Event Details

The Dreamery Rural Arts Initiative has invited Minneapolis’s Ten Thousand Things to Wykoff to perform The Good Woman of Szechwan by Berthold Brecht on April 24 at 7pm in the Wykoff Community Center. The performance is free and open to the public, with ADA accessibility. No tickets nor reservations are necessary.
(Minneapolis, MN, March 16, 2018) — Michelle Hensley ends her tenure as Ten Thousand Things’ Artistic Director with a return to the first show TTT performed: Bertolt Brecht’s The Good Person of Szechwan. The tale, told with music and humor, follows a poor woman who receives a bag of gold from the gods and is torn in two as she tries to help all her struggling friends but take care of herself at the same time. Hensley directs a cast of Christina Baldwin, Sun Mee Chomet, Joy Dolo, Tyson Forbes, Elise Langer, Harry Water Jr, Karen Wiese-Thompson and Max Wojtanowicz.

TTT first performed Good Person in 1989 at a homeless shelter in Santa Monica, California. Hensley moved the company to Minneapolis in the early 1990s. “The circle that is so important to Ten Thousand Things brings me back one last time to the Brecht play that started it all,” said Hensley. “I am eager to see how our very changed world will shed new light on this timeless story.”

Hensley has directed and produced more than 70 tours for the company. She also has staged TTT-style Shakespeare tours for The Public Theater in NYC and California Shakespeare Theatre. San Diego’s Old Globe, Baltimore’s Center Stage, Delaware Shakespeare Festival and Cripple Creek Theater in New Orleans are now among many theaters using TTT’s model. She has been named City Pages Best Director in multiple years and Best Artistic Director in the Twin Cities by the Star Tribune in 2012. In fall 2017, she received the Ivey Award for Lifetime Achievement. She is a recipient of a McKnight Theater Artist Fellowship and the Francesca Primus Prize for outstanding contribution to the American theater by a female artist. Her book about TTT, All the Lights On, was published by the Minnesota Historical Press/Howlround Press in 2015.

ABOUT TEN THOUSAND THINGS
Ten Thousand Things bring lively, intelligent, professional theater to people with little access to the wealth of the arts—who in turn help our artists and traditional audiences re-imagine what theater can be. Theater-goers experience the immediacy and vibrancy of theater through a performance in which there is no stage and actors perform in the middle of the audience, inches away from patrons. With minimal sets and costumes, the finest quality actors in the region fully engage the audience by distilling the story to its essence. Marcela Lorca has been selected as the company’s next Artistic Director.

ABOUT THE DREAMERY
The Dreamery Rural Arts Initiative is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting and expanding arts experiences in rural Fillmore County, and to making use of renewable/sustainable energy sources to do so. Summer 2018 events, including the Play! in the Barn Series, are generously supported by individual donors. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
