Jeune Lune After "The Explosion"

Minnesota Monthly's February issue features an article about Theatre de la Jeune Lune, a downtown mainstay that has fallen on hard times. The core Jeune Lune principals (Dominique Serrand, Barbara Berlovitz, Robert Rosen and Vincent Gracieux) fell out in what Berlovitz describes as an "explosion" over what writer Tim Gihring calls "personal and artistic tensions."

The article is quite light on what happened to cause the "explosion" and what the prospects are for Jeune Lune's continued survival. Having seen a number of shows there (and being a big fan of Barbara Berlovitz, who has recently been doing some small theater around town), I hope Jeune Lune gets things fixed and remains a fixture on the Minneapolis theater scene for many years to come.
