The BIG LOWDOWN opens on Wednesday, August 24! Presented by Bedlam Lowertown, in collaboration with Dangerous Productions and Live Action Set.

When the ingenious gentlemen of Four Humors apply their unique, clever, and hilarious storytelling style to a classic such as THE INGENIOUS GENTLEMAN DON QUIXOTE OF LA MANCHA, it's a thing not to be missed. And even though I've experienced many such unique adaptations by Four Humors, as well as original work, last night's world premiere opening night still gave me something unexpected. As the play points out, everyone knows Don Quixote, even if you're never read the book or heard the name Miguel de Cervantes. Four Humors tells the classic story about honor, chivalry, and madness in a unique way using puppetry projection and by making Cervantes a character in the play, allowing the characters to step outside the story and comment on it. I believe this is Four Humors' debut at the Guthrie, which will no doubt expose a new audience to their often accomplished mission 'to create art that celebrates the humor, stupidity, and beauty of our world by letting the artist connect with the audience in a vulnerable and honest way.'

Enter a world ruled by fevered delusions and far-flung imagination, where a windmill transforms into a giant and a filthy innkeeper becomes a king. Join us in a realm of illusions and experience the story of a man who can no longer leave his beautifully imagined world, even after the curtain has come crashing down.

The Department of Theatre Arts & Dance has announced its 2013-2014 performance season, which showcases emerging talents of Sonoma State University students studying dance, theater and music with productions including the beloved Broadway musical 'Fiddler on the Roof.'

Those wishing to be inspired and gain skills ranging from creative movement to voice training this fall have a perfect opportunity at the Guthrie. With uniquely gifted instructors and a wide range of offerings the 2013 Fall Multiweek Classes are an ideal way to ignite skills and passions through exciting classes.

Tonight, October 4, 2012, after 2 years of shows, Four Humors says goodbye to its monthly cabaret in downtown Minneapolis. The night will feature special guests, original sketches, musical guest John Up Front and post-show after party with a full wine and beer bar.

Live Action Set, the award-winning, genre-bending troupe, presents BASIC NORTH. Poignant, poetic, and amusingly astounding, Live Action Set carves out new artistic avenues in the most intriguing show of the season, running now through July 8 at the Southern Theater. Check out photos from the production's opening night below!

This summer, Live Action Set jumps back on the stage with a brand new creation. This time, the award-winning, genre-bending troupe is guided by one principle: no bullshit. Mask sans mask and an 8-bit soundtrack, BASIC NORTH successfully avoids the direction leading to a lackluster blend that is the middling mean.

The Ivey Award winning Live Action Set co-presents the premier of Basic North, an evening in three directions, its newest and bravest original production, June 28-July 8, at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis.

Following an award winning run at the Cincinnati Fringe Festival, Four Humors returns to the Twin Cities for a three week engagement at the Gremlin Theater with the original work Bombus and Berylline or the Bumblebee and the Hummingbird, tonight, June 21 through July 7. The show is based on character concepts by company members Rachel Petrie and Ryan Lear, paintings from local visual artist Amy Crickenberger Oeth, and stories from children of all ages.
