Mr. H. has been busy sending out postcards promoting the Illusion's
upcoming production, Vanishing Point, so I thought I'd help out with the marketing of said production to make his life a wee bit easier.
If you're in Minneapolis or will be visiting somewhere between June 11 and July 3, you will want to go and check Vanishing Point out.
It's musical theater with a fascinating theme:
VANISHING POINT returns to Illusion as a full production, with wit and audacity inspired by author Agatha Christie, aviator Amelia Earhart, and evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson. These early 20th-century women each disappeared at some time during their lives, and the remote island setting of the play becomes their common "vanishing point." Will they each choose to remain a "missing person," or will they go back to the normal routines of their lives? The mystery unfolds through a gorgeous score by Rob Hartmann and soaring performances by Patty Nieman (Christie), Aimee K. Bryant (Earhart), and Beth Gilleland (McPherson).Honestly, I don't know about the other actors in this musical, but Aimee Bryant is a phenomenal actor whom I seen in productions at the Illusion before and she will knock your socks off every time. The best way to describe Aimee's talent is that she's "gifted." And when she sings---oh, man. She opens her mouth and perfection comes flying out. If you live in the Twin Cities, you will want to get down to the theater and see her perform. She will be a big star one day and you will be able to say you saw her way back when she was performing in Minneapolis. I guarantee it. She oozes talent. Go and check it out if you get the chance.
