Each week I endeavor to list new performance art productions opening around the Twin Cities. With such an abundance of companies and venues in the area, keeping track of openings can be a challenge, but I'll link whatever I can find. Provided descriptions are reprinted from production websites.
October 29th
Four Humors Theater: Love is Blind… and Furry
During a group Psycho-therapy session gone awry, six distinct and lovable perverts (each possessing a distinct and lovable sexual fetish!) are unleashed upon the unsuspecting Binet Hotel. Due to a bungled reservation by renowned sex-therapist Dr. Stevens, what was meant to be a quiet weekend devoted to improving mental health erupts into an unadulterated mish mash of mistaken identities, muted sexual desires, and the opening and closing of doors. Steeped in the tradition of drawing room farces, but perverted through Four Humors Theater's penchant for outrageous physical comedy, biting wit, and honest exploration of the taboo, Love is Blind… and Furry explores the world of sexuality in a way that draws out the absurdity, the beauty and the universality of our most secret desires. Runs at Bedlam Theatre through 11/14.

October 30th
Chameleon Theatre Circle: Reefer Madness
Reefer Madness is a social satire disguised as a morality tale disguised as a PTA meeting. Set against the backdrop of pre-WWII America, Reefer Madness tells the tale of young Jimmy Harper: an upstanding lad who is drawn into a world of dangerous gangsters, loose women, murder, cannibalism and jazz music all because of a single puff on a marijuana cigarette reefer joint. Will Jimmy choose the deadly spliff-stick over the lovely and virginal Mary Lane? Is that Jesus Christ himself pleading with Jimmy to give up the doobies? Can a gangster dance? Why are there zombies? FDR? Answers to all these questions and more await you: The Concerned American Citizen. Tell your children! Save the Country! Beat the Devil! See Reefer Madness! (Not actually recommended for children.) Runs through 11/22.
