What artistic director Jack Reuler has done at Mixed Blood is commendable. In the past couple of seasons, the firehouse theater has been transformed into a restaurant for a Mu Performing Arts show and a strip club for a new Katori Hall play. This spring, it became a Latin nightclub for an engaging anthology of shorts called "DJ Latinidad." Above all, the attitude of the folks at Mixed Blood — who will do whatever it takes to deliver the audience into the world of its plays — makes things a little unpredictable and a lot exciting. 1501 S. 4th St., Mpls., 612-338-6131, mixedblood.com
