Rondo ’56

Saturday June 28th @ 6pm.
With its four musical hosts, Rondo ’56 paints a portrait in music, stories and archival photos of St. Paul’s thriving Black neighborhood in the decade before it was sliced down the middle to make room for I-94. Alive with oral histories, archival images and R&B and gospel hits from the years following World War II – by Nat King Cole, Dinah Washington, Mahalia Jackson, Big Mama Thornton and more – Rondo ’56 is a loving evocation of this vibrant and tight-knit community that most of St. Paul’s Black residents called home.

Seen And Heard: An evening of songs & stories about mental health

Join Mni Giizhik Theater for a FREE evening of performances around the theme of mental health, directed by Sara Pillatzki-Warzeha.

This performance is a jumping off project to experiment with something that engages with audiences and musical theatre beyond talkbacks, online commentary, or surveys.

Seen and Heard invites you, the audience, directly into the process through direct, immediate engagement as the performances are happening. We’re in need of audiences who are willing to not only come and be entertained (more on this in a minute) but who are willing to live in an idea with us while they watch. We want more-diverse populations to feel like musical theatre is accessible to them if they want it- as performers, audiences, creators, everyone!

If you want to see it, but your health is dependent on witnessing rather than participating – that’s awesome too!

The evening will be a mix of songs and stories, both entertaining and emotional, put together by a team of fabulous singers/actors from here in the Twin Cities:

Kyle Camay
Charli Fool Bear
Yvonne Freese
Charlie Morgan
Adrienne Zimiga-January
And featuring Jack Johnston as Music Director/Piano

Please come and join us- it’s a FREE event and will be a lovely night out.
