Goals

To revolutionize theater in Minneapolis by bringing grit, intensity, and above all truth to the stage in an environment that severely lacks theatrical courage. While there nothing wrong with "fluff" and "shtick" in their own respective genres and purposes, it is all to easy to forget theater's most important mission: to provoke thought and encourage change. We are the representation of society, and it is our duty to represent it truthfully at all costs.
