Guthrie Theater

Was in the area for the farmers market. Heard that the theater was open for touring, so we took advantage of the opportunity. The entire facility is so creatively designed. Plenty of areas showcase interesting architectural forms. And then there are the spots that allow different views of the surrounding area. They use a combination of form, light, and space to stimulate your senses. Really enjoyed the cantilevered (blue) structure that led outside to an open area for viewing the river and bridges.

Didn’t actually get to see the theater itself — those areas were not open to the public.

So glad we had a chance to check it out.

We went to see the Cabaret and I was blown away! I loved all of it!
Such an auspicious message. Well done play, gorgeous venue. My only complaint is the upper deck was closed, at the end of the “arm”, ( the amazing cantilevered extension on the building overlooking the river)

The staff was helpful and professional and their August 2025 production of Cabaret was life changing! We’ve come back to see it a second time and it was just as magnificent.

Cabaret was an incredible show! The caliber of the cast, singing, dancing, emotional expression, accents, costumes, set design, everything was fantastic. What a musical! So timely and sobering!

Beautiful theater with unique, original architecture.

Each space feels intimate, no matter where you sit, and the views are amazing — definitely arrive early to snap a few photos before the show.

I love that the bar lets you pre-order drinks to grab at intermission, such a thoughtful touch.

They host fantastic shows here, highly recommend!

We went to see Mid summers night dream, the story was pretty good, the acting was professional and fun. The stage however felt like it was high school level with a $70 price attached… Unimpressed by the stage set up. It needs more props, more bang, more animation and more uniqueness. Beautiful facility though with good actors and a lot of potential if they improve the stage sets.

I just saw the play The Mouse Trap, and it was so much fun. I recommend it. All the actors did a wonderful job. The scenery was great, too. Go early and catch the beautiful views.

I had the honor of photographing this beautiful wedding at the Guthrie theater and it was such an awesome spot to host a wedding! The location has so many nearby spots for photos and also the staff is truly amazing, I couldn’t recommend them more! I look forward to photographing there again!
