Work of Heart 
7:00 pm
Interact Theater will present Work of Heart, an all original production filled with music, dance and fantastic adventure, inspired by the paintings, sculptures, poetry and vivid worlds created by six Interact Studio visual artists. Written by Dawn Brody, directed by Leah Adcock-Starr, with new music by Ivey award-winner Aaron Gabriel, Work of Heart is a fun and imaginative story of the unlikely hero who must save the world. Featuring guest artists Heather Bunch, Leif Jurgensen and Sarah Nargang with the Interact ensemble of artists with and without disabilities, Work of Heart will run from April 28 through May 19 at The Lab Theater.
In this remarkable tale of magic, war and transformation, the ancient queen's diary has been stolen and its secrets could lead to the destruction of the world of Cressily. A terrified nation turns to the only person in all the worlds who can save them - John Mathison, an accountant from Minneapolis. John and Queen Zwelga - along with a cast of memorable creatures and characters – set out on their bold quest to save the world!
The production combines the work of the Interact Theater and the Interact Studio, and brings to life the deeply colorful and complex portfolios of Peder Hagen, Nick Flaming, Matt Zimdars, Anna Halvorson, Eve Newman and Donovan Durham. As with all Interact theater, the play is ensemble created and the multifaceted script development process included contemplation and discussion of the artwork and in-depth interviews with each of the artists. “Inspiration for the music came from the visual artists themselves,” says Gabriel. “Some songs are originals the artists created, some are inspired by a favorite musical artist and others are collaborative pieces created to help tell the story.”
The theater will become a canvas showcasing the rich and colorful themes of the artists’ visual artwork in a dramatic and fantastical way. "Work of Heart is an imaginative hero's journey through the realms of a fantastical world just beyond the threshold of our own,” says director Adcock-Starr. “A collaborative dance of visual art, theatre, and music, Work of Heart springs from the collective creativity of a dazzling array of artists."
Additionally, audiences will see an in-depth look at the work and portfolios by the six featured visual artists curated by Interact Gallery Coordinator Stephanie Rudd and installed in a unique galley space created at The Lab for this production. Work of Heart also includes Tom Sandelands (Sound), Marcus Dilliard (Lights), Jackee Sandelnds-Strom (Designer), and Vanessa Davis (Stage Manager).

Featuring guest artists Heather Bunch, Leif Jurgensen and Sarah Nargang with the Interact ensemble of artists with and without disabilities, Work of Heart will run from April 28 through May 19 at The Lab Theater.
In this remarkable tale of magic, war and transformation, the ancient queen's diary has been stolen and its secrets could lead to the destruction of the world of Cressily. A terrified nation turns to the only person in all the worlds who can save them - John Mathison, an accountant from Minneapolis. John and Queen Zwelga - along with a cast of memorable creatures and characters – set out on their bold quest to save the world!
The production combines the work of the Interact Theater and the Interact Studio, and brings to life the deeply colorful and complex portfolios of Peder Hagen, Nick Flaming, Matt Zimdars, Anna Halvorson, Eve Newman and Donovan Durham. As with all Interact theater, the play is ensemble created and the multifaceted script development process included contemplation and discussion of the artwork and in-depth interviews with each of the artists. “Inspiration for the music came from the visual artists themselves,” says Gabriel. “Some songs are originals the artists created, some are inspired by a favorite musical artist and others are collaborative pieces created to help tell the story.”
The theater will become a canvas showcasing the rich and colorful themes of the artists’ visual artwork in a dramatic and fantastical way. "Work of Heart is an imaginative hero's journey through the realms of a fantastical world just beyond the threshold of our own,” says director Adcock-Starr. “A collaborative dance of visual art, theatre, and music, Work of Heart springs from the collective creativity of a dazzling array of artists."
Additionally, audiences will see an in-depth look at the work and portfolios by the six featured visual artists curated by Interact Gallery Coordinator Stephanie Rudd and installed in a unique galley space created at The Lab for this production. Work of Heart also includes Tom Sandelands (Sound), Marcus Dilliard (Lights), Jackee Sandelnds-Strom (Designer), and Vanessa Davis (Stage Manager).
Eric Church Featuring guests: Brantley Gilbert and Jon Pardi
7:30 pm
Eric Church brings "The Blood, Sweat and Beers" tour to Target Center on Thursday, May 17th!
With word-of-mouth long fueling Eric Church’s sweat-soaked sold-out crowds, Church surprised Music Row naysayers in 2011 when his third release, CHIEF, debuted at the top of the Billboard Top 200 and held the No. 1 spot on the Country Albums Chart for two weeks—a true testament to the years of hard work by Church and his band on the road. CHIEF has since been certified Gold and produced the Top 15 hit Homeboy as well as current No. 1 single Drink In My Hand with Church’s live show serving as the backdrop for the music video counterpart. The album also received a Grammy nomination for Best Country Album. No other up-and-coming artist is quite as suitable for the raucous Church crowd as Brantley Gilbert. Gilbert, who has experienced recent radio success with his No. 1 hit, Country Must Be Country Wide, has been building his fanbase on the outskirts of “polished” country for years in the southeast. Similar to Church, Gilbert brings grit and attitude to the stage – and he should fit in just fine with the theme of The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour.
Tickets can be purchased at Target Center or Ticketmaster.

Standing On Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays
7:30 pm
Showcasing funny, heartfelt “mini works” that celebrate the courage to be in a relationship–any relationship, Standing On Ceremony’s smart and witty vignettes were penned by playwrights whose credits include two Pulitzer Prizes, four Obies, one Emmy and three Tony nominations. Wendy Knox of Frank Theatre will direct a stellar cast of six Twin Cities actors including Laura Adams, Shawn Hamilton Brown, Aimee K. Bryant, Jim Lichtscheidl and Mark Rhein, with one more actor to be announced soon. With this production, the Trust is working in cooperation with Minnesotans United for All Families, the official statewide campaign working to defeat the constitutional amendment that would exclude gays and lesbians from marriage in Minnesota.
As part of Standing On Ceremony each actor performs multiple roles in short pieces by an “A List” cadre of writers including the Minnesota-based Edgar Award winning playwright Jeffrey Hatcher, Heideman Award winner Jordan Harrison, Tony Award nominee Moisés Kaufman, Mo Gaffney, Tony Award nominee Neil LaBute, Sundance Jury Prize winner Wendy MacLeod, Obie Award winner José Rivera, Obie and Outer Critics Circle Award winner Paul Rudnick and Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Doug Wright.
These artists came together to respond to one of the defining issues of our day, the on-going battle for marriage equality. In Minnesota, forces as diverse as the artistic community, the Minnesota Rabbinical Association and the Episcopal Church of Minnesota are aligning to defeat the upcoming November ballet amendment that would change the state constitution.
Standing On Ceremony returns to the New Century Theatre after its November 7, 2011, one-night-only Minnesota debut. It was performed simultaneously that evening at more than 40 theatres across the country and in Sydney and Toronto, including the Minetta Lane Theatre in New York City which hosted the Off-Broadway premiere, to encourage discussion about marriage equality. Standing on Ceremony, conceived by Brian Shnipper and directed by Stuart Ross, began as a series of benefit events in Los Angeles and took on a life of its own under the auspices of the Tectonic Theater Project with producers Joan Stein and Richard Frankel. Tectonic’s Moisés Kaufman, Artistic Director and Greg Reiner, Executive Director, have been involved in other groundbreaking plays including The Laramie Project, I Am My Own Wife, and Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde which have helped spark national discourse about far reaching issues.
