Guthrie Theater

The Guthrie Theater stands as one of the flagship institutions of the American regional theatre movement, founded in 1963 by Sir Tyrone Guthrie to offer an alternative to Broadway's commercial pressures. Its striking Jean Nouvel–designed building on the banks of the Mississippi in Minneapolis, opened in 2006, houses three distinct performance spaces and has become an architectural landmark in its own right. The Guthrie's commitment to ambitious classical repertoire and bold new work has made it essential to the national theatrical conversation.
