Fortune's Fool Theatre turns TWENTY this fall, and what better way to celebrate than to present FREE THEATRE, enabling anyone in the Twin Cities to attend? Playing in repertory will be two irreverent, bawdy musicals that thumb their noses at the powers that be: first, a remount of the biggest hit in our history, YARRRH! THE LUSTY, BUSTY PIRATE MUSICAL, a swashbuckling parody of classic pirate movies and traditional gender roles; second, the WORLD PREMIERE of an audacious, daffy, and equally ribald sequel, HAVE YARRRHSELF A LUSTY, BUSTY XMAS!, which ridicules the holiday season and billionaires who aspire to run the country. Both shows feature a live orchestra and three extraordinary women singing, swordfighting, and playing over twenty roles (male and female) between them!
Each show has a run time of approximately 60 minutes with no intermission. On five dates, both shows will be performed with a 30 minute break in between. See our link for dates. Note: these ARRRH-rated shows are recommended for those 12 and over; younger kids may have some *interesting* questions after the show!
Written by Daniel Pinkerton and Chris Gennaula
Directed by Erika Sasseville
Music directed by Brenda Varda
Orchestra: Dee Langley, accordion
Featuring Wini Froelich, Ariel Pinkerton, and Caitlin Sparks as everybody -- pirates, villains, wenches, moppets, ghosts, and legendary beings!
Swing*: Victoria Pyan
*a "swing" understudies multiple performers (in this case, all three!)
ABOUT OUR TICKETING:
1. You do not need a reservation to see any performance; we do keep some tickets set aside for walk-ins. However, a reservation will guarantee you a seat.
2. If you want to reserve seats, you must reserve a ticket for each show you want to see. Don't worry! Admission is free and there are no fees.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund that was created by the voters of Minnesota.
