Review: AND THEN THERE WERE NONE at Lyric Arts


by Jared Fessler - March 07, 2026

Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None has been keeping readers and audiences guessing for decades, and Lyric Arts’ current production shows why the story still works so well. Running through March 22 in Anoka, the play delivers plenty of suspense, a steady build of tension, and a mystery th...

Review: THE OUTSIDERS at Des Moines Performing Arts


by Jared Fessler - March 06, 2026

On February 27, 2026, I made the drive from Minneapolis down to the Des Moines Performing Arts Civic Center to catch the national tour of The Outsiders. I’d been hearing a lot of buzz about the show, and since it hasn’t made its way up to Minnesota yet, I figured it was worth the road trip to se...

Review: THE MUSIC MAN at NIACC Performing Arts


by Jared Fessler - March 05, 2026

Seeing The Music Man in Mason City just feels right.

Review: KIMBERLY AKIMBO at Ordway Center For The Performing Arts


by Jared Fessler - February 25, 2026

Some musicals are flashy and loud, but Kimberly Akimbo captivates quietly, drawing you in with humor, heart, and honesty. From the first moment on stage, it becomes clear that this is a story about people — messy, awkward, hopeful people — rather than spectacle....

Review: GLEN PHILLIPS (OF TOAD AND THE WET SPROCKET) at Dakota Jazz Club Minneapolis


by Jared Fessler - February 24, 2026

Seeing Glen Phillips at the Dakota Jazz Club on February 23 felt easy in the best way. No production, no band, no big entrance. It was just him, a guitar, and a room full of people who really wanted to be there....
