Behind the Sun
Sept 21-Oct 13, 2024
By Stanley Kipper and Laura Drake
Directed by Richard D. Thompson
Obie Kipper has finally found the house of his dreams but there’s one problem: it’s 1956 and Obie’s dream for the future of his family lies outside his redlined neighborhood, in an all-white neighborhood. With help from an old friend and coworker, Obie puts in motion a sensational scheme to purchase the house. This may either land him in jail or help chart the future for his family and all of Minneapolis. Based on the lives of playwright Stan Kipper's family, experience this story of community, family, and the lengths some had to go through to achieve the American Dream.
I Am Betty
Book and Additional Lyrics by Cristina Luzárraga
Betty Crocker has helped shape America’s homes and appetites for over a century. Surprising to many, she was not a real person! For 100 years, “Betty” has been there as multiple generations have grappled with questions of women’s role in American society. Return for a “second helping” of last season’s hit new musical!
The Root Beer Lady
Written and performed by Kim Schultz
Secret Warriors
By Rick Shiomi
Whoa, Nellie: The Outlaw King of the Wild Middle West
Book, Lyrics and Music by Josef Evans
The whirlwind tale of a fake detective (and former child performer), whose countless criminal exploits and penchant for male attire made her a Minnesota media sensation in the late 1800s. This fast-paced, funny, and surprisingly moving new musical follows the path of the enigmatic and relentless “Nellie King,” the alias by which she was best known, as her reckless disregard for the law leads to disastrous ends and a powerful emotional reckoning. Along the way, her story brings to light historical realities around gender, addiction, mental health and celebrity that continue to resonate today.
