Meal at Shish in St. Paul after a workshop and radio interview.We are blessed to have such a wonderful welcome in Minneapolis. The opening night for Refugee Nation was SOLD OUT! Sadly, several people had to be turned away BUT that's great because they can still get tickets for the rest of the run. We have had amazing reception to the play beyond our wildest expectations. So far in only two public performances, we have had standing ovations, a very diverse audience, and incredible publicity. Droves of various groups have come with curiosity, anticipation and excitement from all across the Midwest: Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois. Refugee Nation is ablaze with energy lighting up the Twin Cities with pure theatrical force. This is powerful theater that brings communities together. The rest of the run is going to be HOT HOT HOT! Publicity on radio, print, and internet media have been widespread! Minneapolis rocks! St. Paul rocks.
