SUMMARY:My Ántonia
DESCRIPTION:In this Latté Da-commissioned world premiere\, Willa Cather’s beloved novel is envisioned as an intimate celebration of resilience and the enduring strength of women. Featuring a sweeping indie folk score by The Kilbanes and an imaginative libretto by Noah Brody\, this poignant adaptation traces the immigrant experience on the Great Plains at the turn of the 20th century through the eyes of the lifelong friendship between orphan boy Jim Burden and Ántonia Shimerda\, daughter of a Bohemian immigrant family. \nMy Ántonia offers a timely celebration of the contributions of immigrants to the nation’s identity and spirit as America marks its 250th anniversary. Rooted in the land and shaped by memory\, this powerful work invites us to consider how we remember our past\, and whose stories we choose to tell. \nNote: Due to limited ticket numbers\, teachers and students can register for the 6/3 preview performance\, but the 6/12 performance is reserved for students and family members only. \nAll Performance Dates   \nWednesday\, 6/3 at 7:30pm (This date is a preview)  \nFriday\, 6/12 at 7:30pm  \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nContains mature themes including suicide and sexual assault. This performance is recommended for ages 14 and older with parent/guardian discretion. \nThemes\nThis story highlights the way that someone’s life can be witnessed and described by another person they knew. How accurately do you think another person could understand and tell your story? How accurate do you think Jim’s perspective of Ántonia might be? And how might this relate to the title of the show? \nAccessibility\nMany performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating\, assistive listening\, sensory ear plugs\, ASL interpretation\, open captioning\, or audio description\, among other options. These accommodations are specific to each event\, and may not be available everywhere. When registering with us\, please let us know what accommodations you need and we will follow up with you! \nTransportation\nIf you do not have access to a ride\, call Project Success and we can provide transportation for you. Please let us know if you need a ride when you make your reservation. We will need at least 2 days’ notice to set up transportation.

SUMMARY:Blithe Spirit
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only. \nIn this sparkling supernatural comedy\, novelist Charles Condomine invites a medium to conduct a séance—but instead of inspiration\, he accidentally conjures his late (and mischievous) first wife\, Elvira. As Elvira wreaks ghostly havoc on Charles and his current marriage\, things go from strange to absolutely otherworldly. With razor-sharp wit\, eccentric characters\, and Coward’s signature charm\, Blithe Spirit is a delightfully witty reminder that the past has a way of lingering… especially when it’s not quite ready to leave. \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nContains mature language (racist and sexist) and themes including references to death\, ghosts and threats of violence. Recommended for ages 13 and older with parent/guardian discretion. \nThemes\nThis show takes a darkly comedic look at the idea of our deceased loved ones impacting our current lives. What is your relationship with death/transition/loss\, from a cultural perspective? What are ways in which those we can no longer see in person can impact us moving forward? \nAccessibility\nMany performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating\, assistive listening\, sensory ear plugs\, ASL interpretation\, open captioning\, or audio description\, among other options.

SUMMARY:The Butler Did It
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only. \nA witty and suspenseful comedy thriller in the grand tradition of Dial M for Murder and Columbo. \nJeffrey Hatcher’s original mystery\, The Butler Did It\, takes audiences to a school for butlers that serves the fabulously rich\, where a perfect murder has just been committed. The butler did it… but which butler? How? Why? And will the culprit get away with it when an unassuming detective named Inspector Denise is on the case? \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nContains mature themes including murder. This performance is recommended for ages 14 and older. \nThemes\n\nSome butler training includes adopting the mindset that you need to set your personal humanity aside while you’re at work. Some believe that personal emotions have no place in the workplace. Do you think this is true of other fields of work? If so\, what is one example that comes to mind?\n\n\nBeing a successful butler requires close attention to detail\, and sometimes it may be hard to understand why that level of detail is necessary. This is true for many jobs\, and maybe even in your work as a student. How might we motivate ourselves to maintain strict attention to detail\, especially in the moments that we don’t enjoy it?\n\nAccessibility\nMany performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating\, assistive listening\, sensory ear plugs\, ASL interpretation\, open captioning\, or audio description\, among other options. These accommodations are specific to each event\, and may not be available everywhere. When registering with us\, please let us know what accommodations you need and we will follow up with you! \nTransportation\nIf you do not have access to a ride\, call Project Success and we can provide transportation for you. Please let us know if you need a ride when you make your reservation. We will need at least 2 days’ notice to set up transportation. \nChildcare\nChildcare is available for this performance. Please let us know if you need childcare when you make your reservation. \nAdditional Media\nIt may not be common knowledge that there are schools that teach the skills to be a professional butler. Since this play is a murder mystery set in such a school\, you might like to know more about that environment in advance. Below are two options. The first video is pretty short and gives a general overview of the training that some receive. The second video is about a half hour\, but it is entertaining and informative. Whichever video you choose (if not both)\, try to imagine how a murder mystery could be written in this setting. Then at the show\, see how much of your vision is reflected in the show! \nShort video:  \n \nLong video:

