"You better eat your sour kraut, dear."

"Did you pack a pistol?" "Oh no, I left it in my other pants pocket."

On with the show- cast member Nathan and Jamie

Nathan responding to Jamie from moment in the Boring People Anonymous sketch or I could be wrong and its from the Jingle Bells Rinzo spot.

Clean and Smelly- Rinzo gets the dirt work done

In honor of sour kraut

Have some sour kraut, its good food.
Let's all get in a sour kraut mood !

On with the show

608 Main Ave in Fargo is home to the Rinzo Radio Theater (on Sundays it also the the place where Harvest Community Church meets)
The space can probably seat 80 but we have never really tried to pack them so perhaps it could be more. I am usure how many came to the show this year but I estimate it was upwards of 30. Yeah, that seems small to some but we even had a family come all the way from France to see the show. I hope they were not disappointed.

Brought to you by....

Rinzo, the only detergent that gets your clothes clean and smelly, proudly sponsored the show this year. They even offered to launder all the audience members' clothes after the show. Many did not participate.

At just under 2 hours this was perhaps the longest show to date. Photographer Phil has taken numerous pictures of the performance and many of those shots will be posted here.

Jesse lent a hand and ear and did a fine job ensuring all the music and recorded sfx were co-ordinated with the script. He also created a digital recording which we hope to make available to any interested parties to share with friends and family. Sorry Rinzo samples no longer available.

5 more days

With 2 rehearsals left and 5 more days until this year's performance, we are in crunch time. Fortunately I received good reports from the other crews- especially technical in which I was not sure a "backdrop" was going to be made. An even bigger treat is that the show will be recorded so there may be CDs made to be passed around to friends and family.
Speaking of people, from the reports of others I surmise there will be an influx of audience members this year. This is definitely encouraging. Although radio theater does not necessarily need to be viewed to be enjoyed, make sure get there early to get a good seat. This is sure to be an evening you don't want to miss.

Here's a few sneak peaks:
- Once again Riparian Bird Habitats brings you all the latest birding news including a bird identification contest. Don't worry this is funny yet informative.
-A salute to sour kraut.
-And of course show regulars Balty and Geraldine plus Sven tells 2 jokes this year.

Fun, Food, Funny, Free.
