Step behind the curtain at one of the nation’s most respected cultural institutions with an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. Founded in 1963, the Guthrie has set a national standard for artistic excellence while serving as a vital cultural resource for the people of Minnesota. Dedicated to producing a compelling mix of classic and contemporary plays, the theater also plays a key role in cultivating the next generation of theater artists.

Under the leadership of Artistic Director Joseph Haj, the Guthrie is guided by four core values—Artistic Excellence; Community; Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility; and Fiscal Responsibility. During this tour, members will explore the Guthrie’s three state-of-the-art stages, production and rehearsal spaces, classrooms, and public areas, gaining insight into the creativity, collaboration, and operational expertise that bring world-class theater to life. This immersive experience offers inspiration for event professionals seeking innovative ideas, meaningful storytelling, and a deeper appreciation for the performing arts.
