About the project: In this gritty American classic, sons of a desert-dwelling alcoholic clash over a film script. Austin, the achiever, is working on a script he has sold to producer Sal Kimmer when Lee, a petty appliance thief, drops in. He pitches his own idea for a movie to Kimmer, who then wants Austin to junk his bleak, modern love story and write Lee’s trashy Western tale. Additional info: PERFORMS: Weekends on April 21-May 14 and a night on Monday, May 1. COVID PROTOCOL: Masks are required when CDC community levels in Hennepin County are at Medium or High.
