Shows in Minneapolis

Children's Theatre Company is the largest professional theater for young audiences in America — a Minneapolis institution that won the Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre. CTC's extraordinary commitment to creating world-class theater for young audiences and its remarkable productions that regularly transfer to other major American regional theaters create a company of genuine national American theater significance.

Guthrie Theater is one of the most important theaters in America — a Minneapolis institution founded in 1963 by Tyrone Guthrie as the first major regional theater in America outside New York. The Guthrie's extraordinary "cantilevered bridge" building (its remarkable glass-enclosed bridge extends 178 feet over the Mississippi River) and its consistent production of the most important theatrical works of our time create a theater of genuine international theatrical significance.

Minneapolis Convention Center serves Minnesota's largest city with major convention and event programming in one of the Midwest's most active convention markets. Minneapolis's extraordinary business and corporate culture, driven by 19 Fortune 500 headquarters in the metro area, creates consistent demand for convention entertainment that complements the city's extraordinary cultural institutions.

Minnesota Orchestra is one of America's great orchestras — a Nicollet Mall institution performing in beautifully renovated Orchestra Hall with extraordinary acoustic quality. The Minnesota Orchestra's remarkable musical history (Antal Dorati's legendary recordings, Osmo Vänskä's acclaimed Beethoven series) and its extraordinary community engagement create a classical music experience of genuine national orchestral significance.

Orpheum Theatre is Minneapolis's most magnificent historic performance venue — a 1921 2,600-seat theater on Hennepin Avenue that is part of the Hennepin Theatre District's extraordinary concentration of restored 1920s movie palaces presenting Broadway touring productions. The district's three restored theaters (Orpheum, State, Pantages) create the most concentrated historic theater preservation achievement in the American Midwest.
