Guthrie Theater banners are strung up between buildings and extend the length of a Minneapolis street in the 1960s.

History of the Guthrie

The Guthrie Theater opened on May 7, 1963, to a fanfare of excitement throughout the theatrical world. Why did Sir Tyrone Guthrie, arguably the most celebrated theater director at the time, want to establish a major theater outside of Broadway? Why did he choose the Twin Cities? Join us to learn about the rich heritage of America’s flagship regional theater. Prices start at $250 with a 10-person minimum.

Post-Play Discussion

Join a Guthrie staff member or panel to discuss the play after you’ve seen it! Learn about the behind-the-scenes process of making theater, ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of the themes of the play. Prices start at $250 with a 10-person minimum.
