Zamboni’s relocates

Park Square Theatre has funding to raise its curtain in 2024

Expands seating tenfold

Jake Spitzack Staff Writer

hen restaurateur Greg Awada threw his name into the mix of businesses vying for the vacant Eagle Street Grille space at West Seventh and Kellogg, he thought he had little chance of getting it over a national chain. To his surprise, he was awarded the lease for the coveted spot across from the Xcel Energy Center. Now he’s busy putting the final touches on the space so his restaurant can move there and reopen by Dec. 1. Not that they have far to go. Awada and wife Kristi Brunner have operated Zamboni’s restaurant in the building next door to their new space for 13 years. It’s known as a popular eatery for event-goers from the X looking to enjoy a hot slice of pizza or melty cheesesteak. “The whole name of the game on West Seventh is to have enough space and seats to capture as much business on events as possible and we’ve never had that,” said Awada, who noted that the old pizzeria seated only about 40. They are retaining the old space and plan to eventually reopen it as a new concept. Awada has a new partner in this venture: Tim Mahoney, who owns the Loon Café in Minneapolis and St. Paul and has about 35 years’ experience in the industry. Zamboni’s will now be able to seat 350 inside Zamboni’s / Page 2

eartwarming and cheer-inducing events abound this month, unleashing the magic of the holiday season and uniting neighbors across the city. Our annual Holiday Event Guide helps you discover the perfect events to sprinkle into your schedule and make the most of the holiday season. The celebration begins here.

GLOW Holiday Festival - CHS Field is transformed into a winter wonderland through December 31. The GLOW festival features more than a million lights, a 60-foot-tall tree, Charity Flame, and much more. Visitors can hang out at sElfie Plaza, meet Santa, enjoy a 150-foot tube slide and 300-foot zipline, play on the Penguin Playground, navigate the Holiday events / Page 5

hanks to a recent $650,000 fundraising campaign, Park Square Theatre will resume performances in 2024 and its board of directors have some breathing room to create a new strategic plan to guide future operations. Last spring, the theater was forced to drop its red curtain midway through its season due to a major budget shortfall resulting from increased operating costs and decreased ticket sales following the COVID-19 pandemic. Its board of directors promptly worked with consultants to assess the theater’s budget and create a plan that would make it possible to return to the stage. That plan called for the fundraising campaign and creation of a new strategic plan. “Our full season of plays and a musical will begin September 2024 through June 2025,” said Stephen DiMenna, Park Square’s newly hired executive artistic director. “Those plays are still under consideration. We hope to announce them in early Spring. We will do a Summer 2024 production of Jeff Hatcher and Steve Hendrickson’s world premiere mystery play Holmes/Perot.” DiMenna added that the season is contingent on future fundraising efforts. The new season will likely feature a few productions by Park Square Theatre as well as some produced by other organizations. Park Square

Stand-up comedy scene brings big laughs west of the river Patrick Strait Contributor

t’s Friday night and a packed crowd is in stitches for comedian Maggie Faris. This isn’t surprising. Faris is one of the funniest comedians in the Twin Cities, and the audience is hanging on her every word. What may be a surprise, however, is that the show is happening right

in the heart of downtown St. Paul at Laugh Camp Comedy Club. For years, St. Paul has been the best kept secret in Twin Cities comedy. From legends like Louie Anderson and Josh Blue – St. Paul natives who always made it a point to return to their hometown – to a new generation of comics, clubs and open mics, St. Paul has always had an amazing com-

edy scene, and it’s having a bigger resurgence than ever. Bill Collins has owned Camp Bar on Robert Street for more than 15 years. Originally, the club focused mostly on drag and cabaret shows. But when Joke Joint Comedy Club, which had established itself as the Aclub of St. Paul since 2007, closed shop five years ago, Collins decided to pick up the torch with the rebranded

