For the eight years that we lived in Minneapolis, we routinely prioritized making Walking Shadow's productions a part of our lives. They are consistently excellent with expertly cast and produced performances. We most appreciated the contemporary and thought-provoking shows that they staged--some conceived from the ground up and others licensed for public performance. Never shy to push against the expectations of the craft, Walking Shadow shows their versatility every season, navigation fluidly between genres and themes. Despite such diversity in their approaches, you always get a sense of the underlying vision of the company. They entertain and compel audiences to pay attention to a wide range of expressions of the human condition. They know who they are, and you should get to know them.
Walking Shadow is a very imaginative theater company in the Twin Cities. My wife and I saw The Ugly One on opening night- hilarious production!! Well-run company with unique, memorable shows.
The finest "smaller theatre company" in the Twin Cities. Their selections of challenging and entertaining material coupled with innovative stagings and inclusive, fluid casting choices all combine to make Walking Shadow far exceed their limited means. Who knows what heights they might achieve with added financial support? Think of making a donation to this phenomenal company. We need them around for many years to come!
I forgot the name of the show but I saw a show about Oscar Wilde that blew me away. Also, the Dracula show that takes place after the events of Bram Stoker's Dracula was so completely creative.
This theatre company really cares about the audience experience. They put quality into every performance. If you don't go to one of their shows, I believe you are missing out on a truly great live experience.
Fantastic (often funny and dark) shows. Also, a joy to work with!
