'Revolving Stage' tells the story of the late Twin Cities actor Phil Kilbourne

When Twin Cities actor Phil Kilbourne (pictured) died in 2013 at 61, he left an unfinished biography of his life as an essayer of both comic and tragic roles. His widow, actor and writer Marysue Moses, has finished the play under the mentorship of playwright Jeffrey Hatcher. Director Joel Sass does a bare-bones staging to kick off the show at the Illusion Theater's annual Fresh Ink workshop series. Described as a tragic-comic chronicle of Kilbourne's life, the work features actors Jim Lichtscheidl, Laura Esping and Garry Geiken. (8 p.m. Fri.-Sat., 7 p.m. Sun., Illusion Theater, 528 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $15-$20. 612-339-4944 or illusiontheater.org.)