Laugh Camp. “Stand-up always did well at the club, and it motivated us to start doing it full-time,” said Collins. “Now we have comedy fans who are regulars at the club. There are faces I see almost every week. Those people are golden to us.” In addition to bringing in local favorites like Faris, Robert Baril, Jeff Pfoser and others, Laugh Camp has

been bringing in national headliners every weekend, showing off the quality of comedy St. Paul locals can see in their own neighborhood. “We’re investing in bringing in those headliners not to make money, but in hopes of drawing in new people and exposing them to the club,” said Collins. Now, Laugh Camp is preparing for an expansion

that will increase capacity and make way for even more marquee names to see what makes St. Paul great. “Whenever the comics working the show say, ‘Thanks for supporting live comedy in downtown St. Paul,’ it always gets applause,” said Collins. “We’re not just thankful to have the audience; they’re thankful to Comedy scene / Page 4

will continue to offer classes and camps to bring in extra revenue and recently hired a consultant to analyze and manage the theater’s finances moving forward. Park Square is also introducing a new series called Live at the Square, featuring performances and social events such as concerts by some of the Twin Cities’ most acclaimed singers and

musicians, literary events, children and family events, comedy and more. The inaugural performance, Holiday Hot Chocolate, will be December 15 and 16 featuring acclaimed jazz singers T. Mychael Rambo and Thomasina Petrus. “We want people to come to Park Square for more than just seeing a play,” said DiMenna. “We want them to

and 65 on the patio. Work has been done to accentuate the 150-year-old building’s brick walls and wooden floors, as well as make necessary repairs to aging infrastructure. Construction has included doubling the size of the kitchen and moving the bar to a more central location. Chili and some popular sandwiches from the Loon Café will be added to the menu, which boasts thincrust pizzas, Philly chees-

esteaks, gyros and more. “We have a pizza called Rosemary the Italian Blonde and that’s been a ‘go to’ ever since we opened,” said Awada. “It’s a cream sauce with fresh garlic, sausage and roasted red peppers, and fresh rosemary on top.” They’re considering adding live entertainment at some point. “We have a license for it,” Awada said, “so I imagine we’ll do something but for

see Park Square as a place to hang with friends after work during the week to have a drink in our bar, have dinner at the Loon or Meritage and walk across the hall to see a jazz concert or comedy show then come back on the weekend to see high-quality productions of contemporary plays and musicals.” Although the theater didn’t put on its final three shows this year, it did welcome more than 500 students to its SteppingStone summer camps and even offered a

pay-as-you’re-able option for those camps. Park Square’s educational program merged with SteppingStone in 2020 to form SteppingStone Creative Learning, which offers educational programming and youth outreach opportunities. Aside from summer camps and classes for youth, it organizes adult workshops and events. Park Square Theatre was founded by Paul Mathey and opened in 1975 as an 80-seat theater in the Park Square Court building. It moved

now we’re just focusing on getting open and settling in before we add the whipped cream and cherry to the top.” Awada has no shortage of experience in the restaurant industry. His family owned Awada’s on Plato for nearly 30 years and Awada’s Woodbury Grille for seven years. He started dishwashing and prepping food at his father’s restaurant, Bentley’s, in Colorado at age 11, and always planned to follow in his parents’ footsteps and one day own his own restaurant. He played collegiate hockey and

earned the nickname “Zamboni” because of how often he fell and slid across the ice on his belly. He decided to lean into the joke and use that name for his restaurant. It’s fitting, since he’s located near the X, home ice to the Minnesota Wild. The new Zamboni’s is located at 174 7th St. W.

{ THE FULLER FILES } The St. Paul City Council will hold its truth in taxation hearing at 6 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 5, and adopt its 2024 budget at its December 6 meeting. The preliminary budget is $820.5 million, which is $19.4 million more than 2023. The increase is primarily due to rising costs of wages and benefits due to inflation. If approved as is, the owner of a median valued home of $270,000 will actually pay $48 less than 2023 due to an increase in local government aid. For more information, visit stpaul.gov and search “2024 budget.” St. Paul has been named one of 31 technical hubs by the Biden administration to help increase innovation in artificial intelligence, precision medicine and clean energy. The Minnesota MedTech 3.0 hub will be led by the Minneapolis St. Paul Regional Economic Development Partnership. Other partners include medical device manufacturers, state agencies, venture capital

