2010 | BEST MUSICAL

The Guthrie's staging of Tony Kushner's volcanic, spiritually ambitious musical struck with explosive force, particularly the breakout performance of Greta Oglesby in the title role. It was, in a sense, a slight story revolving around change left in a boy's pocket and whether or not his family's maid should be allowed to keep it. But it rode currents of memory, loss, despair, and disenfranchisement that resulted in a passionate depiction of the soul's dark yearning. The cast was nothing less... More »
2010 | BEST MISSISSIPPI RIVER EXPERIENCE

It's hard not to love the Guthrie for its wonderful stage productions, but it's also a hotspot for sweeping views of the Mississippi River. The cantilevered bridge jutting out toward the river offers views of St. Anthony Falls and the Stone Arch Bridge, either from an indoor ramp off the fourth and fifth floors or an outside observation deck that is sure to put you in a romantic mood. Even if your play is on the main stage, it's well worth taking a trip up to the Dowling Studio on the ninth... More »
2009 | Best View

A great view is as much about the place you're sitting as it is the thing you're looking at. No place in the Twin Cities embodies that maxim more than the Endless Bridge at the Guthrie Theater. Erected when the new Guthrie went up in 2006, the bridge sticks out of the blue behemoth like a flagpole off a wall. Though it looks ugly from ground level, the observation deck is a place of peace, with clean, hard lines edged on all sides by shined metal. Looking over the Mississippi, with its lazy... More »
2008 | BEST NEW VIEW OF THE RIVERFRONT

Sure, the new Guthrie Theater's edifice may be a bit imposing, the interior a tad too dark, and the HAL-like voice that welcomes you to the theater more than a bit unnerving, but that's forgotten once you step outside onto the theater complex's signature "Endless Bridge." On warm evenings, it's packed with well-dressed theatergoers taking in a view of the Minneapolis riverfront. From here you can see far to the west and east, taking in not only the grand sweep of the Mississippi River but... More »

Hay Fever

By Brad Richason | Wed, March 14, 2012

Despite all of its faults, reality television does suggest at least one intriguing aspect of human nature: Given enough attention, we all have the potential to be insufferably egotistical exhibitionists. Such behavior didn't originate with Jersey ... More »
