Guthrie Theater

Backstage tours offer a behind-the-scenes look at how Guthrie shows are taken from script to stage. In 45 minutes, you'll visit the Guthrie's signature thrust and proscenium stages; enter the expansive scene shop where sets are built and painted, and learn how they're transported to each stage; visit the shop where costumes are expertly stitched, fabrics dyed and wigs constructed; and explore the rehearsal rooms where company members prepare for performance.

Backstage tours are scheduled Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. and after select weekend matinees. $10 per person; $6 for subscribers, students and seniors. Call the Box Office at 612.377.2224 or order online.

Additional tours may be scheduled for groups of 20 or more; advance reservations are required by calling 612.225.6240.
