Bye Bye Liver - The Twin Cities Drinking Play

Bye Bye Liver, the Twin Cities’ Drinking Play, is a high octane comedy adventure centered around one of the Twin Cities’ favorite past times—drinking. With outrageous sketch comedies mixing drinks, interactive drinking games and male versus female inebriation, Bye Bye Liver is a play premised on the simple joys and complex consequences that indulging in a drink or two or three can bring.

The Bye Bye Liver casting calls on comedy stalwarts who are involved at such local enterprises as the Actor’s Theatre of Minnesota, Brave New Workshop Theatre, Stevie Ray’s Comedy Cabaret, Stages Theatre Company and the Fringe Festival, among others. Cast members include John Carson, Chad Dutton, Jane Froiland, Andy Kraft, Matt Kraft, Kendra Ryan, and Aly Westberg with direction by John Haynes, director of the Creative Institute at Actor’s Theater.

The hour-and-15-minute show premiered in Nashville and was originally created by producer, writer and director Byron Hatfield.

Star Tribune says, “Show has been knocking them back”
City Pages says, “A-list event!”
TC Daily Planet says, “Bye Bye Liver hits the sweet spot”!

It's Madame with an E

Before there was Paris, Lindsay or Britney, there was Madame! The world’s most infamous diva is back in all her glory with a new man on her arm, and the same biting wit that has made her a cultural icon. “Today, to become a celebrity you need a million dollar stylist and a pricey publicist. In my day, all you needed was a cheap pair of knees pads!”

With the help of her friend Crazy Mary, her fabulous gowns, and her new co-star Rick Skye, Madame tells her life story illustrated with outrageous photos from her personal album, video of some of her past performances, and songs both original and classic. Part Broadway musical, part autobiography, It’s Madame with an E promises “something new, something borrowed, and something oh-so-very blue. So leave the little ones at home, or I guess you could crack the window and leave them in the car.”

Flanagan's Wake

Flanagan’s Wake

Join the villagers of the beautiful Grapplin, County Sligo, Ireland, as they tell tales, sing songs and mourn the passing of one of their own, Flanagan.

You’ll be transported to the Emerald Isle to grieve as only the Irish can. You can share tales of your own experiences and misadventures with dear old Flanagan or simply enjoy the stories and songs of the locals as they recall life with “himself.” Once you have arrived in Grapplin, you’ll pay your respects to glowering Mother Flanagan and to the poor grieving fiancée, Fiona Finn. Listen to a eulogy written by County Sligo’s best-known writer, Mickey Finn, and tip a pint with Brian Ballybunion, himself a weaver of tales. You can cross yourself with the blessings from St. Gregory’s parish priest, Father Damon Fitzgerald, or cross your fingers that local pagan Kathleen Mooney doesn’t cast a spell on you. Mayor Martin O’Doul will preside over the proceedings with an iron hand (and a parched throat).

Cabaret from the USA

Dear Friends,

Thanks to generous support from the Saint Paul Cultural Star Program Actors Theater is able to present a collection of talent and performances unlike anything else now playing in Minnesota. Cabaret from the USA! is a four-show series bringing to Minnesota some of the greatest cabaret acts performing today. The 120 seat Cabaret in Camp Bar provides an ideal venue to experience these tremendous shows in an intimate way. Each show has a very limited seating and only a handful of performances. I encourage you to act quickly so that you will have the best selection of performances.

SIMPLY BARBRA CHRISTMAS!


starring Steven Brinberg

Brinberg has twice toured Australia, New Zealand, and England to rave reviews. Brinberg returns to Camp to perform a collection of songs drawn from Streisand’s quintuple-platinum “A Christmas Album” and her new release, “What Matters Most.”

“…uncanny ability to truly capture Streisand’s vocal mannerisms in speech and song!” - The Stage, London

“Almost as luminous as Streisand herself…a remarkably fluid voice…a star of cult status has been born” -Sydney Morning Herald

“Absolutely brilliant! Affectionate and wickedly funny.” -Eric Myers, Time Out New York

IT’S MADAME WITH AN E

(starring Madame) Co-starring Rick Skye. Pianist Ricky Ritzel.

February 2 – 4, 2012

Before there was Paris, Lindsay or Britney, there was Madame! The world’s most infamous diva is back in all her glory with a new man on her arm, and the same biting wit that has made her a cultural icon. “Today to become a celebrity you need a million dollar stylist and a pricey publicist. In my day, all you needed was a cheap pair of knees pads!” Madame with an E is a hilarious romp through the life of a legendary lady. Part Broadway musical, part autobiography, this multi media valentine to show business combines the double-entendre comedy material of the beloved puppet-character originally created by Wayland Flowers, with up-to-the-minute current event commentary and dishey gossip about Hollywood celebrities past and present. The show, filled with songs both original and classic, showcases Madame’s very blue sense of humor and is for adults only. “For anyone interested in seeing the rebirth of a nightclub legend (and hearing jokes about sex, drinking and husbands) the show is a must-see!” – The Press of Atlantic City

LESLIE JORDAN

Leslie Jordan, fresh off his supporting role in the critically acclaimed box office smash The Help as well as a Summer 2011 sold-out Southeast tour, brings his new one-man show to the Cabaret at Camp Bar for the first time! Featuring behind-the-scene stories from the star-studded, record-setting hit film The Help as well as wildly entertaining anecdotes about the highs and lows of life on the road, Jordan’s natural born storytelling keeps every audience in stitches! His autobiographical one-man show Like a Dog on Linoleum performed to sold-out audiences from coast to coast. His play Hysterical Blindness and Other Southern Tragedies That Have Plagued My Life Thus Far packed houses in Los Angeles and had a successful seven month run Off-Broadway. An Emmy Award-winner for his recurring role on Will & Grace, his creation of Brother Boy in the cinematic cult classic Sordid Lives and his acclaimed turn as both autobiographical author and star of My Trip Down the Pink Carpet have collectively brought Jordan into households, stages and movie screens throughout the world. Jordan is the consummate raconteur in every sense; this is a show you must see!
