Elemeno Pea

Mixed Blood Theatre
1501 S 4th Street Minneapolis

Blue collar meets upper crust with panache and pedal-to-the-metal intensity in Molly Smith Metzler’s culture clash comedy of bad manners. In this rapid-fire caustic social satire, two sisters square off with a wealthy trophy wife employer, unleashing secret truths that show how significant moments can launch or derail a life. Transitioning fluidly from hilarity to poignancy, this hearty class system stew connects the head, heart, and funny bone in one audacious sweep.

  Elemeno Pea Reviews

Star Tribune - Highly Recommended

"...Director Valdez has a sterling cast. Price gives an effortless performance that takes Michaela from an alienating figure to someone who deserves our sympathy. She walks us through her misunderstood character with authority."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Somewhat Recommended

"...There are a lot of lies and betrayal in the story -- with a surprising truth as the lynchpin that is meant to change the way the audience sees the characters. But director Mark Valdez's production doesn't wrangle all of the elements into the cohesive vision needed to give the theme satisfying clarity and force."

How Was The Show - Recommended

"...As Devon, Sun Mee Chomet carries the play, never letting up on the other characters. She refuses to be awed by all the wealth around her and conducts herself with a spunky new self-reliance. She has, despite her shortcomings (she's ungrateful, foul-mouthed, brassy), genuine integrity and we love her for it. Of all the characters, Devon changes the most dramatically and Chomet plays all this beautifully and with building passion."

Aisle Say Twin Cities - Somewhat Recommended

"...In a script that does not provide a perfectly smooth logic to the development, it would be left to the production to induce a credible transformation and subtly lay foundation to the new registers of behavior. It is our good fortune that under the direction of Mark Valdez, the cast delivers a poignant and provocative performance, depicting the effect of new realizations. And then, some characters will make new decisions that are, yet again, based on illusion and sad misjudgment; others will face the truth and ready themselves to pay the price that self-knowledge levies on us. This discrete transformation is crystallized in Laurine Price's portrayal of Michaela. Price performs the grotesque extremes of her character with a sensitivity that humanizes her errors and helps us appreciate the dilemmas that cut across all man-made categories."
