Theatre 55 Presents: The Full Monty
The approximate run time of the event is 130 minutes including a 15 minute intermission. Based on the cult hit film of the same name, The Full Monty, a ten-time Tony Award nominee, is filled with honest affection, engaging melodies and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show. While spying on their wives at a “Girls’ Night Out,” a group of unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo sees how much they enjoy watching male strippers. Jealous, out of work and feeling emasculated, the men come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash. In preparing, they find themselves extremely exposed; not merely physically but emotionally. As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness and prejudices, the men come to discover that they’re stronger as a group, and the strength that they find in each other gives them the individual courage to “let it go.”The Full Monty is a story full of heart. Right to the end, audiences will be wondering if these lovable misfits will really pull it off. With a raucous mix of razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz, this heartwarming, upbeat comedy is a must see. The ticket prices on this page reflect the face value price + $2.75 online Etix fee.

HERD – A Women-Centered Storytelling Event – Theme: Crush
The approximate run time of the event is 120 minutes plus a 15 minute intermission. HERD is an innovative storytelling platform that empowers women to share their stories with a supportive audience. Through personal narratives and active listening, HERD fosters a vibrant community, providing women a space to connect, find common ground, and discover their authentic voices. HERD hosts amateur storytelling performances by women, for women. Join us to listen, share, laugh, weep, bond, and connect! HERD offers a safe and empowering space for women to share their true stories—free of judgment and competition. We draw inspiration from other story slams, but with a deeply women-centered and joy-forward focus. Learn more at www.youareherd.org The theme for HERD on February 11th is CRUSH, a topic open to wide interpretation. We invite stories exploring the powerful pull of infatuation, obsession, and longing, as well as the burden of expectation. CRUSH could be a tale of being drawn toward a person, a goal, or a future self—and facing the consequences of that force. It might be a narrative of relentless pursuit, crushing expectations, or intense ambition. Perhaps CRUSH means moony first-love, a broken heart, the dynamics of power dating, or the sheer force of true desire. * Interested in sharing your story? Keep your true, personal account under 5 minutes and be prepared to tell it from the heart—no notes! Your ticket price includes the option to attend a storytelling workshop on either February 4th or 8th (details to follow). Attending a workshop is a potential shortcut to the stage! The ticket prices on this page reflect the face value price + $2.75 online Etix fee. Tickets are $28 if booked directly through the Ticket Office in person or by phone at: 651-690-6700.

Waking Miss Daisy, a Combustible Company Premiere
The approximate run time of the event is 90 minutes with no intermission. This performance will be followed by a post-show discussion. As powerful institutions try to erase and whitewash the truth of our shared American story, Waking Miss Daisy confronts the history our culture still struggles to face. Alfred Uhry’s play “Driving Miss Daisy” is reimagined from the chauffeur Hoke’s point of view. With the insightful vision of James Craven and the signature physical direction of Kym Longhi, this immersive multi-media staging brings to life the world of Atlanta, Georgia in the mid 20th century. Uhry’s play was inspired by the actual experiences of his family and their interactions with their Black driver, Willie Coleman. The play has enjoyed enormous success, but it fails to tell the complete story. Written from a white man’s perspective, it’s at best a misguided and naive understanding of the complicated dynamics of race relations. At worst, it erases the experience of its black character. Miss Daisy calls Hoke her friend, but can they be friends if she fails to see his life for what it really is? Waking Miss Daisy reminds us that racism affects all of us, with a performance you’ll never forget. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. This project is also made possible with the support of the Imagine Fund Annual Faculty Research Grants through the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Minnesota. Thank you. Tickets are pick your price according to your means: $10, $20, $30, $40, $50. The ticket prices on this page reflect the face value price + $2.75 online Etix fee.
