The 7-Shot Symphony Returns To Loring Theater 12/5

Minneapolis physical-theater company Live Action Set performs a one-night-only encore performance of The 7-Shot Symphony, 2011 Ivey Award winner for "Best Overall Production" December 5th, 2011 at Loring Theater.

Hailed as "the love child of Quentin Tarantino and Cirque du Soleil," Live Action Set's mash-up of seven myths from around the world reinterpreted against the backdrop of America's epic Old West has received both popular and critical acclaim. The show's American setting of superhuman strength, heroism, and comeuppance illuminates the contemporary relevance of these ancient tales.

The event is also a "Trigger Finger Fundraising party" to support Live Action Set's touring initiative. In addition to the show itself, there will be advance sales for the new The 7-Shot Symphony CD of music from the show composed by Tree Party, a pre-show mingle with cast and crew and a post-show live set with Tree party in the lobby.

Originally premiering in March, 2011 at Loring Theater, The 7-Shot Symphony has since then performed in Red Wing and Chicago and marks the company's first multi-city venture beyond the Twin Cities' borders.

"Based on the success at home as well as in Chicago and Red Wing, we believe this show has the wings to take flight and soar to audiences beyond our Twin Cities. Touring extends the life of the production, employs actors, promotes Minnesota, and is a big part of our plan for long range sustainability." - Noah Bremer, Artistic Director
