About this Event

Stories and Songs

Drawing from theater careers adding up to almost 100 years, these two “chairmen of the boards” relive in music and stories from the decade — the 80’s! — when these Twin Cities were the artistic rival of 1916 Paris, the famed Algonquin Room or the Nashville Waffle House. Spanning milieus and monologues, lighting grids to green rooms, personal triumphs to tragedies this is a show sure to warm the February chill. Whether or not you made Minneapolis/St. Paul home in the 1980’s you’re sure to find a bit of your heart yearning for the innocence, thankful for surviving and entertained by the sheer audacity. Preview, run and closing February 28, 2026 at 6 pm.
