Nikki Abramson is presenting NO LIMITS, a one woman show about disabilities and defeating the odds, at the Minnesota Fringe Festival from August 5-14 at the Ritz Theater Studio! “Told at the age of 5 she would die in her teens, Nikki Abramson refuses to be stamped with an expiration date. Now 29, watch as she pushes past limits while portraying a cast of colorful characters in her world.”
Sarah Brown has been painting! Stay tuned for opportunities to see her work.
Evelyn Digirolamo is creating and performing in a theater piece called 600 Years, presented by Sandbox Theatre and premiering at the Southern Theater August 26-September 18. “What if humanity was inherently good? Sandbox steps 600 years into the future to tell the story of a matriarchal society guided by preservation and trust. Wilderness has reclaimed the planet. After two centuries teetering on the brink of extinction, the human population has stabilized and entered into a renaissance. Elite bands of women known as Seekers brave the harsh elements that separate a scarcely populated landscape, bringing with them messages of hope, history and knowledge to aid in rebuilding a more connected society.”
