Trademark Theater's first live production after the extended intermission of the last year or two is, of course, something truly original. During the time off from live performance, they've been working on developing new work, including a collaboration with local band
Kiss the Tiger, whose lead singer Meghan Kreidler has been seen on theater and music stages all over town.
Stone Baby is a concert/theater/performance hybrid unlike anything I've seen before. The rock concert storytelling format in the vein of
Hedwig and the Angry Inch combines original rock music and a wild story about a musician who choose her art no matter the consequences. It's completely mesmerizing, and a welcome step outside of my comfort zone of traditional theater.
Stone Baby can be experienced every Wednesday night this month at Icehouse, a really cool music venue in South Minneapolis (
