Fall
Show 2001 Final Release
Brave
New Workshop Illuminates Sex and Relationships in
"Sex in the Cities: The
Edina Monologues "
Minneapolis, Minn, July 19, 2001.---The Brave New Workshop
Theatre (BNW), founded by Dudley Riggs in 1958, is seeking u 4 fun!
In announcing our 236th comedy revue, titled Sex in the Cities:
The Edina Monologues, BNW reserves the right to intensify our
descriptions ever so slightly in order to whet the appetite. The
show will rage with desire August 23-25, open August 30 and come
to an abrupt halt November 10.
The currently running production, Minnesota Summer plays
through Saturday, August 18, 2001. Sex in the Cities: The Edina
Monologues explores the mysterious realm of love and other urban
myths. In this stirring display, the BNW cast takes intimacy to
new levels, from the sweet first kiss to the bitter, climactic end.
Does the chance to laugh at the ludicrous things that love and lust
make us do sound tempting? Perhaps you're aching to know why the
word 'panty' is so creepy or if there is more to Robin than just
Batman? Though the answers may not be reassuring, especially when
explained by a comedy theatre with "positive neutrality" and "promiscuous
hostility" as its mission, they're definitely hilarious. Come, get
in the mood with the feel-good hit of the fall.
Sex in the Cities: The Edina Monologues is written and performed
by cast members and veteran mainstage actors Dan Hetzel, Katy McEwen,
Jim Robinson and Shanan Wexler, as well as newcomer Nick Knudson.
Actor and audience and media favorite, Caleb McEwen directs. Peter
Guertin is at the reins as music director and Chris Wexler as technical
director.
