Anna Sundberg as the Sexy Librarian
Sexy Librarian by Joking Envelope Productions
A meek librarian lives in quiet frustration until she finds an ancient tome with a horrible spell and transforms herself into a beautiful monster. Whip off your glasses and shake out your hair for this stereotype-smashing twist on the classic Jekyll and Hyde tale. A rock musical about fantasy, obsession, and rockin' the bookmobile after hours. Get ready for the total opposite of quiet in the library. Through Saturday May 21 at Minneapolis Theatre Garage.

Now Eye See You, Now Eye Don't
What's it like for a visual artist to go blind? Inspired by Off-Leash Area Co-Artistic Director Paul Herwig's own challenges with vision loss, "Now Eye See You, Now Eye Don't" is the story of a successful visual artist who goes blind--a darkly comic production with big choreographed dance numbers, plenty of humor, and a universal story of loss, dignity and hope. Performances at the Ritz Theater through May 7.
