Gadfly's Inaugural FINAL FRONTIER FESTIVAL A One-Act Geek Fest Fitting Our Queer and Feminist Mission
May 12th, 2014 (Minneapolis/St. Paul) -- Join us as SIX Sci-Fi and Fantasy one-act plays that fit Gadfly Theatre Productions’ queer and feminist mission take over Nimbus Theatre this June! Going where few LGBQTIA* and feminist artists have gone before, The Final Frontier Festival takes recent conversations about the way marginalized people are treated in geek culture and puts a progressive but still wildly entertaining response on stage. The six shows featured are:
The Final Frontier Festival is broken into two sets that run in repertory June 13th-22nd at Nimbus Theatre in Northeast Minneapolis. Set A Contains Honest to God directed by Anna Lewein, Who Killed Captain Kirk directed by Immanuel Elliott, and The Wolves Above directed by Cassandra Snow. Set B Contains Love Bot directed by Scott Pakudaitis, Falling Awake directed by Mel Day, and Gargle McFury Slays Gender Essentialism directed by Kristin Fox. Featuring the work of over 30 queer, feminist, and allied directors, playwrights, actors, and technicians, Gadfly’s dedication to inclusive and relatable--or “uniquely universal” work continues with this festival. While set in other worlds, laced with magic, or taking place far, far in the future, these six shows still contain characters and materials our regular audience will love--namely likeable queer and feminist characters and messaging that is progressive, PLUS a fun exploration of the growing crossover between geek, queer, and feminist cultures. Gadfly Theatre Productions hosts a FREE salon for the public for each of it’s productions. This one will be held at Boneshaker Books on Wednesday, June 4th at 6:00 P.M. This event is free, features complimentary refreshments from local vendors, guest speakers,, and face time with Gadfly artists and company members themselves. This show is brought to you by all of our donors and sponsors, but especially the Minnesota Jaycees of Shakopee. |

Brodie, a gifted linguist, confident lesbian, and first time mom to be learns unsettling news about the baby she carries. Unable to get comfort from her girlfriend, she finds it in the two least likely sources imaginable: the elderly speaker of a vanishing language…and a gorilla at the zoo.
Madeleine George’s irreverent and charming new play reveals the beauty and the limits of human language. Gadfly's production will utilize a minimalist set to evoke the different locations of the play and a small cast of three female identified actors (namely, Gadfly audience favorite Sondra Glynn, and new Gadflies Alana LaBissoniere and Joann Oudekerk) playing multiple characters to tell this magical and deeply moving story.

This classic drama with a Gadfly twist this fall as director Cassandra Snow. This gives us a chance to examine the unfortunately still relevant racial politics of the piece, (and how double minorities get treated in society) as well as sexism, homophobia, biphobia, and what happens not only to minorities but to the innocent bystanders when patriarchal zealots refuse to let go.
In our production, villainous Iago stands for a small but vocal minority who sees the times changing, and refuses to let them--unfortunately for the rest of the characters Iago’s influence is still widespread and poisonous, and we see how that unfolds in tragic ways by the end.
