A Historic Night Out: The Future Is Calling!

Your presence is requested at History Theatre's annual benefit at 317 on Rice Park to raise funds to support new play development and education programs.

For 44 years History Theatre’s mission has been rooted in exploring people and stories from our past and entertaining, educating, and engaging our audiences by creating, developing, and producing new and existing works that provide a unique lens to link that past to our present. With the recent addition of Richard Thompson as Artistic Director, we’re committing to focus artistic efforts on continuing to broaden and deepen the histories, communities, and types of stories we tell about diverse Minnesota.

We invite you to join us in making a future where everyone in our community can see themselves and their stories reflected in the art on our stages a reality by participating in a celebratory evening of food, entertainment, and impact!
