Using modern technologies of video, intelligent lighting, and costuming, the goal is to introduce the timeless, romantic language and brilliant storytelling of Shakespeare to Central Minnesota
Examples of Outcomes

professional artists who have dedicated much of their lives to performing classic theatre are supplied with a venue and audience.

Ways of Demonstrating Need
“During discussions with the ABC Foundation, three themes of need emerged: cleaning up target areas between 15th and 27th Avenues, altering the spaces to discourage further degradation, and involving neighborhood residents so they feel ownership and pride in the changes.”
65% of audience members surveyed expressed a desire for more spacious, higher quality, and comfortable seating in the theater
