History Theatre’s 32nd season will explore some of the major events and shifts in politics, culture, and science that our country and our world experienced in the middle of the last century. In the span of 15 years Americans experienced a Polio epidemic, World War II, the death of vaudeville, and the birth of rock ‘n’ roll. With two world premieres, two returning audience favorites, and two exciting collaborations, History Theatre’s 32nd season will tell the stories of who and how these events touched the citizens of Minnesota, America, and the world.
