OH, THE HORROR! Sorry to break it to anyone who thought otherwise, but Chicago and New York have always been better theatre towns than Minneapolis/St. Paul. We have scrappier baseball players, but they’ve always had better theatre.

THIS SOUNDS COOL Lovingly filed under the How The Hell Did I Not See This Sooner section of FringeFamous is a little something called Theatre Arlo. Their mission statement — “Theatre Arlo wants a pony” — is something any artist can easily get behind. But be...

THE SUPER SECRET IS OUT! Yes, that’s right. The secret location of the TC’s new theatre bookstore has finally been announced: 1771 Selby. The location promises big windows, high ceilings, in-floor heat, and a potential backyard patio — all the things you want in a bookstore.

HEY, IVEYS…YOU DIDN’T TOTALLY SUCK! After taking a day to reflect on Monday’s Ivey Awards celebration, I’ve come to an odd conclusion: it didn’t totally suck. I know, right? I expected it to 100% suck. I’m used to it 100% sucking. I even kind of wanted it to 100% suck. But it didn’t. In fact, I’d...

Well played, Fringe Famous. Agree completely with the suck list.

If the Iveys actually think that actors will take losing a made-up award as an excuse to start fashioning nooses, the Iveys don't know actors AT ALL (I still think this might have validity actually). Artistic lives are ALL ABOUT rejection and loss. I like your "Ivey Nominee" idea, by the way. Still strokes the ego without pulling the hair off. And it would give smaller theatres the kudos they're looking for instead of getting their rocks off for simply being included in the slideshow at the beginning.

WATCHING PEOPLE CELEBRATE THEMSELVES IS FAR TOO EXPENSIVE Big thanks to one of our loyal readers for sending us this Ticketmaster receipt for tonight’s Theatre Prom. And that total is with the super-secret discount code. Is it worth it? I’ll tell you tomorrow, but my guess: not a chance.
