STAR TRIBUNE BLURB
"This was among the joys of the 2005 Minnesota Fringe Festival: Fighting steamy heat and Uptown traffic, I managed to squeeze in to see Adventures in Mating, and the clever banter among writer/actor Joseph Scrimshaw, Alayne Hopkins and Craig Johnson rewarded the effort.
Since the Fringe, the show has been produced in England and just last month at a small venue in New York. Now, the original Fringe threesome is back, in an expanded version, opening on Valentine's Day at Bryant Lake Bowl.
Adventures is the perfect interactive show for passive-aggressive Minnesotans--just shout anonymously without leaving your seat. Scrimshaw and Hopkins play a couple meeting on a blind date. Johnson is the waiter and at key moments, he rings a bell, stops the action and asks the audience to help make choices.
Should they order red or white wine? Should they kiss? Should they end it right now? Or go back to his place? There are 60 possible combinations of scenes and outcomes, based on audience response."
