The Barn Theatre Presents: Beating A Dead Horse

The Barn Theatre Presents: Beating A Dead Horse
By Jenny Stafford

Directed by Thom Rosengren

Synopsis: Steve and Marty Martin are two brothers on the brink of closing their failing pet funeral home, “A Nice Farm Upstate with Plenty of Room to Run Around.” That is, until an eccentric, rich old lady offers them a fortune for the funeral of her nearly dead racehorse, Sir Trots-A-Lot. There’s only one problem: the horse won’t die. A comedy about some loveable fools and their wild schemes. No animals were harmed making this show.

The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra: Sang Yoon Kim Plays Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto

SPCO Principal Clarinet Sang Yoon Kim performs one of the most beloved pieces in classical music, finished just weeks before Mozart’s death and often referred to as the composer’s swan song. In this concerto, the clarinet embodies different
characters in dialogue with each other, leaping from the instrument’s deepest
registers to its brightest, much like the human voice. Just as in Joseph
Haydn’s Symphony No. 67, there is a delightful, airy sense of humor, charm and buoyancy
that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
