A little about us...

   Welcome! The Orchard Theater Collective began creating their vision for a new theater as freshmen at the University of Minnesota / Guthrie Theater BFA Actor Training Program in 2013. As a group of artists with a passion and training for telling tales of long ago, this small merry band found common ground in their desire to bring these stories alive in new and pertinent ways. Since then, they have gained nonprofit sponsorship and have performed at the Open Book, the James J. Hill House, Calvary Baptist Church, and the Xperimental theater in Minneapolis. 

   The Orchard wants to re-imagine how the stories of the past can apply to a changing world. Along the way, they hope to help build a community that thinks deeper, laughs longer, and experiences fresh voices telling familiar stories. While that's their hope, they promise to provide a unique, high quality artistic experience to people of all walks of life within and around the Twin Cities.
