Theatre in the Round Theatre in the Round offers up Sam Shepard s play about a millionaire horse breeder and a southern California barfly. The two are old friends, and a 15-year-old scam they pulled together threatens to come back to haunt them. It s got the standard Shepard intensity and humor, as well as that peculiar sense of dead-end impossibility that his best works evoke.
The theater also comes in for kudos for running things without a visible hitch after August storm damage to its building (this is the second show of the season), keeping the lights on in one of the Twin Cities most venerable venues.
