While the main-stage productions draw most of the attention at Pillsbury House -- justifiably, as we'll see in a moment -- it's important to note how vital the other offerings are for the surrounding neighborhood and theater in general. Arts on Chicago and the Breaking Ice company tackle issues of race and class from the heart of south Minneapolis. The Late Nite Series brings together emerging theater artists and hot musicians for evenings that are more like a night at the club... More »
Marion McClinton's steady hand has been behind many terrific productions in the Twin Cities over the past several years. His work for Pillsbury House in the last year helped propel that company to our Best Theater award, but his work on many stages around the Twin Cities is the reason for this honor. Both Buzzer and The Brothers Size were three-way conversations that tackled tough issues from beginning to end. It's easy for plays about race relations (Buzzer) or family (Brothers Size) to...

Tarell Alvin McCraney's epic tale of lost opportunity and hope in Louisiana introduced a singular, modern voice to the Twin Cities theater scene and solidified Christiana Clark's position as a local theater heavyweight.

In the play, the first of a trilogy, Clark played a high school track star who chooses to stay in the Louisiana projects to be with her mother, but when... More »

Kimberly Joy Morgan's Hot Comb was a smart and compelling take on the political and social ramifications of African American women's hair, and The Story was a fast-paced and concise regional premiere about politics, racial and otherwise, in the contemporary newsroom. In the fall, Stephen D'Ambrose starred in An Almost Holy Picture, a monologue by a former priest who recalls... More »
With the possible exception of a musical version of The Odd Couple starring Donald Trump and Jesus Christ, any theatrical production is a financial risk. But staging a new script, in most cases, is an especially nail-biting affair for those in charge of budgets. Luckily, the Twin Cities has a number of theater troupes that fearlessly bring us new work. With its regular readings and world premieres, the Playwrights' Center deserves plaudits for developing new writers and working with... More »
