Yellow Tree Theatre Presents THE CUBICLE For Three Performances 8/14-8/16

Yellow Tree Theatre and Theater for the Thirsty present, "The Cubicle" Hailed as "one of the favorites of the Fringe" (Des Moines Register, 2006) and the "Sleeper hit" of the 2005 Minnesota Fringe Festival (Pioneer Press, 2005), "The Cubicle" has been described as "...a little bit Beckett, a little bit Seinfeld and a whole lot of cunning, well observed originality." (D. Papatola, Pioneer Press).

It's a "very clever, quite funny and even moving meditation on life in small squares and how that impacts the other parts of our lives." (J. Bruner, Des Moines Register) Two corporate stool pigeons, Bob and Jim, are stuck in cubicles on wheels. We see their cubicles morph into their various environments as they roll through their daily routine and their daily struggle to truly connect with well, anyone.

Written and performed by Jeremiah Gamble and Corey Mills.

August 14,15 & 16.
Only 3 performances!
Fri & Sat @ 7:30 Sun @ 2:00

We at Yellow Tree Theatre have this dream. We see the people of this community gathering together and getting excited about theatre. We see our theatre as a meeting place where everyone feels welcome, an artistic venue where people of all ages and walks of life can mingle together. Maybe we're a little romantic, maybe this sounds like a crazy convoluted idea, but we're okay with that. We like crazy.

Why Osseo? Because we want to run into you at the gas pump and help you shovel your driveway. We want to notice when you get new glasses. That's why we chose this place. We love the small-town feel and the hanging flower baskets. It feels like a place where people still carry ice skates over their shoulder, where fishing rods still roll around in the backs of pick up trucks. It feels like a good place to call home.

What kind of plays do we do? Good ones. Quirky ones. Plays that you may have never heard of. Plays where characters may be a little off-the-wall but their stories are lovely. We like to be a place where new plays begin. We like to take chances. We want you to come to our plays and have yourself a good chuckle. We want you to laugh like a hyena and disrupt the actors. We want to surprise you and inspire you and remind you about being human. We want to see your uncle Al, the big burly truck driver in the third row, get out his hanky, wipe his eyes and blame it on hay fever. We want our plays to stir up conversations between teenagers who wear hoodies and grandpas who wear dentures. Silly, you say? Maybe. But we think telling a good story can do these sorts of things.
