Thank you, Kira. I look forward to seeing this play. Best wishes through the rehearsal process and to all the company as they bring the wonderful essence of storytelling through theater to those who might not otherwise see it. I love Ten Thousand Things!

Bradley Greenwald writes like he acts–with wit, honesty, intelligence, and compassion. (And he’s quite an accomplished female impersonator I might add–loved the delivery of the calf.) Thank you, Bradley, for all you contribute to the Twin Cities theater community. You are a treasure!!!!!

Thanks for this, Bradley. It is so wonderfully, amazingly true. Keep up your good work in all the venues in which you play!

Hymen’s story is worthy of the starring role he plays in As You LIke It.

Comment on The audiences we meet by Colleen

I loved this show. There is really something spectacular about a minimalist set, basic costumes, fantasticly timed music, actors that play multiple parts very well, & convincingly, and sitting face-to-face with the actors and other audience members with the lights on. We become a part of the show! What a lovely and funny interpretation of a Shakepeare plat that I could understand and appreciate and get so into, i couldn’t wait for what would happen next. My funny bone got revved up and by the end I was unabashedly laughing “hardely” out loud! Often!! It felt so good. it was “fun” to see other audience members react. It increased my enjoyment. Though I felt a little bit shy, I loved that one actor eloquently said his lines while looking down into my face and never missed a beat. I liked feeling squirmy at that moment. I marvel at the ability of these actors, men and women, and how they put themselves completely into this work and mesmerize us, take us somewhere else for a few hours and we laugh, and live and “feel” and even learn a few lessons. I laughed!!! yah!! I wish I could have stayed to shake each of their hand s and thank them personally. I laughed on my way home, I laughed the next morning, and I laughed to myself several times for brief moments at work the next day thinking back on moments of the show. I am so grateful for this show and Ten Thousand Things Theatre. Keep doing what you are doing. It is “grace” filled for all of us.

Comment on Audience Reactions by Taous

I am really fascinated by the connection I can draw between the Ramsey County Men’s Workhouse audience you write about here and the majority of audiences I perform for currently in Algeria. Typically when we perform in the states everyone just shuts up and watches. The sudden intense interaction between audience and performer in a show where you can’t really talk back at the audience, (like when they say “she’s still cute” and you want to say “well thanks”) I find to be a bit of a shock and sometimes hard to navigate. I am pondering what it is about your audience there and the audiences here that make them less inhibited…

Thank you for this intriguing insight behind the scenes as TTT performs around the State. I already have tickets for myself and 4 others for a public performance and will enjoy it even more knowing how the play was presented and received at other locations. I am a TTT devotee – the best theater I’ve ever seen!
