The Guthrie Theater was founded in 1963 with an aim to promote theater at a sharp contrast to the largely commercial Broadway. Ever since that first Hamlet was staged, directed by founder Sir Tyrone Guthrie, the theater has grown from strength to strength. The Guthrie Theater's mission remains the same but what started off as four productions and a skeletal staff is now a complex that includes... more

When available, the Guthrie offers rush tickets (remaining seats in the house) 10 minutes before the performance for $15-$25, depending on the evening and whether it's a preview or opening. The rush lines typically starts forming up to an hour before the show, and only cash or checks are accepted for those tickets.

My partner and I frequently attend productions at the Guthrie-- most recently Jane Eyre (which we had seen last fall and HAD to come back for it's back by popular demand run). The building is beautiful, the theater was amazing, and the cast was simply fantastic. We stopped by Cue after the show for their late-night happy hour and were delighted to be sharing the bar with members of the cast! ... more

My suggestions for improvement of the experience overall -- as an adult I don't want to slug down aglass of wine at intermission, but instead continue to enjoy it with... more

And about that new facility....obviously much thought went into designing the exterior. However the interior has the feel of an airport concourse. The doors to enjoy the river view allow passage by... more
