Unfortunately, people who didn't realize the importance of the history of this seminal musical group. I was astonished by the audience, not understanding the importance of this musical genre. I was moving to the music, although it appeared that this section of Minnesota was not interested in this musical quality of the artist. And people around me were Minnesota'nice'. I understand what Minnesota nice is : ambivalence and lack of respect, for anyone is not in 'their' group!

Gremlin Theatre uses the space for their productions but they also rent the space to other theater companies. Last weekend I saw a performance by Teatro del Pueblo at Gremlin's venue. It was a small theatre, which officially seats about 120 people, although it was hard to believe because it was so intimate. The seats were comfortable and I could see everything very well ( there couldn't have been more than five or six rows). I think this is a good space for small theater companies. Bravo.

The performers did a fantastic job blending humor and audience participation, making it an unforgettable night.

If your looking for a unique and lively event for a group I highly recommend!

We had had a terrible experience trying to deal with a different company originally and we ended up having to find another company and I am so so glad we found the Mystery Cafe. First off, Brian, who is the owner, was just fantastic all around, responsive, accommodating, kind, and organized. The night of the actual performance, I did not feel nervous at all, he and I had communicated multiple times and also already tested all of the electronics weeks prior to the event, it went off without a hitch. It was fun because it did require audience participation, but it was not too high pressure and they made the atmosphere just so light and exciting and it was FUNNY! There was so much humor and I found myself laughing a lot more than I had thought that I would. 10/10 would recommend. They came to our event, there were 3 actors and I must say, I think that the cost was very fair and reasonable. Great time!

When you walk in you are immersed in historical beauty from the stunning chandelier to the detailed woodwork. We are so fortunate that we have the privilege to have such a preserved historical theater. Now mind you it is historical, so the seats can be a bit tight if you are working with winter jackets and football sized men. The bathrooms are certainly a bit of a game here if you are here for a show that has a intermission. The security line at the front door can be a bit challenging on a cold winter day, but there are additional entrances through the skyway and side entrance. The lobby has many bars that are very quick every time we go. If you do pay on a card, they automatically add a 18% tip.

If…read moreyou are wanting to expand your inner artsy self or perhaps expose your children to more creative adventures you owe it to yourself to pull up the website and see what is happening. I recently attended the one woman show called "woman who drink"--by Leslye Orr who is also part owner of the theater. I applaud and admire the brave soul she seems to be and am in awe of people that can be so uninhibited and free to just perform on stage and be vulnerable. This was the second time I have seen this show and I love it but she did inform the audience that the "ladies" are retiring after this weekend! Boooo hooo. On a side note Leslye is legally blind and also authored a book called the "People on the Corner" that is a story for children to help them understand that just because others may have differences like race, disabilities, family structures, cultures, we are all human and want to be acknowledged. Coming up for the trick-or-treating season they are hosting a dress up event for children dressed in costume to bring along a stuffed animal friend that is also dressed in costume and there will even be a little tea party after the show. Leslye and her husband Zaraawar Mistry seem to be a perfect pair that want to offer an event space for unique events where everybody is welcome and at affordable prices sometimes even just a donation!
