2012 | Best Theater

It's not just that Mixed Blood Theatre is coming off a particularly strong season, though its 2011 offerings were excellent from beginning to end. Mixed Blood hit particular highs with its return-to-its-roots production of Avenue Q and the end-of-the-year Center of the Margin festival, which tackled disability issues with the same verve and understanding the company has brought to other topics over the last 30 or more years. That alone was enough to push Mixed Blood to the fore, but it was a... More »
2011 | Best Comedy (Theater)

Pro wrestling seems like a perfect target for a comedy. After all, the adventures of overmuscled, heavily greased men in tight, colorful costumes--produced for straight men, by the way--is funny enough on its own without any outside spoofing. Still, the best comedy comes from deep knowledge and, very often, a love of the material being spoofed. Playwright Kristoffer Diaz obviously loves professional wrestling, but he can also see how this super-sized sport is a fine way to look at... More »
2004 | BEST THEATER FOR DRAMA

Mixed Blood Theatre is on a roll. Last fall, the company enjoyed a surprise sellout with Stephen Sachs's Sweet Nothing in My Ear, a family drama told largely in American Sign Language. They followed that one with a fiery production of Suzan-Lori Parks's Pulitzer Prize-winning tragedy of fraternal rivalry, Topdog/ Underdog, an area premiere that played to regular standing ovations. And this past February, Mixed Blood teamed with Michael Bigelow Dixon, the Guthrie's literary director, for Bill... More »

Latest Mu show looks at kids who are always home alone

By Ed Huyck | Thu, March 15, 2012

Growing up alone has been a part of the American experience for many kids for generations. The effect this has can be debated, but it's clear that the topic can make for great drama. That's true in Ed... More »

Crashing the Party

Whatever one's opinion is of the Occupy movement, there's no denying that the demonstrations have brought increased attention to the unprecedented disparity between the wealthiest of Americans and the vast majority whose incomes have stagnated (or... More »

Event Review: Neighbors

| Fri, September 23, 2011

Go into this one with a OPEN MIND.. It's not what I expected, initially, and can come off very SHOCKING and OVER THE TOP.. But if you can put all of the Symbolism together and step back to understand the message you may be surprised at what you learn.. I think it makes a point by making you feel UNCOMFORTABLE!

The productions at Mixed Blood are hit or miss. Also, the space itself is a bit of a dump.
