Guthrie Theater

Welcome to Peer Gynt Trivia Contest!

This contest is part of Big Blue Blog posting for our 4th week of performances, so it's open to the cast and crew as well as all who read the Blog at http://www.guthrietheater.org/.

Feel free to send your friends and family who may have seen the show (or not) to the website to try their luck.

Please answer each question. If you don't know the answer, GO FIND OUT! Ask around. If all else fails, go ahead and guess!

Coco is only allowed to answer one question per person, since she has all the answers. (Well, for the trivia at least!)

Actors and Crew: please return your completed form (or email) to Coco by the Places call on Thursday, February 21st. For fans of the Blog, that means 7:30 p.m. and you can send your answers to blog@guthrietheater.org.

If you return it before the end of the show this Sunday, the 17th you will earn one extra bonus point!

Melodie Bahan, our wonderful Director of Communications, will generously provide prizes for the top 3 scores.
