Songversations: we have been told this is unprecedented

Songversations doesn’t need to tell you that Election 2024 is upon us like a wet bathing suit, just so uncomfortable and our lady bits are really feeling it. Not in a good way. Why not join us on September 13-14 and express some healthy rage through ritual, story and song in your favorite bowling alley theater? Because no one knows anything anyway except that everything will have changed by then! Get the nachos!

Who are the women behind Songversations?

Shanan Custer, a seasoned player in the Twin Cities theater, sketch and improv scene, has been called a “clever and inventive voice in comic theater” but she would rather you not refer to her as a “comedienne” because that’s such a weird word. Renaissance woman Rhiannon Fiskradatz performs her own music as MaMa Faerie, other peoples' music as a vocalist-for-hire and as an actor & costumer in the Twin Cities theatre and dance scenes. After a few Zooms and a whole lotta faith, Shanan & Rhiannon brought their first episode to the BLB stage in 2022 and they are so excited to continue sharing their unique brand of storytelling and song with a growing audience.

Shanan Custer is a theater maker, writer, director and improviser who has worked with the Brave New Workshop, DalekoArts, Interact, Strike Theater, Theatre Pro Rata, HUGE Improv Theater, Special When Lit, The Mystery Café, Mu Performing Arts, Full Circle Theater, Park Square Theatre, and Theater in the Round. She is also part of the Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society, which you can also see at the BLB! When she’s not onstage she is teaching theater and acting at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul.

Rhiannon Fiskradatz is a multidisciplinary storyteller with a creative practice that spans theatre, music, puppetry, dance, circus & visual art. She writes & performs her own music as MaMa Faerie and covers a multitude of genres as a vocalist with The Argyle Street Trio & the Riff Rangers. In her capacity as a costume & accessory designer, she has worked with more than fifty professional, amateur, and educational organizations. She has an Upper Midwest Emmy, has been featured in Beadwork magazine, and was awarded the "Spirit Of Powderhorn" at the Powderhorn Art Fair.