SUMMARY:Waiting for Godot
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This performance date is currently waitlist only. \nA profound exploration of humanity \nBeneath a lonely tree on a country road\, two companions wait for the mysterious Godot. As time moves along\, Vladimir and Estragon fill their day circling the largest of questions: Why are we here? What are we here for? Who are we to be? Samuel Beckett’s tragicomedy uses wit and poignant dialogue to create an existential world that is both humorous and heartbreaking. Staged at the Guthrie for the first time in over 50 years\, this seminal play explores the human impulses to want more\, to understand why and to keep showing up — even when nothing seems to change.  \nThings to know\n\nWaiting for Godot is considered a landmark theatrical masterpiece for many reasons: The play subtly breaks the fourth wall\, embraces the absurd and pairs philosophy with comedy to explore universal human questions.\nAcademy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner David Strathairn\, best known for his performances in Good Night\, and Good Luck\, The Bourne Ultimatum and Lincoln\, will make his Guthrie debut as Vladimir.\n\nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nContains production effects and mature content\, including moments of staged violence and references to suicidal ideation and slavery. This performance is recommended for ages 14 and older. \nThemes\nThis play presents a world that doesn’t seem to change. What are aspects of our world that you wish would change? What aspects might you want to keep the same? \nAccessibility\nMany performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating\, assistive listening\, sensory ear plugs\, ASL interpretation\, open captioning\, or audio description\, among other options.

SUMMARY:Indecent
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only. \nA play about a play—and the artists who risked everything to tell it. Inspired by the true story of Sholem Asch’s seminal Yiddish work\, God of Vengeance\, and its infamous 1923 obscenity trial\, INDECENT is a haunting\, klezmer-infused play with music that traces the turbulent journey of a troupe determined to stage a work deemed “indecent.” As their story unfolds across continents and decades\, so too does a powerful meditation on censorship\, nationalism and the policing of queer love. At once tender and thunderously relevant\, this breathtaking theatrical experience shines a light on the enduring struggle between artistic expression and societal control. In a moment when questions of whose stories are “acceptable” feel increasingly urgent\, INDECENT invites us to bear witness to the courage of artists\, the cost of silence and the unshakable power of theater itself.  \nPlease note: Due to limited ticket numbers\, teachers and students can register for the 9/15 performance\, but the 9/25 performance is reserved for students and family members only. \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nThis performance contains: \n\nThemes of antisemitism\, censorship and persecution\nDepictions of homophobia and prejudice\, and period-specific discriminatory language\nReferences to and depictions of war\, displacement and the Holocaust\nEmotional grief\, loss and trauma\nTheatrical haze\n\n This experience is recommended for ages 13 and older with parent/guardian discretion. \nThemes\nThis play is about real-life artists who were committed to sharing a radical play with the world\, despite intense backlash and legal consequences. In addition\, they were facing existential threats with the rise of Nazism. Despite all of this\, many of those artists remained committed to the play. What is something that you care deeply about\, whether it be a work of art or something different?  What is something that you would remain committed to\, no matter what? \nAccessibility\nMany performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating\, assistive listening\, sensory ear plugs\, ASL interpretation\, open captioning\, or audio description\, among other options. These accommodations are specific to each event\, and may not be available everywhere.

Please let us know if you need a ride when you make your reservation. We will need at least 2 days’ notice to set up transportation. \nAdditional Media\nHere is an interview with playwright Paula Vogel:

SUMMARY:Waiting for Godot
DESCRIPTION:A profound exploration of humanity \nBeneath a lonely tree on a country road\, two companions wait for the mysterious Godot. As time moves along\, Vladimir and Estragon fill their day circling the largest of questions: Why are we here? What are we here for? Who are we to be? Samuel Beckett’s tragicomedy uses wit and poignant dialogue to create an existential world that is both humorous and heartbreaking. Staged at the Guthrie for the first time in over 50 years\, this seminal play explores the human impulses to want more\, to understand why and to keep showing up — even when nothing seems to change.  \nThings to know\n\nWaiting for Godot is considered a landmark theatrical masterpiece for many reasons: The play subtly breaks the fourth wall\, embraces the absurd and pairs philosophy with comedy to explore universal human questions.\nAcademy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner David Strathairn\, best known for his performances in Good Night\, and Good Luck\, The Bourne Ultimatum and Lincoln\, will make his Guthrie debut as Vladimir.\n\nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nContains production effects and mature content\, including moments of staged violence and references to suicidal ideation and slavery. This performance is recommended for ages 14 and older. \nThemes\nThis play presents a world that doesn’t seem to change. What are aspects of our world that you wish would change? What aspects might you want to keep the same? \nAccessibility\nMany performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating\, assistive listening\, sensory ear plugs\, ASL interpretation\, open captioning\, or audio description\, among other options.

