From Broadway to the mighty Mississippi
The Guthrie Theater opened on May 7, 1963, with a production of Hamlet directed by Sir Tyrone Guthrie, the theater’s founder. The idea for a different kind of theater sparked in 1959 during a series of conversations among Guthrie, an acclaimed theater director, and his two colleagues, Oliver Rea and Peter Zeisler, who were all disenchanted with Broadway. They envisioned a resident theater that would draw world-class artists to perform the classics with the highest professional standards.
What began as a summer season of four productions supported by a minimal staff is now a complex organization that serves the community and region year-round.
A newsworthy opening
Step back in time with this series of historical footage from the Guthrie's opening in 1963, which made national news and garnered praise from the press:
- LIFE magazine called the theater “a miracle”
- Newsweek said it was “conceivably the most important theater opening of a generation”
- The New York Times declared the theater “a cause for celebration”
