Today we head to the Twin Cities, another mega-hub of NNPN activity, to spotlight Core Member Theater Mu and Associate Member History Theatre. Theater Mu is headquartered in St. Paul, but it’s a “theater on the move,” with shows produced in theatrical houses all over the metro area. They produce great performances born of arts, equity, and justice from the heart of the Asian American experience. In History Theatre’s space in the heart of downtown St. Paul, they’re committed to producing solely new work telling real stories about real people and events, exploring the history of Minnesota and the diverse American experience.

They’re just two of our glorious Twin Cities Member Theaters — scroll through for the full roster. And the Twin Cities are one of America’s metro areas where NNPN supports locally made theater with national impact. Through the end of June, every dollar you donate will be matched, up to $20k, by a donation from our founder David Goldman and Carol Dweck. And until then, we’ll keep featuring NNPN cities. Your gift can help sustain the American theatrical landscape and inspire bold new voices right in your hometown at nnpn.org/donate
