POPULARITY
Denzel Belin joins us for the end of Police Squad! and maybe also his mind.
AD Police (Files) is only nearly every free streaming service, as though they are trying to prepare us for the inevitable future of MegaTokyo. It's only three years from now after all. Denzel Belin joins us for the most adult show we've tackled so far. Maybe we can't take it. Maybe we shouldn't take it. Maybe we should ask someone to fill us with bullets already and get it all over with. @from_washington @derickarmijo @SingleSeasonTV singleseasonrecord@gmail.com
The Muppets are the perfect antidote to the bummer inducing we imposed on our guest Denzel Belin last time he was with us for My So-Called Life. Unless of course, those Muppets are too busy with their phones so the show has to be about humans and their dumb self-centered relationship concerns.

It's Christmas time and My So-Called Life is here to bum you out.
Theater maker Grant Sorenson of Minneapolis is excited about the return of a unique theater project being staged at Norway House in Minneapolis.Local creative Kurt Engh adapted the Norwegian author Erlend Loe's cult novel “Naïve. Super” into a one-person play where — here's the twist — the show will be performed by a different actor each night.The play is about a 25-year-old who one day realizes they aren't happy with their life. Through a series of small changes and discoveries, they piece their life back together into something they can enjoy.The actors include seasoned veterans and emerging talents. Sorenson, who saw the original pre-pandemic iteration of the show, is fascinated by the ways the play could shift nightly.As to the challenges of directing and performing a show with a shifting cast, Sorenson says “the show is built to support the performer. The script is available to them in a binder, but then also in books, in lists, in projections that happen throughout the space. Part of the fun is sort of seeing where the actor finds the text of the play.”“Naïve. Super” is 90 minutes without intermission. It runs Friday through Sept. 17.Art enthusiast Florence Brammer of West St. Paul has been attending Mixed Precipitation's traveling outdoor operas for 15 years, having never missed a season. The company's Pickup Truck Opera series offers inventive takes on famous operas, abridged and performed across the state at parks, vineyards, nature centers, and other beautiful spaces.There's still time to see this season's production of “Romeo and Juliet,” adapted and updated for modern times from Vincenzo Bellini's 1830 opera, I Capuleti e i Montecchi (The Capulets and the Montagues). In Mixed Precipitation's signature style, they combine opera sung in bel canto style with pop songs — in this case, works by such “star-crossed” bands as the Fugees, Fleetwood Mac, and the Pixies. Performances are Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. at Alexis Bailly Vineyard in Hastings. Other dates and locations include Sept. 8 at Dodge Nature Center in West St. Paul, Sept 9 at Swede Hollow Park in St. Paul, and Sept. 10 at JD Rivers' Children's Garden in Minneapolis. Editor's note: The show was adapted by MPR's Denzel Belin, who was not involved with this episode of Art Hounds.

It only took 12 years, but it finally happened: we have a new Pokemon Snap game! It's a joyous time for Pokemon fans, and Jake and Michael couldn't be more thrilled.

Painter Dan Wiemer of Red Wing, Minn., has long appreciated the work of Two Harbors, Minn., painter Dave Gilsvik. Gilsvik paints scenes of the Northwoods, with vividly-colored trees and lakes that reflect the sky. “He is so authentic because he truly paints what he knows,” said Wiemer, who encountered Gilsvik’s work because both painters have work at the Sivertson Gallery in Grand Marais, Minn. Gilsvik paints in what Wiemer describes in a style that arose among artists working in Canada in the 1920s that has a “chunky, rustic, stylized look.” Wiemer said Gilsvik’s skill in painting winter landscapes inspires his own work. “I didn’t like to paint winter until I saw Dave’s paintings, and the amount of color he puts in a winter scene, it blows you away.” Courtesy of DalekoArts "Noodle Pie Island" Jay Melchior and his 4-year-old son have a standing date on Saturdays to watch the livestream of “Noodle Pie Island” from Daleko Arts in New Prague, Minn. The interactive kids’ show has his son singing and shouting along with the actors. Viewers are encouraged to write their name on the “Noodle Board” — the YouTube chat — and that allows Captain Laroo, played by the show’s creator Lauren Anderson, to call the kids by name during the show. The adventure includes a craft time, with the crafts incorporated into the adventure. As a special education teacher, Melchior likes how the show incorporates social emotional learning, including in an episode that explored gratitude. Past episodes of “Noodle Pie Island” are available on YouTube. To watch the show live at 11 a.m. on Saturdays, sign up at Daleko Arts through their “Home Invasion” series. Butch Roy, executive director of HUGE Improv Theater, recommends seeing the Blackout Improv group any time you have a chance, and the next chance is Friday. Blackout is an all-Black comedy troupe based in the Twin Cities, and like many performers they’ve shifted their shows onto Zoom as a way to continue interacting with audiences. While an improv show by its very nature is different every time, Roy said their performances are invariably “heart-felt, funny, [and] timely.” He’s seen the improv actors respond to the moment with engaging social commentary along with humor. Editors note: Denzel Belin, an MPR News employee, is a member of Blackout Improv, but is not cast in the show above.
