Guthrie Theater

GOING LIVE! is a satirical look at what's current in our lives: an exploration of how media and technology infiltrate our humanity, turning truth on its heels and causing absurd chaos in our world. Nowadays anything can happen: lies become truth, sinners become stars, and whether we like it or not, we the people are the consumers and spectators of it all. Do we live in a world of hyper-informed citizens and techno junkies, or are we gradually becoming media zombies?

This production contains strong language. 

2 hours 15 minutes including intermission


ABOUT A GUTHRIE EXPERIENCE
Sixteen years ago, Artistic Director Joe Dowling created a new department at the Guthrie, Company Development, to create and oversee programs designed to develop and nurture relationships with young actors. Within that first year, A Guthrie Experience for Actors in Training made its debut and almost immediately began to bear the fruits of our efforts as alumni of the program began to appear in Guthrie productions. A Guthrie Experience quickly developed into a major program in this new department.

The objectives of A Guthrie Experience are to provoke and challenge the talents of the participants through various training workshops, discussions and individual working sessions to introduce young actors to the Guthrie and the Twin Cities and to help build a bridge between training and the profession. Our hope is that after the young artists return to their final year of training at their respective institutions and enter their professional careers, they will retain their relationship with the Guthrie and seek to spend some portions of their career here in the Twin Cities with us on our stages (and/or in other capacities) and on other stages of American Theater. 


Programming in the Dowling Studio is sponsored by Travelers, Digital River and RBC Wealth Management.
