With a flurry of theaters opening their seasons this monthânot to mention the
Ivey AwardsâI'm abbreviating this week's edition of Arts Orbit Radar to make
time to cover it all. Here are a few of the most notable events happening this
week.
INSIDE THE DAILY PLANET
THEATER | Mixed Blood's "A Cool Drink a Water" is an enjoyable family story
http://tcdailyplanet.net/node/39282
by Bev Wolfe, TC Daily Planet
Last weekend, Mixed Blood Theatre opened the Midwest premiere of playwright
Thomas W. Jones II's play "A Cool Drink a Water." The play is an ambitious
modernized, alternative-universe portrayal of the characters from Lorraine
Hansberry's groundbreaking play A Raisin in the Sun, which debuted on Broadway
in 1959.
THEATER | Upright Egg's "Venus": Volcanoes, pancakes, and green-haired alien
sex kittens

by Sheila Regan, TC Daily Planet
Iâve been meaning to go see an Upright Egg production ever since I wrote a
preview about their show "Uranus" two years ago. I appreciate the companyâs
attempts to produce âgreenâ theater and their endeavor to create a series of
ecologically-inspired plays (which Upright Egg co-produces with NYC-based green
theater collective Superhero Clubhouse).
Looking for Park(ing) Day in Minneapolis and Saint Paul
http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/39293
by Amanda Noventa, TC Daily Planet
Lawnchairs, shrubs, grills and even music were brought to parking spaces in
parts of Minneapolis and Saint Paul on September 17. The annual Park(ing) Day
had groups of activists, artists and citizens transforming parking spaces into
impromptu parks, with the meter plugged all day. At about 20 locations all over
the Twin Cities, these temporary green spaces were up and running during some
time between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Several Minneapolis schools to get extra $$$
http://www.tcdailyplanet.net/node/39099
by Gail Olson, North News
The federal government is giving four Northside schools an average of $1
million each over the next three years. Thatâs the good part. The not-so-good
part is the reason: they are among Minnesotaâs lowest performing schools.
