INDECENT Extends at Theater Latté Da Due to Demand

Theater Latté Da has announced the extension of Indecent, “a passionate and moving production” (BroadwayWorld) by Paula Vogel, due to popular demand. The production will now play through October 25, 2026, at the historic Ritz Theater, 345 13th Ave. NE, Minneapolis, the permanent home of Theater Latté Da.

"Theater Latté Da's lyrical revival transforms theatrical complexity into beauty, urgency and devastating grace," states Rohan Preston of The Minnesota Star Tribune.

“The response to Indecent has been extraordinary,” states Latté Da Artistic Director Justin Lucero. “There is something especially meaningful about seeing audiences gather around this play at this particular moment—a work about artists who refuse to let fear determine what can be imagined, expressed, or shared. That people want more opportunities to experience it together feels like its own powerful affirmation of why this work matters. We’re thrilled to extend the run and welcome even more people into this remarkable theatrical experience.”

“This seven-person cast is remarkable” (Cherry and Spoon) and includes Spencer Chandler (Christmas At The Local, My Ántonia), Robert Dorfman, August Forman, Tony Larkin, Ryan London Levin (NEXT Festival, Merrily We Roll Along, Twelve Angry Men: A New Musical), Rebecca Mac, Ann Michels (Fun Home, A Man of No Importance, Sunday in the Park with George, Parade), Pat O’Keefe, Aila Peck and Ani Tonoyan. Understudies include Tara Borman (Scotland, PA, My Ántonia), Alex Hagen, Russ Kaplan (Twelve Angry Men: A New Musical), Jim Ramlet (NEXT Festival, Oliver, All Is Calm, Sweeney Todd, C.) and Drew Stutz.

"From the opening swirl of ash and violin, the production immediately pulls you into its orbit and never lets up," states Jerrod Sumner of Minnesota Monthly.

Indecent, "a pure joy to watch" (Life in Revue), is a play about a play—and the artists who risked everything to tell it. Inspired by the true story of Sholem Asch’s seminal Yiddish work, God of Vengeance, and its infamous 1923 obscenity trial, Indecent is a haunting, klezmer-infused play with music that traces the turbulent journey of a troupe determined to stage a work deemed “indecent.” As their story unfolds across continents and decades, so too does a powerful meditation on censorship, nationalism and the policing of queer love. At once tender and thunderously relevant, this breathtaking theatrical experience shines a light on the enduring struggle between artistic expression and societal control. In a moment when questions of whose stories are “acceptable” feel increasingly urgent, Indecent invites us to bear witness to the courage of artists, the cost of silence and the unshakable power of theater itself.

"[Indecent is] so affecting, and devastating, and inspiring, the kind of thoughtful, thought-provoking, insightful, and entertaining music-theater we have come to expect from Theater Latté Da,” proclaims Cherry and Spoon.

Indecent is directed by Pirronne Yousefzadeh. Music direction is by Spencer Chandler, with a score and original music by Lisa Gutkin & Aaron Halva, and choreography by Emily Michaels King. The design team includes scenic and Costume Designer Sarah Bahr, lighting designer Søren Olsen, and sound & projections designer Peter Morrow. Shelby Reddig is production stage manager and Austin Schoenfelder is assistant stage manager.

Theater Latté Da’s 2026/27 season invites audiences to engage with the complexities of the present moment through five powerful works that challenge silence, celebrate resilience, and honor the transformative power of shared experience. The lineup continues with the beloved holiday tradition All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914, which recreates the miraculous World War I ceasefire through stirring a cappella harmonies drawn from soldiers’ letters in its Drama Desk Award-winning production (tickets now available for purchase at www.LatteDa.org), followed by Justin Huertas’s indie-rock musical Lizard Boy in a Midwest premiere that transforms comic book mythology into a heartfelt tale of queer self-acceptance. The season also features the world premiere of She’s Come Undone, adapting Wally Lamb’s bestselling novel into a sweeping journey of trauma and healing, and closes with a collaboration with the University of Minnesota on the Tony Award®-winning Spring Awakening, which, through its electrifying rock score, examines the volatile coming-of-age experiences of youth in a repressive society. Together, these productions form a season of curiosity, conviction and care, reminding us that theater is not just a reflection of who we are, but a catalyst for who we might become.
