Two fat new episodes of Electric Arc Radio flatulate fireball-style from the angry bowel of the Ritz in Northeast Minneapolis!
It is … the Spring of Sam.
Sam is not in the hot tub. Sam is not in his bed. Sam is not naked and stretching in his window. Sam is not sending instant messages from his iPhone while pedal-pumping his stationary bike. Where is he?
The remaining roommates—Herbach, Steph, and Brady—are left empty in the house. EMPTY! They must fight to be regain their fullness! But how?
By holding Old Lady Dickinson’s hand and then burning down her home? By sleeping with all of Sam’s old girlfriends and co-opting his identity? Or, perhaps, by turning Sam’s old room into a Frenchie-style cabaret club, auditioning Frenchie-style cabaret singers, and hoping they take their tops off, Frenchie-style?
And what are those noises in the walls and plumbing? Could it be that Sam survives in the bathroom, reading US Weekly, eating almond-scented lotion?
Musical guests include fantabulous singers (Northeast’s VERY OWN) Andrea Leap and Chris Bierbrauer! April 11 includes Sam himself!
Oh, and we shall sing! And laugh! And fight! And maybe do a little frenching, if you’re willing. And burn stuff. And finally, we will hot tub. This is good hot-tubbing weather.
It’s all for the love of you. And you. And maybe you if we could get to know you better. You show a lot of promise. We like your hair.
$15 for one show or $25 for both! Go to ritztheaterfoundation.org for tickets or call Ritz box office 12:30 to 4:30PM, (612) 436-1129.
