Showing This Season At 825 Arts

Sparks Sessions

Come join a band for a month! February 24th from 6-8pm, Spark Sessions is a space for musicians to meet and collaborate, without the pressure that you might have at a jam session or open mic. At the kickoff session participants are formed into new bands/groups, and everyone returns a month later for a showcase performance. What you do in between is all up to you! Expect to have fun, stretch your comfort zone, and be open to collaborating with people who you might not normally. Some limited rehearsal space will be available

Ten Thousand Things: Men On Boats

The American government sends a crew of explorers down a river to name and claim things that aren’t theirs to own – and they soon hit rough waters.  Riffing on the history of an 1869 expedition through the Grand Canyon and played by a cast of people the first journey left out, Men on Boats is a raucous adventure that questions our mixed-up myths of masculinity and Manifest Destiny.

Mar 12-15

Maxxeapolis

NEW DATE: MARCH 6th 7:30PM

A brand new sketch comedy group is about to hit 825 Arts! Maxxeapolis is Minneapolis, but BIGGER. Formed by two self-proclaimed “sketch comedy freaks” with decades of sketch writing, directing, performing, and producing between them (Pack Theater, Upright Citizens Brigade, Philly Sketchfest, BlackVerse Comedy Show), this crew features the BEST of the best writers and performers the Twin Cities have to offer. Sketches may include over-the-top situations, consciously stupid jokes, moments of clarity and high brow fun, and one joke about Helen Keller.

MAXXEAPOLIS is coming to 825 Arts with a 60-75 minute sketch comedy show! One 10 minute intermission. Positive mental attitude and joyous laughter mandatory for entry. Dress code: casual. Plus ones allowed. Plus twos are better. Recommended ages 18+ due to language, on-stage debauchery, and general absurdity. RSVPs encouraged, but not mandatory. Please, no gifts.
Featuring: Greg Baker, Nina Diatta, Laura Hild, Jamil Jackson, Justin Johnson, Caroline Kraft, Anika Peterson, Alex Stokes, and Nate Weingarden.

New Native Theater: The Bird Blind

The Bird Blind, a world premiere by Alaska Native writer, Kira Apaachuaq Eckenweiler, is an unflinching and compassionate story set in an Inupiaq village on Alaska’s Norton Sound. As generations clash, addictions simmer, and the tundra bears silent witness, a young boy and a troubled hunter expand the meaning of kinship in a makeshift bird blind. With razor-sharp dialogue, and cultural truth, Eckenweiler weaves a play that is both a gut punch and a prayer revealing how even burdened people can find their way home. NNT is known for discovering and developing Native writers; following in that tradition, this new play will be directed by Artistic Director, Rhiana Yazzie.
