Midwest Theatre Spotlight Numero Uno!

Every once in a while, I'll spotlight a midwestern theater. There are lots of theaters in the states surrounding Iowa. A lot are typical community theaters, but some are truly unique theaters with an interesting mission. The first spotlight theater is Hardcover Theater located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As a lover of literature, this is a theater for me. Check out their mission statement:

Hardcover Theater's mission is to create entertaining, thought-provoking, and stylistically original adaptations of literature for the stage.

Making a book work onstage is no easy challenge. I've not had the chance to see one of their shows, but I'm certainly interested.

Their next production is called The Dark Side of Brothers Grimm. So consider a road trip in October. See what else is out there... especially since Dreamwell, ICCT, Catalyst and City Circle are taking October off.
