The BAND Group, a new Twin Cities-based theatrical company devoted to supporting other nonprofits, is pleased to announce its first production: TART, a modern retelling of Molière?s iconic French comedy Tartuffe adapted and directed by Adrian Lopez-Balbontin playing Jun. 1-16 at Bryant-Lake Bowl in Minneapolis.

Considered one of the greatest stage comedies of all time, Tartuffe, ou l'Imposteur (Tartuffe, or The Impostor) tells the story of the titular character?s false piety and the havok he wreaks on the gullible nobleman Orgon and his family. For this production, adapter and director Adrian Lopez-Balbontin has reset the action from Orgon?s stately home in 17th Century France to backstage at his gay nightclub in the present day; where Orgon?s family of friends, lovers, and drag performers unite to try and save him from the ?salvation? offered by the moral crusader Tartuffe. TART is a shockingly funny yet serious examination of hypocrisy in all its forms and a parable on the dangers of externalized and internalized oppression; all within a dazzling package of slapstick comedy and drag numbers.

As part of The BAND Group?s mission of bringing awareness, exposure, and financial support to other non-profit organizations, this inaugural production will be partnering with RECLAIM Twin Cities. RECLAIM works to increase access to mental health support to queer and trans youth who are marginalized because of their gender identity, gender expression, and/or sexual orientation so they may reclaim their lives from oppression in all its forms. Additionally, RECLAIM strives to change the landscape of access to care for queer and trans youth through deep practitioner development, training, education and outreach, and community partnerships at the intersection of gender and racial justice. For more about RECLAIM, please head to their web site at Reclaim.Care.

Featuring: Jex Arzayus (Damis), Dan Britt (Tartuffe), Sabrina Crews (Mariane), Nolan Henningson (Dorine), Kevin McLaughlin (Elmire), Todd O?Dowd (Orgon), James Satter (Officer), Parker Sera (Cleante), Courtney Stirn (Valere), and Kjer Whiting (Pernelle)

Kelcey Ayer, the creative force behind Jaws of Love., has always been an ace at writing a good love song?he just didn?t always know it. ?I used to think that in order to write about love, something had to be wrong,? he says. ?I often got my material from pain, or insecurity, or problems?I thought I couldn?t write a good love song because I am in love and it?s going so well. But I?ve grown to realize that even in the most amazing relationships there are turbulent times and misunderstandings that are unavoidable. And that doesn?t mean that anything is doomed, but love is such a complicated thing.

Sundae + Mr. Goessl, features award-winning vocalist Kate Voss (Earshot Magazine's Vocalist of the Year) and Seattle's busiest freelance guitarist, Jason Goessl. This charming husband/wife duo incorporates humor, vintage style, interesting instrumentation, nostalgia and serious chops in their act and were awarded Best Jazz Act of 2017 from Seattle Weekly. Established in 2014, this industrious couple has produced 5 albums and booked 9 national tours while enjoying "living the dream" as full-time musicians. In a word, this act is delightful.

Big Georg Jackson Blues Band
Vocalist/harmonica player Big George Jackson is known as the ?authentic big man of the blues?. He sings with a distinctive bass-rich voice, only a six-foot six inch gentle giant could be blessed with. Add his fat harmonica playing, dead-on phrasing, commanding stage-presence and instant audience rapport and it?s easy to understand why the audience howls when he delivers his music.
