You've read the book. You've watched the movie. Your kids have sung the school song. You've ridden on the bus. You've admired the seed art. You've been trained at the camp. You've shed tears at the memorial. You've kept the signs in your yard and the bumper stickers on your car years after they've become irrelevant.
So what do you do for an encore?
How about an uplifting evening at the theater?
A stirring and insightful portrait of Senator Paul Wellstone and his wife Sheila. This new play is filled with the passion, politics and surprises of one of Minnesota's most out-spoken and controversial politicians.
There really is no end to this, is there? What's next? Wellstone! the musical? Wellstone! the opera? Wellstone! the interpretive dance? Wellstone! the Saturday morning children's cartoon?
UPDATE-- Katie e-mails to say that the play is the thing:
Last year we had a contest with another couple to see who could find the biggest piece of crap masquerading as art, (my pick was "anything at the Walker") and then we'd all go see it. Wellstone! won hands down...it was in previews at the history center. Of course at the end of the day, no one was willing to plunk down 20 bones for it!
