Mileage will vary on this show, as Dame daDA (Nichole Hamilton) relies heavily on the audience to fuel her mix of storytelling, comedy and general observations on life at the edge of oblivion. Decked out in a red dress and red wig, daDA opens by giving birth to a baby doll — a non-gendered youth named ART(?) — and then moves through stories of being afraid of the dark, online dating, and a huge heaping of audience interaction. That includes being asked uncomfortable questions about middle-class privilege, or taking part in a game of … well, it would be best to experience that one for yourself. (8:30 p.m. Fri., 2:30 p.m. Sat., 7 p.m. Mon. & Wed., Ritz Theater Studio, 345 13th Av. NE., Mpls.)
