Ruby’s @ The Lab
Take one of the Twin Cities finest theater spaces (The Lab Theater) and a culturally diverse aesthetic (Ruby’s Cabaret), and you have a recipe for not just great theater, but way too much fun.
“If you were any kind of Twin Cities cultural hipster in the late 1908s or early 1990s, you knew about Ruby’s Cabaret. The club in the Minneapolis Warehouse District housed the first performances of jazz group Moore by Four and was the original home of the idosyncratic Ballet of the Dolls. Now, 16 years after it faded from the local scene, Ruby's is making a comeback. ”

Sisters: Jearlyn & Jevetta Steele
with Isabell Monk O’Connor
September 11 - October 5, 2008
"Sisters" is all about the richness and impact of sisterhood, but not without including the brothers. Jearlyn and Jevetta (of the celebrated Steele Family) have selected songs and tales from their dog-eared journal of favorites. Isabell Monk O’Connor
(a longtime member of the Guthrie Theater’s rep company) provides the spoken word segments of this rich and hilarious evening. Sanford Moore performs his magic on the piano, and Kenyari Jackson provides the percussion.
So don't leave the men at home...this is a must-see show for everyone. It might even make the meekest of Minnesotans want to stand up and holler, “You go, girls!”

Around the World in a Bad Mood
November 5 - November 16, 2008
Live from NYC (LGA/JFK/EWR) it’s Rene Foss…in her hilarious, one-woman show. Originally seen locally as a Fringe Festival hit, this show has gone around the country and come back again. THis time the big question is: "How much do Pringles cost?"
“Wickedly playful; by all means book a seat….”
--Rob Kendt, LA Times
“A first class ticket to laughs.”
