With the brief lull in #TCTheater that comes around the holidays*, I was able to head down the road to
Crooners Supper Club in Fridley for a couple of shows. Crooners was a lifesaver for me in 2020, as it was pretty much the only place you could see live performance, in their makeshift parking lot drive-in theater. Now with four different performance spaces (all with food and drink service), there's always something happening at Crooners, much of it theater adjacent. A few days after Christmas I attended The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society's
Christmas Post Mortem show, and a few days before New Year's I attended siblings Kate and Bradley Beahen's cabaret show
Fresh Starts and Showstoppers. Read on for a brief summary of those shows, both of which will be returning in 2025. And if you don't already have your tickets for next Monday's
A Grand UNITE for Civil Rights, a fundraiser for the
ACLU hosted by #TCTheater artist Serena Brook and featuring a veritable who's who of local music-theater talent, you better
get them right now before they're gone! What's better than a night of good food, great entertainment, and a worthy cause?