firms, research centers and hospitals. St. Paul has removed its zoning categories for single family housing, which date to 1975. The change is intended to increase housing affordability and options. The code now allows duplexes and small apartments buildings in areas previously restricted to single family homes. Two new districts have been created. One allows a maximum of four units per lot and the other, which is located near a rapid transit route, allows five per lot. Minnesota Sinfonia will close in January 2025 after providing free classical music concerts in the metro area for 35 years. Jay Fishman established the group in 1989 to provide free concerts to underserved and low-income communities. The Sinfonia performed up to 60 concerts each year, many of which were held in schools. It will perform its usual classical concert series in 2024 and hold farewell

concerts next fall. Walker West Music Academy received a $4 million donation from Patricia and Gary Sauer of the Sauer Family Foundation to purchase a 16,000-square-foot building at 650 Marshall Ave. and redesign it to include a larger performance hall, rehearsal space, recording studios, digital labs and instrument storage. The Academy was founded in 1988 by the Rev. Carl Walker to be a community music school serving young Black musicians. The cost of renovating the Governor’s Residence on Summit Avenue has increased from $7.1 million to $12.8 million. The Minnesota Department of Administration said the increase was due to higher-thanexpected bids to replace the heating and air conditioning, ventilation, plumbing and electrical systems. The 111-year-old Tudor mansion was donated to the state. Gov. Tim Walz and his family will live at the East-

cliff estate until the project is finished next fall. Eastcliff is normally home to the president of the University of Minnesota. The U is now searching for its next leader. The 170-year-old Justus Ramsey house has found a new home at the Minnesota Transportation Museum at Jackson Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. The home was formerly located on Walnut Street near the patio of Burger Moe’s restaurant. The house was disassembled and placed in storage because a wall partially collapsed. The museum will reassemble the house, a place where African American railroad workers lived. The house was first owned by a brother of Gov. Alexander Ramsey. The Lazarus Crowe Hourglass Café and Bar has opened in the former Wulff Godbout funeral home at 560 W. 7th St. It offers flatbreads, grilled sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, roasted vegetables and more. Ten inpatient beds at United Hospital in St. Paul have been moved to Abbott Northwestern Hospital by Allina Health Services,

which owns both hospitals. United Hospital’s Milton M. Hurwitz ExerCare fitness center on Walnut Street has been closed to cut costs.

have comedy in downtown St. Paul.”

Mid-week laughs While Laugh Camp may be the premier destination for major league comedy in St. Paul, a new generation of comics are cutting their teeth at smaller shows popping up all over town. Every Wednesday, Elise Cole hosts a comedy open mic at Can Can Wonderland, appropriately called, “Yes I Can Can.” “We’ve been doing the open mic for the past two years, and we started getting people right away,” said Cole. “The cool thing is that we have an audience. There are people who see the ads at Can Can and come out specifically to watch the comedy show, and every week the audience gets a little bit larger.” Cole, who initially got her start in comedy after performing at the Moth Story Slam at Amsterdam Bar and Hall years ago, said she set out to create the open mic night at Can Can not just for audiences looking for mid-week laughs, but for

aspiring comics working on their craft. “I try to create an environment that is really supportive of people who want to try comedy for the first time,” she said. “If you have ever thought about trying stand-up, this is a place you should try it at. People who have never done comedy in their lives will get up and do three minutes, and it’s really fun to see.” The show itself has become a destination for comics from all over the Twin Cities, attracting a blend of comedy newbies and seasoned pros. “It’s really the only real open mic happening on a Wednesday, plus Can Can is so great and lets us give a drink ticket to anyone who signs up. So, it’s become a fun show, plus a great place for networking and hanging out with other comics. It’s just a good hang.”

