Saturday: Ballad of the Guy
Fans of unusual musicals (e.g. Cannibal! The Musical) take note. An hour and fifteen minutes seems short when it comes to customer support, so you ought to observe this abridged rendition (aptly titled Tech Support: The Musical) of what it takes to fix a broken refrigerator. Saturday evening, from 8 to 9:15 at the Mabel Tainter Theater, be amazed either by this quirky comedy's Minnesota Fringe Festival-worthy production, or your very ability to be entertained by something we've all had the chance to hate. Further details. And pictures from an earlier show.
Also on Saturday:H2O Extreme Showing, Honk! Jr., The Return of Dale's Bash, Grease, The Eau Claire Cavaliers at Carson Park, some Native American music with Dennis Hawk & Clinton Miller, Duncan Ninja, and Larry and His Flask.
And on Sunday: Farms + Power of 2 + Bad Tonya, The Eau Claire Cavaliers (again!), Singers and Songwriters Sunday, Ski Sprites Water Show, independent locally-made film Spirited, and Summer Sounds with Soprano Mitra Sadeghpour and friends.
Art Shows: A Voyage of the Eye, Story Lines: Narrative and Sequential Images, Summer Breezes, and The Mighty Chippewa Photo Project.