SUMMARY:The Great Gatsby
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This performance is currently waitlist only. \nIn this famous Jazz Age story\, Nick Carraway\, a young man from Minnesota\, moves to New York in the summer of 1922. As he navigates the unfamiliar social scene\, he is invited to a lavish party thrown by the mysteriously wealthy Jay Gatsby\, who is trying to rekindle a relationship with Nick’s cousin\, Daisy. This faithful adaptation of the novel uses theatricality to capture the lyric and poetic nature of Fitzgerald’s prose. With themes of greed\, love\, disillusionment\, and inequality\, this Great American Classic feels both mythic and familiar in a new century. \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nContains mature themes\, including domestic violence and suicide; gunshots;  simulated smoking; & water-based theatrical fog. This performance is recommended for ages 13 and older with parent/guardian discretion. \nThemes\nMany of the characters in this show (which takes place in 1922) value status\, wealth and appearance\, not knowing that less than a decade later the economy would crash and the country would experience The Great Depression. Values such as status\, wealth and appearance might not have been as helpful once everyone was struggling. At the very least\, those values may have been measured differently than earlier. What is a value that you think would serve you well both in good times and bad times? \nAccessibility\nMany performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating\, assistive listening\, sensory ear plugs\, ASL interpretation\, open captioning\, or audio description\, among other options. These accommodations are specific to each event\, and may not be available everywhere. When registering with us\, please let us know what accommodations you need and we will follow up with you! \nTransportation\nIf you do not have access to a ride\, call Project Success and we can provide transportation for you. Please let us know if you need a ride when you make your reservation. We will need at least 2 days’ notice to set up transportation.

SUMMARY:Indecent
DESCRIPTION:Please note: this performance is currently waitlist only. \nA play about a play—and the artists who risked everything to tell it. Inspired by the true story of Sholem Asch’s seminal Yiddish work\, God of Vengeance\, and its infamous 1923 obscenity trial\, INDECENT is a haunting\, klezmer-infused play with music that traces the turbulent journey of a troupe determined to stage a work deemed “indecent.” As their story unfolds across continents and decades\, so too does a powerful meditation on censorship\, nationalism and the policing of queer love. At once tender and thunderously relevant\, this breathtaking theatrical experience shines a light on the enduring struggle between artistic expression and societal control. In a moment when questions of whose stories are “acceptable” feel increasingly urgent\, INDECENT invites us to bear witness to the courage of artists\, the cost of silence and the unshakable power of theater itself.  \nPlease note: Due to limited ticket numbers\, teachers and students can register for the 9/15 performance\, but the 9/25 performance is reserved for students and family members only. \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nThis performance contains: \n\nThemes of antisemitism\, censorship and persecution\nDepictions of homophobia and prejudice\, and period-specific discriminatory language\nReferences to and depictions of war\, displacement and the Holocaust\nEmotional grief\, loss and trauma\nTheatrical haze\n\n This experience is recommended for ages 13 and older with parent/guardian discretion. \nThemes\nThis play is about real-life artists who were committed to sharing a radical play with the world\, despite intense backlash and legal consequences. In addition\, they were facing existential threats with the rise of Nazism. Despite all of this\, many of those artists remained committed to the play. What is something that you care deeply about\, whether it be a work of art or something different?  What is something that you would remain committed to\, no matter what? \nAccessibility\nMany performance venues offer accessibility accommodations such as wheelchair seating\, assistive listening\, sensory ear plugs\, ASL interpretation\, open captioning\, or audio description\, among other options. These accommodations are specific to each event\, and may not be available everywhere. When registering with us\, please let us know what accommodations you need and we will follow up with you! \nTransportation\nIf you do not have access to a ride\, call Project Success and we can provide transportation for you. Please let us know if you need a ride when you make your reservation. We will need at least 2 days’ notice to set up transportation. \nAdditional Media\nHere is an interview with playwright Paula Vogel:
