THEATER AND MUSIC
With more than 100 theater venues and more theater seats per capita than
any other U.S. city outside New York, the Minneapolis theater scene is
booming. From cozy playhouses to majestic 3,000-seat theaters, more than
30 venues
offer a wide selection of performance styles:
The State, Orpheum and Pantages
Theatres play host to Broadway productions.
Companies
such as Theatre de la Jeune Lune, Hennepin Stages, Music Box Theatre
and the Brave New Workshop provide and innovative and off-beat
twist.
And with the Minnesota Orchestra, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and Minnesota
Opera, Minneapolis boasts musical groups that are the envy of larger cities.
ARTS EXPLOSION INSTITUTIONS
The
Children’s
Theatre Company (CTC)
Since 1965, CTC has created extraordinary theater experiences that educate,
challenge and inspire young people. In 2003, CTC was the first theater for
young people to receive the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre.
A 45,000-square-foot expansion includes an education wing, rehearsal space,
production shops and a second stage with programming primarily for preschoolers
and teens. Tip: The Children’s Theatre Company is located right next
to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA).
Teresa Eyring, Children’s Theatre Company managing director: "Michael
Graves and Associates have done a masterful job of balancing the design
needs of CTC along with those of the campus, the neighborhood and the
MIA."
Guthrie Theater
A national theater arts and education center, the Guthrie Theater will
open a new signature home on the Mississippi River. A mix of three
unique spaces: 1,100-seat auditorium for classical works, 700-seat
proscenium stage for contemporary productions and 250-seat studio theater
for
emerging
artists – plus rehearsal and education facilities ready to embrace
a diverse range of dramatic work. Tip: The Guthrie is
located right next to the Walker Art Center (until the Guthrie moves
to its new home in June 2006).
Joe Dowling, Guthrie Theater artistic director: “When completed,
the new Guthrie Theater will not only continue to attract the world’s
greatest theater artists, but many thousands of visitors who will celebrate
Minnesota as a world-class destination.”
