Ten Thousand Things: The Most Happy Fella

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.

Aerial Arts Classes

The aerial branch of Sandbox – The Swingset – is again taking flight, this time at 825 Arts! Thanks to the generosity of the Minnesota Regional Arts Council, we are able to offer these FREE beginner aerial trainings. This training is for anyone! We love to use aerial arts to explore story and to feel playfully powerful. Come play and surprise yourself.

You’ll be guided with one-on-one instruction by resident aerialist Evie Digirolamo who has trained and choreographed performers in the aerial theater productions: Little Pilot, Houdini, Bone Mother, The Matrix (for the 5/5 Fringe Fundraiser), Snow Queen, and Charlotte’s Web. Evie believes you are the expert of you and loves to find adaptations for each person that feel exciting and empowering, and she insists that you’ll be surprised by what you can do.

Dates through May 5th are currently open for folks to reserve a spot in advance. Class size will be kept small because we will only be working with one person at a time on one aerial silk. Each class will keep 5 spots available for walk-ups.

You can find the google form to request to reserve a spot here: https://forms.gle/iKThZu79zkvLs5nG9

You will receive an email informing you if your reservation is confirmed.

Young folks welcome as well, but will need to be accompanied by a guardian who can sign a waiver for them to participate.

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.

April 22-May 10, 2026
