Experience TTT’s unique model of performing in the round, with the lights on, minimal sets, and live music. The result is a performance that engages the imagination of our audiences. Through this dynamic exchange, artists and audiences breathe new life into theater together, reminding us that theater is essential to all of our lives. Directed by Caitlin Lowans. Music Direction by Isabella Dawis. Featuring Maje Adams, Sasha Andreev, Pedro R. Bayón, Phinehas Bynum, Julia Diaz, Suzie Juul, and Norah Long. A waitress finds a love note from a mysterious customer and begins a letter-writing romance. Little does she know the object of her growing love is an aging immigrant wine grower. Fearing rejection, he sends her another man’s photograph. This beautiful story marks the revival of TTT’s second-ever musical, asking who deserves love and how we come to understand each other. Free show, donations encouraged.
Duluth Sister Cities is sponsoring a free showing of the Oscar award-winning film, Mr. Nobody vs. Putin at Zeitgeist Theater on Wednesday, April 29 at 6:30pm. Russian teacher, Pavel “Pasha” Talankin, documents the systematic indoctrination of his students after Russia declared war with Ukraine. This powerful film explores the complexities of modern geopolitics through a deeply human lens. Following the screening, DSCI board member JP Gresh — who has served as a military attaché in both Ukraine and Russia — will lead a discussion on cultural dynamics in Russia and the long-term impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine. Admission is free and all are welcome.
