Mrs. Mannerly emerges from the wickedly funny imagination of Illusion Theater audience favorite Jeffrey Hatcher. Inspired by an etiquette class from his youth, Hatcher creates a world of seven-year-olds studying manners in which one student in the class stands out, the one with the Double-O-Seven briefcase.
The production stars Barbara June Patterson (who originated the role of Lucy Stickler in Jeffrey Hatcher’s Murderers) as the textbook perfect Mrs. Mannerly, who is perhaps not quite so perfect. Phyllis Wright, who appeared as Minka Lupino in Murderers, performs a comic tour de force when she pulls off split-second transformations to play all of the other characters in the show.
Tickets $15-$25. Call 612-339-4944 or visit www.illusiontheater.org.
What are audiences and critics saying about Mrs. Mannerly?
“I just keep laughing. I don’t remember when I’ve laughed so much in one evening.” ~Audience Member
“Hatcher’s dialogue is typically smart, funny, and subversive…” ~City Pages
“Phyllis Wright switches between characters so smoothly onstage at the Illusion Theater that watching her is like witnessing a gear-changing race-car driver up close. She’s deft and effortless as she goes from the girl who talks in a dull bass voice to the snot-nosed boy who uses his hand instead of a tissue.” ~Star Tribune
“Barbara June Patterson plays the title character with a nice blend of folded-hand propriety and palm-rubbing busybody-ness, a woman whose love for Emily Post is equaled only by her love for Johnnie Walker.” ~Pioneer Press

St. Paul Poet Laureate Carol Connolly hosts “Readings by Writers” every third Tuesday, presented by S.A.S.E. at Intermedia Arts.
Free and open to the public! S.A.S.E. members and non-members are invited for dinner at 5pm (optional, reservations required). Reading 7:30pm. Bar is open before, during, and after the reading.
21st Annual Saint Patrick’s Day Reading
FEATURING FOUR READERS:
Carol Connolly, author of Payments Due: Onstage Offstage from Midwest Villages and Voices, serves as St. Paul’s first Poet Laureate. As curator and host of the long-running S.A.S.E. @ Intermedia Arts “Readings by Writers” series, she joins in reading with other Irish American poets for this event.
Poet Molly Culligan, expert tango dancer and actor, who performs her one-woman shows based on the work of Meridel LeSueur throughout the U.S. and in Ireland, reads from her own work.
Poet Kevin FitzPatrick, author of Down on the Corner and Rush Hour, both from Midwest Villages and Voices, and Greatest Hits 1975 to 2000 from Pudding House Press, Johnstown, Ohio. FitzPatrick is a founder and editor of the Lake Street Review, a highly regarded literary magazine, now extinct, and is widely published in literary magazines and anthologies. His poems have been read by Garrison Keillor on MPR’s “The Writer’s Almanac.”
Poet Ethna McKiernan’s book The One Who Swears You Can’t Start Over, from Salmon Publishing in Cliffs of Moher, County Clare, Ireland, follows her Minnesota Books Award Nominee Caravan from Midwest Villages and Voices. Ethna was CEO of the internationally known late and lamented Irish Books and Media and now works part-time as an advocate at St. Stephen’s Homeless Shelter. Her poetry is widely published in anthologies in the U.S. and Ireland, and her new work, a book near completion, is Sky Thick with Fireflies.

What are audiences and critics saying about Mrs. Mannerly?
“I just keep laughing. I don’t remember when I’ve laughed so much in one evening.” ~Audience Member
“Hatcher’s dialogue is typically smart, funny, and subversive…” ~City Pages
“Phyllis Wright switches between characters so smoothly onstage at the Illusion Theater that watching her is like witnessing a gear-changing race-car driver up close. She’s deft and effortless as she goes from the girl who talks in a dull bass voice to the snot-nosed boy who uses his hand instead of a tissue.” ~Star Tribune
“Barbara June Patterson plays the title character with a nice blend of folded-hand propriety and palm-rubbing busybody-ness, a woman whose love for Emily Post is equaled only by her love for Johnnie Walker.” ~Pioneer Press
Start: 7:30 pm

Mrs. Mannerly emerges from the wickedly funny imagination of Illusion Theater audience favorite Jeffrey Hatcher. Inspired by an etiquette class from his youth, Hatcher creates a world of seven-year-olds studying manners in which one student in the class stands out, the one with the Double-O-Seven briefcase.
The production stars Barbara June Patterson (who originated the role of Lucy Stickler in Jeffrey Hatcher’s Murderers) as the textbook perfect Mrs. Mannerly, who is perhaps not quite so perfect. Phyllis Wright, who appeared as Minka Lupino in Murderers, performs a comic tour de force when she pulls off split-second transformations to play all of the other characters in the show.
Tickets $15-$25. Call 612-339-4944 or visit www.illusiontheater.org.

FREE EVENT!
 Men with linoleum. Head-on bridge collision. Ideal woman in apron. Through more than 10,000 images, Irwin Denison Norling—the unofficial town photographer for Bloomington, Minnesota–captured the strange juxtapositions, incongruities, and dark corners of suburban America in the 1950s and ’60s.
 Get an up-close look at these photographs at the opening reception, co-sponsored by the Bloomington Historical Society. Brad Zellar, the local journalist who unearthed Norling’s negatives, will sign copies of his book. Books will be available for purchase.
Cash bar and refreshments will be available.
