Theatre 55 Presents: The Full Monty
The approximate run time of the event is 130 minutes including a 15 minute intermission. Based on the cult hit film of the same name, The Full Monty, a ten-time Tony Award nominee, is filled with honest affection, engaging melodies and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show. While spying on their wives at a “Girls’ Night Out,” a group of unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo sees how much they enjoy watching male strippers. Jealous, out of work and feeling emasculated, the men come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash. In preparing, they find themselves extremely exposed; not merely physically but emotionally. As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness and prejudices, the men come to discover that they’re stronger as a group, and the strength that they find in each other gives them the individual courage to “let it go.”The Full Monty is a story full of heart. Right to the end, audiences will be wondering if these lovable misfits will really pull it off. With a raucous mix of razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz, this heartwarming, upbeat comedy is a must see. Recommended for mature audiences due to strong language, themes of suicide, depression, and unemployment. Nudity is brief and non-sexual. The final scene is staged with backlighting, making the nudity silhouettes. Theatre 55 is committed to creating a respectful and empowering production.

Waking Miss Daisy, a Combustible Company Premiere
The approximate run time of the event is 90 minutes with no intermission. Closing night Q&A with cast & creators after show. As powerful institutions try to erase and whitewash the truth of our shared American story, Waking Miss Daisy confronts the history our culture still struggles to face. Alfred Uhry’s play “Driving Miss Daisy” is reimagined from the chauffeur Hoke’s point of view. With the insightful vision of James Craven and the signature physical direction of Kym Longhi, this immersive multi-media staging brings to life the world of Atlanta, Georgia in the mid 20th century. Uhry’s play was inspired by the actual experiences of his family and their interactions with their Black driver, Willie Coleman. The play has enjoyed enormous success, but it fails to tell the complete story. Written from a white man’s perspective, it’s at best a misguided and naive understanding of the complicated dynamics of race relations. At worst, it erases the experience of its black character. Miss Daisy calls Hoke her friend, but can they be friends if she fails to see his life for what it really is? Waking Miss Daisy reminds us that racism affects all of us, with a performance you’ll never forget. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. This project is also made possible with the support of the Imagine Fund Annual Faculty Research Grants through the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota. Thank you. Content Advisory: The play contains offensive racial slurs, references to sexual assault and depictions of racialized violence, including lynching.
