Really Spicy Opera is proud to announce that its 2017 run of A Pickle by Deborah Yarchun has completely sold out its entire run. This 1-woman show about prejudice, ignorance, and the Minnesota State Fair stars Angela Timberman and plays through August 12.

A Pickle‘s world premiere at the Minnesota Fringe Festival sold out within minutes of the box office opening, with the rest of the performances selling out overnight. It is the fastest-selling production of the 2017 Minnesota Fringe Festival.

Critics and audiences agree: Really Spicy Opera’s production of A Pickle is a hit! This play by Deborah Yarchun is the first show at the 2017 Minnesota Fringe Festival to sell out twice, with a sold-out opening and its second performance entirely sold out in advance.

Critics have been unanimous in praising the production. The Twin Cities Arts Reader praised Angela Timberman’s performance, calling her “one of the best comedic actresses in the Twin Cities…in full form with excellent comic timing…this beautifully lit comedy goes deep and comes out ahead.” The Star Tribune agreed, noting, “the show talks prejudice without being preachy, and the comedic dialogue is impressively colorful. Actress Angela Timberman positively shines in her one-hour monologue, never slowing for a minute.”
