Remember: tomorrow, 7pm, Minneapolis Theatre Garage. You can even have dinner beforehand at Rudolph’s and make a night of it. See you then!

The Heretics’ Ball, Tent Revival, and Medicine show is tomorrow night–so brush up your rural dystopian shoes and come on down! At 6pm is the Heretics’ Reception, free and open to the public–an opportunity to meet the Heretics in person and enjoy some free appetizers while sipping on a beverage from the cash bar. At seven is a sneak preview of Strange Weather, also free. At seven-thirty we take a break and let Panda Sandwich do their thing–for a $20 2-for-1 price, you can hang with both the Pandas and the Heretics. And then at 10pm the music kicks off, with Ghostband, Ficshe, and Gerald Prokop–closing out the evening with electro-synthrock madness.

And finally, on a more serious note…this looked like an Onion article headline but it’s real. Lest we think society is past the days of banned books and book burnings…well, this little news tidbit makes the mission of the Great Heresy Theater Company all too real, our logo all too relevant.

See you Saturday!

Josh recently moved back to the Twin Cities this past September after having spent three years abroad in Japan teaching English to elementary and junior high school students. He’s worked with The Upright Egg Theatre Co. as a dramaturg and is beginning to concentrate more on his own writing and production interests. Hector is his first performing role in four years.

Gerald Prokop was born in a box, and has since been trying to climb out. So far, his left arm and leg are free, as are his right foot and part of his tongue. This allows him to wander around, run into things, and taste them.

Sorry, in all seriousness, Gerald is a songwriter, recording artist and pizza delivery driver who, by some perverse twist of brain chemicals, feels a relief from the weight of creativity by designing web content purely by editing code.
