The Minnesota arts scene explodes with creativity.
The sheer number of theaters in Minnesota and theater performances throughout the state fill the annual calendar with arts culture. The preeminent Guthrie theater and other impressive Twin Cities stages are joined by outstanding community theaters in Lanesboro, Bemidji, Plainview and others that contribute to the critical mass.
