Kevin Kling in new show at Guthrie

October 23, 2009

LISTEN

The Guthrie Theater's smallest stage will be packed with more than 70 performers this weekend for the North American premiere of Minnesota playwright Kevin Kling's new musical.

"Northern Lights/Southern Cross" features Native American dancers, a gospel choir, an aboriginal Australian storyteller and even a Djiridou.

Kling stars in the show, which is based in part on the 2001 motorcycle accident that nearly killed him and paralyzed his arm.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Kling.
