After the tragic closure of HUGE Theater this fall, only a year after opening their new space in Uptown, a bunch of improv shows needed to find new homes. Some of them organized as
The Neighborhood, performing monthly at Jungle Theater just a few blocks away. Some of them moved to
Strike Theater in Northeast Minneapolis, some of them
found or created other spaces. Happily, my all-time favorite improv show
Family Dinner has found a new home at Dudley Riggs Theatre where
Brave New Workshop (the oldest comedy troupe in the country) performs, operated by Hennepin Arts. With just eight shows performed to sold out houses, hopefully
Family Dinner will be back at its new home on Hennepin Avenue for years to come, so that we can experience this communal
Family Dinner that's both absurd and grounded in reality, both laugh-out-loud funny and heart-warming, as we get to know a new and uniquely wacky family each time. There are two remaining performances this year, but if you want to go you should get your tickets now before they sell out (I have some friends who waited too long and missed out on the fun). For real,
