Created and performed by Kimberly and Sara Richardson
(NAHZ-drah-ker) The imaginative lives of two quiet ladies. Teacups triumph, aliens say beep and mermaids shop in the produce aisle. A mishmash of clown, movement and object theatre, where everything is funny, even the sad.
The Nosdrahcir Sisters premiered at the 2008 Minnesota Fringe Festival in a nearly sold-out run before continuing on to the 2008 NY Clown Theatre Festival in Brooklyn.

“The Nosdrahcir Sisters” were the breath of fresh air of the evening shows. They were original, incorporated many of their personal talents and training. The music they used, which is often used as a crutch in many other shows “The Nosdrahcir Sisters” used very well. The dance moments of the show were refreshing and add and developed their characters moving their story and show to a higher theatrical level. The elderly lady dance you have to see. Some of the dances did not even look like dance they were incorporated into the show so well. There costume elements and quick changes in the show were fun. If you want a lesson in how to use props well see “The Nosdrahcir Sisters”. They used everything on stage and more than once all in their own style and some objects for totally different theatrical reasons. Many moments in the show touched me. The working relationships between them was excellent and I look forwards to seeing what these two do in the future. Kimberly Richardson earned a BFA in Modern Dance from University of Utah and Sara Richardson was trained at Sarah Lawrence College in NY and at Ecole Jacque Lecoq in Paris, France.
These two wonderful performers are also in “Bury My Heart At Dumbass Cowboy” Saturday September 20th at 4 PM and Sunday September 21st at 7:30 PM.
“The Nosdrahcir Sisters” have two more shows Friday September 19 at 7 PM and Saturday September 20 at 6 PM

Audiences said:
“…cute, endearing, quirky, touching, hilarious, odd, and smart.”
“Pure joy”
“Richardson = Awesome!”
“So cute I just wanna bash something!”
“…a fun hour of inspired strangeness.”
“…I left the theatre singing…”
“…one of the great joys of this year's fringe.”
“This show was so freakin' delightful…There's something really enjoyable about watching people (or characters) truly enjoy themselves even when you think what they're doing is weird.” - Erica Mauter, Minneapolis Metblogs
“What starts off as a series of goofy sketches of physical humor and quirky personalities actually develops into a heartwarming show about people's interconnectedness. Both funny and poignant, but be warned: it leaves you with the desire to go grocery shopping dressed as a pirate.” – Audience member
“The Nosdrahcir Sisters is a big-hearted show, not tearjerker; and yet it offers plenty of sobering observations—so clear-eyed and familiar— that will leave you a little wistful all the same.”- Christy DeSmith, MNArtists
“This show made me really happy. Like a kid on Christmas. See it, see it, see it. I might go see it again.” – Audience member