Workshop of laughs Another comedy hang happening on Wednesdays in St. Paul is over at Papa

Your community news and information source Legba’s Lounge, where comedian Julie Bane hosts a comedy workshop that is free and open to comics of all experiences. “It’s a great opportunity for people to come work on jokes, or even just practice being in front of a microphone for the very first time,” said Bane. Though she’s only been hosting the workshop at Papa Legba’s since this past summer, Bane is no stranger to teaching comedy in St. Paul. For seven years she ran the comedy workshop and open mic at Joke Joint, helping to develop a unique option for audiences and comics alike. “Seeing comedy in St. Paul is different,” she said. “It’s more of a neighborhood feel. People come out just to see a comedy show, as opposed to coming to see a specific comic. Plus, you know you don’t have to worry about parking, it’s easier to drive to. It’s just a different atmosphere.” Bane said she was excited when Papa Legba’s reached out about continuing the workshop she had been responsible for at Joke Joint years prior, because comedy

From Left to right: Ali Hormann, Aron Woldeslassie, Jesse the Shrink, Nate Hood, Maggie Faris, Jeff Pfoser, Elise Cole, Tiffany Norton, Robert Baril. has been such an important presence in St. Paul. “There is definitely an audience that prefers the clubs in St. Paul over Minneapolis,” said Bane. “When Joke Joint closed I was sad because it’s where I spent so much of my time, and there were plenty of comics who were very loyal to that club.” With her workshop, the weekly show at Can Can

and the national talent coming through Laugh Camp, Bane said she feels St. Paul has returned to its previous comedy glory. “There are a lot of great options popping up in St. Paul,” she said. “It’s great to give audiences more options. Some people wonder if it creates competition, but I think any chance for people to get out and see live com-

edy nearby is a great thing. It’s great for the comics, great for the audiences, and great for St. Paul.” Patrick Strait is author of “Funny Thing About Minnesota,” from the Minnesota Historical Society Press. The book explores the history of stand-up comedy in Minnesota, from its origins in the 1970s through early 2000s.

Postscript

A Thanksgiving Prayer I have always liked Thanksgiving. I know its origins are dubious. I cringe a little when I think about the construction paper American Indian costumes and the happy story I learned as a child about that first Thanksgiving. I cringe a little more when I read about people missing their holiday meal so they can work at retail jobs where customers trample one another at the store’s entrance to get in and buy things. I don’t understand this, I must confess. I have never been in such a hurry to buy anything in my life. But even if the mythology of Thanksgiving is a little suspect and the current traditions can be a little crass, I like Thanksgiving because I cannot dislike a day dedicated to feeling thankful. My first Thanksgivings were spent at the farmhouse where my mother grew up. If I had to put my finger on the moment that made it Thanksgiving, I would say it happened in the stillness

– after all the food had been piled onto the big dining room table, and grandma (for just a moment) had her apron off, and the cousins (for just a moment) had been herded together into some sort of group, and everyone (for the one and only time all day) had fallen more or less quiet. Then we would sing the blessing. My mother’s family had a lot of good singers in it, sisters who played the piano and sang harmony in church. And so someone, an aunt I am sure, would begin: “Be present at our table, Lord.” We didn’t ask for help, or intercession or forgiveness. We just asked the God we believed in to be

there with us. “Be here and everywhere adored.” And not just with us. We asked for God’s presence to be everywhere it was welcomed. “These mercies bless and grant that we...” We asked for all this abundance to be blessed – everything on our table and in our hearts, and everyone standing there beside us, singing in the farmhouse. Then, in my family, we concluded: “May strengthened for Thy service be.” I have since learned there are several ways to finish this prayer. The more common ending is: “May live in fellowship with Thee.” Some families sing, “May feast in Paradise with Thee.” But my mother’s family was a Swedish farming family, and we asked for strength to keep on working. Feasting in Paradise might have been fine for some, but that was a little more than any of us could imagine. Asking for strength so we could keep on doing what we had been doing seemed like a pretty safe bet and, perhaps, not too much to ask. Then we sang “Amen,” and we ate. There were many more people than chairs, so the cousins sat on the stair-

way, and the aunts squeezed side by side on the couch, and some uncles ate standing up – despite my grandmother’s repeated warnings that this would lead to fat feet. And the table would be filled with enough pies to nearly cover its surface, served with whipped cream and weak coffee. And a cold wind would rattle the last stubborn leaves hanging on the trees, reminding us that colder days were ahead.

And so, even though I am many miles away from my family and years away from that farmhouse, I am going to sing today. “Be present at our table, Lord, Be here and everywhere adored.
