Theater Group

The Theater Group attends plays together and then gathers afterwards for discussion and a meal. All members, spouses, partners, and friends are invited to join for one or all of the performances. Tickets are purchased as a group.

The plays we have chosen for the 2023-2024 theatre group include:

Sunday, October 1, 2023, at the Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson for “9-5: The Musical”. The play is based on the seminal 1980 hit movie that was later make into a television series and a play.
Thursday, December 7, 2023, at the History Theater, St. Paul, to see “I Am Betty”. Betty Crocker has helped shape American homes and appetites for over a century. She has been a subject of both admiration and scorn as multiple generations have grappled with questions of women’s role in American society.
Sunday, April 14, 2024, at the Stillwater Senior High School to see the talented and versatile students in their spring musical production.

Sunday, May 19, 2024, at the Lakeshore Players Theater, White Bear Lake, to see “Urinetown”. A musical about a water shortage that has led to a government enforced ban on the private toilets in a Gotham-like city. It is a funny and touchingly honest satire on the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, and corporate mismanagement.
