PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS
Theatre Unbound Announces 10th Anniversary Season
(Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota) Celebrating ten years of bringing women's stories to the stage, Theatre Unbound presents an ambitious season full of plays by female playwrights including the Twin Cities' premiere of Expecting Isabel by Lisa Loomer and a collaboration with Green T Productions.
"Since 1999, we've been creating unique opportunities for female artists and offering audiences stories they just won't see elsewhere," says Stacey Poirier, Theatre Unbound's Artistic Director. "What better way to celebrate our tenth anniversary than to go at it like crazy? Four mainstage shows, a new off-night program, and our signature 24-Hour Play Project - prepare for all hell to break loose!"
