someone was asking me where Fringe Central was going to be located this year, was it YOU? anyway, it's called Fringe After Hours now, and it will be rotating to a few different spots around the Cedar-Riverside area (with a RETURN to The Crooked Pint?!) and our final night closing party at The Cedar!
beyond excited to return to The Crane Theatre so soon Theatre Pro Rata's next show, Lauren Gunderson's Book of Will alongside all these AMAZING folks as one of Shakespeare's original King's Men...Richard Burbage!!
Make sure you check us out this fall, September 26th-October 12th!

last friday it was dang near 80, tuesday it snowed bunches, today it's clear and sunny again. so let's get a ANOTHER Fool's Sprong Playlist out there...
Motz playlist "rules": only 25 songs | shuffle a-ok | my beat is correct.

no foolin', tonight we start rehearsals for Three Sisters/No Sisters from Theatre Pro Rata! this is a bucket list role for me in a very classic play with a very new and very wild contemporary "experiment" laid overtop with a VERY AMAZING cast! don't miss this one, it's gonna be pretty dang special!
RIP to Ken Bruen, one of the most important crime fiction writers of the 2000s, a staggeringly original and distinct voice, and an amazingly prolific talent.
RIP to the writer of "Booze and medication is the worst of songs. Sing that!"
i rarely use ebay but it's true, i had to turn it off manually. jeezits croutons, enough already!
closed a show yesterday, start a new show in a few weeks, better wrap the latest playlist so i can start the next one!
