Guthrie Theater Wraps Up Highly Successful Kushner Celebration

From April 18 through June 28, Tony Kushner reigned in Minneapolis and today the Guthrie Theater released information on the stunning success of the Kushner Celebration. In the mainstream media, blogs and social networking sites like Twitter; in coffee shops, restaurants and gatherings throughout the Twin Cities; and in the Guthrie’s lobbies, bars and box office lines, everyone was talking Kushner!

Ticket buyers from all 50 states, as well as Canada, Europe and Japan, traveled to the Guthrie to participate in this unprecedented theatrical event!

More than 90,000 people from around the world attended the plays, classes, seminars, workshops and other events of the Kushner Celebration!

All three productions of the Kushner Celebration – Caroline, or Change; Tiny Kushner and The Intelligent Homosexual’s Guide to Capitalism and Socialism with a Key to the Scriptures exceeded their box office goals!
