In the Heart of the Beast Urging Support
In the Heart of the Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre (HOBT) is making an urgent appeal for support to keep the joy and magic of puppetry alive in Minneapolis.It’s been an amazing year with HOBT actively manifesting its mission of nurturing creativity, as it has done for the past 50 years, by continuing to grow Education Programming through school residencies, community classes, and workshops.

While he’s in his motel room, Travis melts down an unidentified opioid drug in a spoon and shoots up in his arm with a hypodermic needle. Heroin or fentanyl, or something else, the viewers do not know. (Director Ivan Sen’s Limbo is eerily similar to John Sturges’ 1955 Bad Day at Black Rock.)The first potential [...]
