The world premiere of Buzzer kicks

off our 20th Anniversary Season

February 17 - March 18, 2012


by Tracey Scott Wilson, directed by Marion McClinton



They say you can never go home again, but African-American attorney Jackson is determined to show off his success. When he returns to the mean streets of his youth with his white girlfriend and best friend, he discovers a changing neighborhood where a combustible mixture of race, sex, and class is simmering just below the surface. This piercing dark comedy launches our 20th Anniversary season with a World Premiere co-commissioned with the Guthrie Theater.

Starring Hugh Kennedy, Sara Richardson, and Namir Smallwood.

From our Mainstage to our youth program, Chicago Avenue Project, to our award-winning Breaking Ice company, you'll think about it, talk about it and remember it long after the performance is over. Isn't that what you're looking for when you come to our house? 

Mainstage is daring theater that stays with you. We bring to life in the house contemporary stories that combine nerve and verve, where you can see some of the Twin Cities' best performers up close and personal in our intimate 106 seat theater.

Breaking Ice demonstrates that dialogue and discussion can create real change. This one-of-a-kind performance program is custom-created for organizations and businesses that need help with difficult issues—both interpersonal and institutional. 

Chicago Avenue Project is what happens when neighborhood kids get the chance to create their own plays with teams of professional playwrights, directors and actors. This is theatre that is original, dynamic and from the heart.

Plus, The Late Nite Series, Naked Stages, and the new Power of Our Voices teen leadership ensemble reach across boundaries to build connections at Pillsbury House and around the metro through genre-bending, high-quality performance.
