And I'm Cathy Wurzer. Here's a question for you... What does a play about a girl born with a kangaroo-like pouch... and one about Minnesota's first Chinese-American immigrant have to do with each other? Both are opening this weekend at theaters in Minneapolis and St. Paul. World premieres aren't unusual in Twin Cities theater -- local audiences can see new work on the largest stages... the smallest... and just about everywhere in between. Minnesota Public Radio arts commentator and St. Paul Pioneer Press theater critic Dominic Papatola is with us this morning to help explain why.
