The scorpion is coming
I am on tech week for "Border Crossing" a show by Off-Leas Area that opens this Thursday.
I am excited and proud of our work. My favorite character is the scorpion. I play the tail of it. Go figure why I ended that in that part of the (scorpion) body. :-)
I also play the desert... but I can't tell you much more.
See it for yourself.
Here is the info:
"BORDER CROSSING"
WHEN - Dates/Times: April 24 through May 4, 2008: Thur-Sat at 8pm, Sun at 2 p.m.
WHERE - at The Ritz Theatre, 345 13th Ave NE Minneapolis
TICKETS - Call the Ritz Box Office at 612-436-1129; for Information Call Off-Leash Area at 612-724-7372
Border Crossing will be a puppet and dance performance that reenacts the dramatic journey of Mexican immigrants who cross the Arizona/Mexico desert border, as seen through the eyes of the creatures who inhabit it. Off-Leash Area turns the Ritz Theatre stage in NE Minneapolis into the Sonoran desert environment of the Arizona/Mexico border, as dancers portray the traveling immigrants, and puppeteers animate desert creatures who comment on the transpiring events in a poetically styled text. Text for Border Crossing has been excerpted and adapted from a larger body of work by playwright Marcie Rendon.
Development for Border Crossing has been provided in part by an Artists Initiative grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board.
