Loudly, Clearly, Beautifully at The Hive
Loudly, Clearly, Beautifully, playing at The Hive Collaborative through January 31, lives up to its name. In this self-penned one-woman show, Elena Glass shares the story of her father's Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosis when she was a young teen, and how his decline defined her family and her life for 16 years.

Parade Tour at Hennepin Arts (Orpheum Theatre)
Three days after Donald Trump was sworn in for his second term as President, the North American tour of Parade had its official premiere at the Orpheum Theatre in Minneapolis. The theme of injustice in America seemed terribly fitting.
With a book by Alfred Uhry and music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown (who was in attendance), Parade follows the true story of a Jewish factory superintendent who in 1913 was accused of murdering a factory worker, 13-year-old Mary Phagan. The musical originally premiered on Broadway in 1998 and won Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Original Score (out of nine nominations). Despite positive reviews, the show ran only 84 performances on Broadway, followed by a U.S. tour.
