Raw. Intimate. Elemental. A different cast every night. King Lear has three daughters and one crown to leave behind. His journey through storms and madness toward understanding and compassion has moved generations of theatergoers. Join us for an evening out with your own humanity. MN Shakespeare has turned the wheel on this great tragedy by creating it with a rotating company. Each main role is cast with two actors, who will play the role on different nights. On nights where actors do not play their main characters, they will fill in smaller roles. Each night, there will be a different match-up of actors on the stage, igniting a raw freshness that will fill each performance with exciting new discoveries for the audience.

Okay, class, pop quiz time. What do you get when you mix a young substitute teacher with a classroom full of the seemingly dumbest (and funniest) pupils found anywhere? A wise-cracking musical that's sure to put a smile on the principal's face, that's what. When Miss Quackenbush takes over a class at the Little Red Schoolhouse, she soon discovers why the previous teacher had a nervous breakdown. Unless the likable but hare-brained pupils can pass a simple exam, they won't advance to the next grade. It's one inane answer after another as Miss Quackenbush tries to promote this bunch of blockheads outta here. It won't be easy, though. Only a fool would want to leave this school.

Wintersville High School, 1976. Richard Miller is the hip new Social Studies instructor at his crumbling old alma matter, and decides to teach his students about the U.S. criminal justice system by staging a "drug game," where the students play pushers, buyers, narcs, cops, and lawyers, using Good ‘n’ Plenty candies as the contraband of choice. Bad idea. Good ‘n’ Plenty is a brilliant twist on high school madness, and a compelling meditation on democracy, as well.

Sadako Saski was two years old when the atomic bomb was dropped on the small city of Hiroshima, where she lived. Now 12 years old, she is an excellent athlete who races daily with her friend Kenji to prepare for an important competition. However, one day while running, Sadako gets dizzy and falls. It is discovered that she has radiation sickness -- leukemia -- an effect of the bombing that happened 10 years before, during which her grandmother was killed. A Thousand Cranes tells the true and poignant story of a young girl's journey. Retold here on our stage through the voices of two 12 year old actors, two adults, four puppeteers, and through the eyes of 14 year old director Madi Hyde, Sadako's voice and message take on a whole new life.

William Golding's chilling novel about a group of English schoolboys who are plane-wrecked on a deserted island comes to life on stage. This production stays true to the novel by using an all youth cast. At first, the stranded boys cooperate, attempting to gather food, make shelters, and maintain signal fires. The situation deteriorates as the trappings of civilization continue to fall away. A mix of greed, fear and power begins to transform the boys into something unimaginable...
