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.

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.

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:Paul Taylor Dance Company
DESCRIPTION:The vigorous program showcases three contrasting works that explore the complexities of the human condition through Paul Taylor’s signature theatricality. It opens with the physically demanding dynamic geometry of Taylor’s “Brandenburgs” (Opus 88\, 1988)\, an exuberant\, gallant piece set to Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 3 and 6. \nFollowing “Brandenburgs” is a sensational new work by critically acclaimed choreographer Pam Tanowitz\, “Messengers\, Maidens and the End of Something Else\,” danced to Franz Schubert’s haunting “Death and the Maiden\,” with sets and costumes by visual artist Sarah Crowner. \nIn a somber shift\, the evening concludes with the company premiere of resident choreographer Robert Battle’s “No Longer Silent” (2007). The piece’s mechanical\, ritualistic movement is intensified with “Ogelala” (Ballettmysterium) Op. 53 by Erwin Schulhoff\, a Jewish composer whose work was banned in Nazi Germany. \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nThis performance is recommended for ages 11 and older. \nThemes\nIn Robert Battle’s “No Longer Silent\,” they explore connections between the experiences of people from different cultures. This work is informed by deep respect\, self-knowledge\, and empathy. Have you ever noticed similarities between your personal experience and someone else’s? How do you think that respect\, self-knowledge and/or empathy can help you to connect with someone else? \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:Cine Latino: A Song For My Land
DESCRIPTION:This documentary features Ramiro Lezcano\, a teacher who believes in the transformative power of music. In a rural school in Argentina\, he sets out to bring children into the world of artistic creation. What begins as a simple exercise in writing and singing songs\, soon opens a window onto a reality that cannot be ignored: the agrochemical spraying taking place in the farming area surrounding the school. The children begin to write about what they see\, feel\, and experience. \nAs the songs grow\, so does the project. Faced with resistance from local farmers and silence from parts of the media\, Ramiro proposes an audacious idea: a great open-air musical gathering in the countryside—an environmental Woodstock. Artists join them\, and what began with a handful of children and a song becomes a powerful collective movement\, culminating in a massive concert featuring renowned Latin American folk and rock legends such as León Gieco\, Lito Vitale\, Pablo Milanés\, and Rubén Blades. \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nContains mature language and threats of violence. This film is recommended for ages 11 and older. \nThemes\nA teacher and his students want to perform a song for the community\, advocating for safer farming practices. They face formidable resistance\, and could understandably choose to give up at any point. When is a time in your life that giving up would have been easier than persisting? What motivated you to persist? \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:Kunene and the King
DESCRIPTION:A powerful story of connection \nIn post-apartheid South Africa\, Lunga Kunene\, a no-nonsense\, Black caregiver with little patience for privilege or hubris\, finds himself providing in-home care for Jack Morris\, a celebrated (and stubborn) white actor facing a life-changing diagnosis as he rehearses for the title role in King Lear. The two men are different in every way — race\, class and politics\, to start — yet they find unexpected common ground in the words of Shakespeare. This deeply human drama by Tony winner John Kani\, who also plays Kunene\, traces the fragile work of truth-telling in a nation still shaped by its history and reveals how transcending the past may allow us to truly see one another.  \nRuntime is approximately 1 hour\, 40 minutes (no intermission). \nAll Performance Dates   \nTuesday\, 10/13 at 7pm  \nSunday\, 10/18 at 7pm  \nSunday\, 10/25 at 7pm  \n  \nContent Warnings/Age Recommendations\nContains production effects\, mature language\, depictions and discussions of addiction\, and mentions of systemic racism. This performance is recommended for ages 12 and older with parent/guardian discretion. \nThemes\nPlaywright and actor John Kani is still experiencing the intense impact of living under apartheid in South Africa. Many decades later\, those experiences still affect him. Yet he has chosen to engage with that history in a creative way\, inviting the audience (and collaborating artists) to engage with that history along with him. What value do you see in using art to engage with difficult and complex experiences? Are there examples that you’ve seen in the past? \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.
