Underneath the Lintel (Or the Mystery of the Abandoned Trousers)
with Saved by the Bell actor Patrick O’Brien
Saturday, Feb 11 at 7:30pm and Sunday Feb 12 at 2pm
Underneath the Lintel, is about a befuddled Dutch librarian in search of a piece of the past. It’s a tale of disillusionment and mystery as Patrick O’Brien’s reclusive librarian embarks on a hilarious and heartfelt quest to discover the story behind a library book that was returned 123 years overdue. Though masked by humor and witty sarcasm, the journey ultimately unravels the forlorn depths of this own mind, revealing internal conflicts and the flaws of the human heart. The production starring O’Brien debuted at the Minneapolis Mixed Blood Theatre in 2009 to enthusiastic audiences and was reviewed with utmost praise following performances at the Jungle Theatre during the Minnesota Fringe Festival. Whether you know him as Mr. Dewey on Saved by the Bell or from his appearances on dozens of other TV shows (including Monk, West Wing, ER, Married with Children, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch) and movies such as Catch Me if You Can and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Patrick O’Brien has enjoyed a prolific acting career – and he grew up right next door in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
