'Pure Prine' returning to the Phoenix

Hit show back for a replay

There hasn’t been an official announcement from the Phoenix Theatre yet, but performers featured in the company’s two-week-run hit :Pure Prine” are letting their fans know that the show is coming back in August for a multi-week run.

The brainchild of Phoenix Producing Director Bryan Fonseca, the show weaves together songs by John Prine to tell the story of six bar dwellers (played by local musician/actors including Tim Grimm and Tim Brickley). See my review of the initial production here.

Before the “Pure Prine” return, though, the Phoenix still has to finish out the run of “Speech and Debate” and launch the Midwest premiere of Neil LaBute’s “Reasons to be Pretty.”

Your thoughts?

    Based on your previous commentary, we made it to Pure Prine and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tim Grimm and Jan Lucas-Grimm are such naturals and the others were quite enjoyable as well.

  1. These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

  2. The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

  3. As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

  4. The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

  5. I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
