GUTHRIE THEATRE

| BUY Minnesota Guthrie Theatre TICKETS NOW! |
The Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, Minnesota is a nationally acclaimed venue and Tony Award winner. The theatre is a unique venue for staging plays and is the result of Sir Tyrone Guthrie's desire for a new kind of theater that would provide an atmosphere which would encourage the production of great works of literature and cultivate actors' talents away from the more commercial environment of Broadway.
The Guthrie Theater has performed in two main-stage facilities. The former building was designed by architect Ralph Rapson and was active from 1963-2006. After relocating, the Guthrie now finds its home in the work of French architect Jean Nouvel's design. It is a 255,000 square foot facility that replicates the former theater's signature thrust stage and includes a new 1,100-seat auditorium, 700-seat proscenium stage, 250-seat studio theater, new classrooms and food service.
Even with the brand new digs, the Guthrie Theatre, now at 818 South Second Street in Minneapolis, is filled with history and tradition. Along with the Guthrie's innovative production philosophy, the theater itself gained a lot of attention by the unique style.
The original Guthrie Theatre opened on May 7, 1963 with a production of Hamlet directed by Sir Tyrone Guthrie, the theatre's founder. Since it's opening, the Guthrie has performed such great works as Henry V, The House of Atreus, Oedipus the King, A Streetcar Named Desire, The Taming of the Shrew, The Marriage of Figaro and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
While the Guthrie Theatre's mission and artistic excellence have remained constant, much has changed over the past four decades. The theatre opened with 22,000 season ticket holders and after many years of ups and downs, it is at a new high of 32,000 subscribers. What began as a summer season of four productions supported by a minimal staff is now a complex organization employing more than 900 people per year.
The Guthrie has hosted numerous great shows. Show after show, sell out at the Guthrie Theatre and it is not uncommon for tickets to become unavailable quickly, especially because the Guthrie receives regularly outstanding fan reviews.
