Monster Science First Thursdays returns to the Bryant-Lake Bowl with “Music of Monsters of Music!” It’s an evening of hilarious and factual presentations by the award-winning Reverend Matt’s Monster Science on the subject of mythical monsters from around the world with musical themes - from Russian sirens to Japanese animated instruments, and much more besides! And each monster is accompanied by an original song, written and performed by the astonishing Irene Weinhagen! It is almost too much entertainment!
Reverend Matt – once called a combination of David Attenborough and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark in MPR – played by local comedian Matthew Kessen, is the star of “Reverend Matt’s Monster Science” (‘part science, part comedy, all monsters’), a multimedia series of deep studies of the lore of monsters, infused with comedy jokes. It has won Best Solo Show at the Tucson Fringe Festival twice, and Best of Minnesota at the 2020 MN Webfest. And it’s been called “effective, educational, funny, moving” by Cherry and Spoon, and Single White Fringe Geek said of it, “I could not stop grinning the whole time Rev. Matt was talking.”
Irene Weinhagen is an actor, singer/songwriter and student at St. Paul Conservatory of Performing Arts. Irene has performed with Comedy Suitcase, Steppingstone Theater, Twin Cities Horror Festival, Minnesota Fringe Festival and other venues around the Twin Cities. Irene’s debut album "Do Better" is available on all streaming platforms.
