Theater-maker and comedy-doer Levi Weinhagen thinks you should see 

 because, as he puts it, "it will touch you in ways you wouldn't expect." Storyteller Allegra Duncan Lingo brings all her talents to bear as she recounts her and her partner's attempt to conceive a child — a child Lingo is related to only by the "genealogy of happenstance." Performances run tonight through Sunday at the Guthrie Theater in the Joe Dowling Studio. 

Duluth performer Blake Thomas is looking forward to author 

 from his new book "Cabin Lessons" at The Bookstore at Fitger's on Sept. 22nd at 6:30 p.m. Thomas says Carlsen's real-life story about buying a piece of land on the North Shore and building a cabin on a crumbling cliff is sweet and funny and has its own distinct voice. Earlier in the day Carlsen will also be doing a free presentation on the craft of writing at University of Minnesota Duluth where he will use his carpentry skills to demonstrate his writing process.


Improv artist Brandon Boat recommends people check out the new improv troupe
