We Love Minnesota Theater

About We Love Minnesota Theater

Two native Minnesotans who love to go see live theater, mostly in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, share reflections, anecdotes and occasional non-sequiturs about recent performances. We are not professional critics, however we have opinions! Consider us the groundlings of the land of 10,000 lakes. Our knowledge of theater history might be lacking, but we make up for that with the confidence with which speculate about what might be true. We hope you enjoy these lighthearted, positive, and maybe even informative conversations! If you have any suggestions for local theater performances around the Twin Cities, please send us an email at weloveminnesotatheater@gmail.com! (mailto:weloveminnesotatheater@gmail.com)
