My favorite improv show is back! Improvisor Molly Ritchie started
Family Dinner, a two-act improvised play about, you guessed it, a family gathering for a holiday* dinner, about 20 years ago. The show eventually landed at HUGE Theater where it played to sold-out houses for 13 years until HUGE sadly closed its doors last year. But it has found a new home at the Dudley Riggs Theatre, the home of Brave New Workshop and part of the Hennepin Arts group of theaters.
It's been playing every Friday and Saturday since November 7, and will continue through the end of December (that means just four more shows!). It's become a sort of tradition for the
Twin Cities Theater Bloggers to gather for our own TCTB family dinner, and then watch a performance of the most hilariously awkward
Family Dinner you'll (hopefully) ever experience. I joined my friends from
Beyond the Curtains,
Minnesota Theater Love,
Play Off the Page,
The Stages of MN, and
Twin Cities Stages for a fun evening of dinner (at Crave right across the street) and comedy on Hennepin Avenue.
