The Guthrie announced today the launch of LittleHousetheMusical.com , a new micro-site dedicated to the upcoming world premiere production of the musical Little House on the Prairie. Designed by Twin Cities-based Gorton Studios, the site builds off the show artwork created by SpotCo, the Guthrie's New York-based creative agency, and offers video content, downloads, news, promotions and interactive resources to help enhance the experience for audiences.



The site follows a structure similar to the Guthrie's main site, which was also designed by Gorton, and expands on the functionality of MyMidsummer.com, the site which Gorton created to promote the Guthrie's recent smash-hit A Midsummer Night's Dream.

"We continue to be inspired and excited by our partnership with Gorton Studios," said Trish Santini, Guthrie External Relations Director. "They have done a wonderful job capturing the spirit of the show, and have created the perfect platform on which to offer our audiences a way to enhance the experience of seeing this musical both before and afterwards."

An American story sings in Minneapolis as the Guthrie presents the world premiere production of Little House on the Prairie, July 26 through October 5, 2008 on the McGuire Proscenium Stage. Single tickets are priced from $29 to $69, with opening night prices ranging from $54 to $75. Tickets are now on sale through the Guthrie Box Office at 612.377.2224, toll-free 877.44.STAGE and online at www.littlehousethemusical.com

 

The Guthrie production of Little House on the Prairie is sponsored by Target. Little House on the Prairie is being produced at the Guthrie by special arrangement with Global Prairie Productions, Inc. Founded in 2001, Gorton Studios (www.gortonstudios.com) is a full-service web development and design firm that focuses on developing sites that are user-friendly and easy-to-manage. Gorton Studios' work has won numerous regional and national awards, including praise and attention by Newsweek, Time and Yahoo.com.
