SUMMARY:Jim Stowell "Talking Pictures"
DESCRIPTION:Talking Pictures is Jim Stowell’s Emmy Award winning play based on his travels through Guatemala\, Honduras and Nicaragua. This play showcases his Dickensian descriptions\, his knack for memorable characters and is an emotional roller coaster. These stories do not make the people of these three countries into distant strangers\, completely different than us\, but rather recognizes them as neighbors\, family and friends\, with concerns like our own. When he is done describing the joy of a spontaneous fiesta along the road\, the horror of a half-naked child fighting a dog for a piece of gristle and the beauty and the ugliness that exist side by side in Nicaragua\, Honduras and Guatemala\, you’ll feel you know more about those countries and their people’s lives and their resilient human spirit. \nTeller Bio:\nLearn more at Jim Stowell’s website \n \nA professional actor\, director\, playwright and storyteller for around fifty years\, Jim has written and directed eleven full cast plays. This includes two children’s plays\, two adaptations\, a Spanish language one-act and the book for a musical comedy\, running somewhere in America for the last 17 years and produced three spinoffs. \nJim has written and performed twelve one man plays that were commissioned and produced by six different theaters in Minneapolis-Saint Paul. His work has also been performed in New York City\, Los Angeles\, Chicago\, Atlanta\, Houston\, in a big blue tent in Northern Wisconsin\, an Art Center in Mexico\, a theater in Guatemala\, a school in Nicaragua\, a banana plantation in Honduras and a jungle village in Brazil. \nNOTE: Starting on March 31\, 2025 Hennepin Ave 26th St to Douglas Ave will be under construction. Check our ‘Getting Here’ page for parking options. \n\n\n\n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button.\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Jim Stowell "The World’s Most Frequently Bombed Hotel"
DESCRIPTION:The World’s Most Frequently Bombed Hotel  is a story with a big heart filled with vivid\, singular\, sometimes raw\, characters who come to life in Stowell’s tales of Belfast\, Northern Ireland where he lived in a Catholic neighborhood which had the highest rate of violent incidents anywhere in the country during the “war”(AKA “The Troubles”). That is the way he operates wherever he goes. He lives within the culture and gets to know the people on their ground\, on their terms. All in service of the story’s ultimate question: In places like Belfast where does hope come from? \nThe press has called Stowell\, “A great American storyteller. “ “A genius” “Not to be missed.” His work has been compared to or with\, Lewis Carrol\, William Faulkner\, Gary Snyder\, Mark Twain\, Fellini and the Marx Brothers. \n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button.

SUMMARY:Jim Stowell "Life in the Theater"
DESCRIPTION:Jim Stowell with an  energetic and engaging performance of his autobiographical stories\, this time surveying his first experiences with life in the theater: \n“In 1968 I started acting\, what I think of as at a professional level. I am still working onstage in 2024. So I have worked in live theater for 56 years. I have watched the life of theater in the Twin Cities change and change and change again. \nI did not grow up wanting to be on stage as a number of people I have known in the theater did. They started doing plays in their living room or in their backyard for family and friends. Not me. At that age I wanted to play 3rd base for the Brooklyn Dodgers. So\, how did I get started in theater? Why theater? This story answers those questions and talks about the hard work\, the raw fear of failure\, actual failure\, heartbreak\, friendships\, joy\, hopelessness and new hope. A goofy kid with big ears from south Texas who comes to Minneapolis knowing no one in the theater world of the Twin Cities and knows nothing about theater\, becomes a star. At least\, in the Twin Cities.” \n  \nTeller Bio:\nLearn more at Jim Stowell’s website \nA professional actor\, director\, playwright and storyteller for around fifty years\, Jim has written and directed eleven full cast plays. This includes two children’s plays\, two adaptations\, a Spanish language one-act and the book for a musical comedy\, running somewhere in America for the last 17 years and produced three spinoffs. \nJim has written and performed twelve one man plays that were commissioned and produced by six different theaters in Minneapolis-Saint Paul. His work has also been performed in New York City\, Los Angeles\, Chicago\, Atlanta\, Houston\, in a big blue tent in Northern Wisconsin\, an Art Center in Mexico\, a theater in Guatemala\, a school in Nicaragua\, a banana plantation in Honduras and a jungle village in Brazil. \nPhoto credit: playsforallages.blogspot.com/2010/09/treasure-island.html \n\nTo register: \n\nAdd the number of tickets you want by clicking the ‘+’ button\nClick the ‘Get Tickets’ button.

SUMMARY:Jim Stowell “Rio Bravo / Rio Grande Part 2”
DESCRIPTION:This is the second of four performances of the essential Jim Stowell autobiographical stories. Each show is unique and can be enjoyed independently of the others.  \n Many of these stories have not been performed in a decade or more. “Rio Bravo / Rio Grande” part 2 continues the lives and times of living on the border\, in McAllen\, Texas with all the complications of guns\, grit and immigration.  \nThese stories evoke the deep moral and cultural heart of the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Each of these stories is filled with the sights\, smells and sounds of a landscape so alien\, yet so familiar\, that you would swear you are traveling in the territory of myth\, where everybody’s stories mingle and mesh. Echoes from just about anybody’s childhood can be heard deep in the heart of these stories. But at the same time these adolescent adventures are so distinctly Texan\, and so utterly pure\, that they conjure a hot and dusty world of their own. \nSee “Rio Bravo / Rio Grande” part 2\, Saturday\, November 11 @ 7pm on the 1762 Hennepin Stage. \n\nRio Bravo / Rio Grande Reviews:\nJayne Blanchard Saint Paul Pioneer Press. “Jim Stowell’s Rio Bravo! Rio Grande! stories are so enrapturing that you feel like those cartoon characters lifted off their feet and floating through the air on the wavy wafts of some luscious aroma. Rio Bravo! examines the sunbaked memories of what he calls\, ‘memory geography.’ The memories start gleefully but as boyhood moves into restless adolescence Stowell notices the unspoken truth of what separates once inseparable friends.” \nTeller Bio:\nLearn more at Jim Stowell’s website \nA professional actor\, director\, playwright and storyteller for around fifty years\, Jim has written and directed eleven full cast plays.
