Cake In 15

UNTITLED FEMINIST SHOW is glorious. It is ecstatic, roiling, honest, hilarious, heartbreaking and aside from one uproariously grotesque blowjob scene, nigh-on family friendly. The show, by Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company, is a commision by the Walker Art Center and is the first in their four-weekend Out There 2012: Global Visionaries Festival, opening the event [...]

It is the end of the year and to mark the passing, we’ve compiled a slice of some of our top CakeIn15 posts. That means some of our most commented and most shared posts as well as some that were really just fun to write. We hope you have enjoyed what we’ve been able to [...]

…from c.a.s. and Staciaann of CakeIn15. Thanks for all the reads, comments, contest entries and feedback over the last year. We hope you have a wonderful, warm and light-filled holiday, whether it be Solstice, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Chanukah, Festivus, Diwali, existential crisis or paint-smeared proto-pagan ritual. It’s all good for music & art. Onward and upward [...]

If you are sitting around in Minneapolis and not quite sure what to do with yourselves tonight, let us offer a couple suggestions for you. Obviously, we brought you an interview with Grieves & Budo yesterday, so if you are looking for a hip-hop show, that’s going to be your bag, and then there are [...]

There are two theater companies that are near and dear to the heart of CakeIn15 which are currently in the end run of Kickstarter campaigns for their upcoming productions, so (seeing as how, yes, contributions have been made- we support the art we want to see) we’d share their videos and give them an extra [...]

“That whole idea of decade packaging, things don’t happen that way…that packaging of time is a journalist convenience that they use to trivialize and to dismiss important events and important ideas. I defy that.” -Utah Phillips, “Bridges” from The Past Didn’t Go Anywhere Journalist convenience or not, a decade is about to come up on [...]

So here’s a quick recap of some continuing adventures of the Fringe, including moments of psychotropic mania courtesy of Primadonnas and some of the most personal storytelling I have ever had the privilege of witnessing, along with some other important theater-type happenings this weekend! It’s a frenetic hodge-podge of things strung together mostly by the [...]
