Big Blue Buzz From The Guthrie Theater For January 2009

Here is some Big Blue Buzz from the Guthrie Theater for January 2009 events:

DATE CHANGE: The Library Foundation's Pen Pals Author Lecture Series with Tony Kushner has been rescheduled for January 29 and 30. Additional details and ticket information are available at: http://www.hclib.org/pub/info/support/penpals2008_09/

Take a look back at the 19 glorious productions that graced our three stages during the past 12 months in our "2008 Year in Review" slide show. The brief video is now available for your viewing pleasure at: http://www.guthrietheater.org/2008_a_year_in_picutres

The intermission dessert buffet offered during all evening performances has changed prices (now only $5) and locations (now in the Target Lounge). Get your 20-minute sugar fix while enjoying an all-you-can-scarf down array of baked goods and pastries, fresh fruit kabobs, and bottomless cups of coffee and tea. Tickets for the dessert buffet are available for purchase in Cue, Level 5 Express, the Level 5 Café and also the Target Lounge.

The MN Thespian Festival (the first in 35 years) will take place at the UofM's Rarig Center on January 10. Supported by the Guthrie's education department, the day-long experience offers high school theater students from around the state with the opportunity to connect with one another, meet theater professionals, receive feedback on their work and audition for college scholarships.

Target Play Dates for the remaining 2008-09 Season go on sale Wednesday, January 7 through the Guthrie Box Office. These wildly-popular matinee performance events allow little ones, ages 4-11 to enjoy free theater workshops, while the rest of the family gets $15 tickets to that afternoon's matinee performance.
