THE COMPANY
History Theatre entertains, educates, and inspires through creating, developing, and producing new and existing works that explore Minnesota’s past and the diverse American experience. Its work provides a unique lens which links our past to the present, explores our common heritage, and illuminates our understanding of what it means to be American. History Theatre is a three-time IVEY Award winning theater, and is recognized nationally as a leader in producing historical work.

THE ARTISTIC WORK
Each year History Theatre produces a season filled with excellent plays and musicals while developing new scripts through workshops and staged readings. Since 1978, the company has staged more than 100 world premieres, working with nationally recognized playwrights such as Jeffrey Hatcher, Kevin Kling, Craig Wright, Frank McCourt, Doris Baizley, Melanie Marnich, Kim Hines, John Olive, and Kira Obolensky. From a harrowing slave journey to St. Paul in Adrift on the Mississippi to an urban musical celebration of the Twin Cities in Snapshots: Life in the City, from the rock ’n’ roll biography Buddy—The Buddy Holly Story to the dark, complex A Piece of the Rope about Minnesota’s first public execution, History Theatre has moved audiences to rediscover, relive, and respect every piece of their history.
