Must See Minneapolis: the Guthrie Theater
Home buyers often consider a neighborhood's amenities when choosing a community. Finding activities you enjoy is essential because even though you love your home, you won't want to spend every single minute there. If you are searching for Minneapolis homes for sale, you probably already know about the number of things to do in our city. One location you won't want to miss is the Guthrie Theater.
About the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis
Sir Tyrone Guthrie founded Guthrie Theater and opened its doors on May 7, 1963. The idea was to be an alternative to Broadway. Guthrie did not feel Broadway was the best environment to stimulate and inspire audiences or for actors. This concept was an innovative idea for the time.
Consequently, a resident acting company performed a repertoire of classic literature at the Guthrie Theater. Many regard the founding of the theater as the start of the not for profit theater movement. Today, the award-winning Guthrie Theater continues to be one of the most respected and influential theaters in the entire nation.
The beautiful Guthrie Theater complex is located in downtown right along the Mississippi River, in the historic Mill District. The theater has three stages so that they can accommodate a wide variety of shows and audience sizes. The Theater presents both classic and contemporary works, so there's something for everyone's taste. Shows run all year, with a variety of dates and times available, so fitting an afternoon or evening out at the theater into your schedule is easy. While you're there, why not meet up with friends for coffee or a meal? There's an express café if you want a coffee or a sandwich, casual dining with a seasonal menu of comfort food at the Level Five Café, or you can opt for sustainable seafood at Sea Change. There's also shopping at the Guthrie Store and stunning views of the Mississippi River from the Endless Bridge.
Seeing a show isn't the only thing to do at the Guthrie Theater. Designed as a resource for the community, the commitment to Minneapolis doesn't stop at providing a quality theater experience. There are children's matinees and educational programs for school-age kids, workshops and camps, adult theater and dance classes for all levels, and even courses for business professionals designed for team building teaching presentation skills and enhancing your creative process.
If a wedding, conference, or corporate event is in your future, the Guthrie Theater is the perfect venue. The Guthrie's unique space with in-house catering can be made available to host your event.
