Guthrie Theater's summer proscenium production shows how much has changed and how much as stayed the same in the 50 years between acts 1 and 2.

Tonight is opening night at the Guthrie for An Iliad, the single-actor storytelling adaptation of Homer's Greek classic about the siege of Troy, featuring Stephen Yoakam (more than 75 Guthrie productions including a lauded turn as Bertolt Brecht in 2012's Tales from Hollywood and as Creon in 2011's The Burial at Thebes) as The Poet and directed by Benjamin McGovern (The Edge of Our Bodies, Circle Mirror Transformation). An Iliad is written by Lisa Peterson (director of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Guthrie in 2012, as well as the upcoming production of Clybourne Parkopening in June) and Denis O'Hare from a translation of Homer by Robert Fagles.

The Guthrie Theater today announced complete casting for its production of 2011 Pulitzer Prize and 2012 Tony Award winner Clybourne Park by Bruce Norris, the biting, powerhouse contemporary satire about race and gentrification during the past half century in America. Written in response to Lorraine Hansberry's classic A Raisin in the Sun, Clybourne Park has sparked conversation and dialogue across America wherever it has played. Lisa Peterson (Guthrie: Major Barbara, Oedipus) returns to direct another great, biting American story at the Guthrie after last year's lauded production of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

Spies, secrets, and sensuality abound as Park Square Theatre presents the regional premiere of Liz Duffy Adams' stylish play OR, on stage February 22-March 17, 2013. A comedic romp set in 1666 Restoration England, OR, combines fact with fiction in a tale complete with secret agents, cross dressing, rhyming couplets, and lovers hiding in cupboards. Playwright Adams brilliantly weaves Elizabethan verse and clever transitions into modern prose, all in a style reminiscent of the film Shakespeare in Love.
