Don't let Favre Fever keep you from getting to the Guthrie Theater! The Vikings have a preseason game on Saturday, August 28 and parking will be a challenge.

The Guthrie announced today that it will host two special post-play discussions of The Scottsboro Boys, the critically-acclaimed production currently playing to nightly ovations on the McGuire Proscenium Stage at the Guthrie. Based on the notorious "Scottsboro" case in the 1930s, in which nine African American men were unjustly accused of a terrible crime.

It was an experiment of sorts. On Monday night, the Twin Cities' most prestigious playhouse and its music booker, Sue McLean, scheduled the first major hip-hop act on the Guthrie Theater's main stage. Which raised the question: What is audience etiquette for a rap show set inside an A-list theater? Do you sit? Do you stand? After all, this is the stage where Ian McKellen performed "King Lear" and Tony Kushner debuted his most recent play.
