Minneapolis, Minnesota
Landmark Mississippi-riverfront regional theater by Jean Nouvel.
Rising dramatically along the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis, the Guthrie Theater is one of America's most celebrated regional theaters and an architectural landmark that belongs on any culture lover's itinerary. Designed by Jean Nouvel, the building itself is a work of art—its deep blue steel exterior, cantilevered "endless bridge" offering panoramic city views, and amber-lit lobby create an experience before you even take your seat. But it's what happens on stage that's made the Guthrie a beacon for theater lovers since 1963. The Guthrie has long been a welcoming space for LGBTQ+ audiences and artists, with programming that regularly includes queer stories, diverse casting, and work that challenges and inspires. Whether you're catching a bold new production, a reimagined classic, or one of their community events, you'll find an audience that's engaged, diverse, and passionate about the arts. Before or after the show, grab a drink at the theater's restaurant or step out onto the endless bridge for one of the best free views in Minneapolis. It's the kind of venue that reminds you why live theater matters—and why Minneapolis has earned its reputation as one of the most vibrant arts cities in the country.
