Programs

Last night Susan and I went to see Jacob Marley. It was the most wonderful entry into the Christmas season I could have imagined. The set is fabulous--the set builders are so ingenious-- the acting just wonderful, and the story is cool. Lighting and music were similarly awesome. The way the guys sit on top of the cathedral and look down on London is very well done. I worried about the chairs toppling, but then I was there with them on top of that building!

Main Stage

Theatre B produces a four-show main stage season, presenting some of the newest, most innovative plays available for the Fargo Moorhead region.  The season spans from fall through spring, with each show running at least four or five weeks.  This performance schedule is unique in the region.  Theatre B’s long runs allow artists to bring the stories fully to life and gives an ever growing audience greater access to our distinctly intimate venue.

Second Stage

Theatre B enjoyed a seven-year partnership with Trollwood Performing Arts School to produce Second Stage, a unique educational opportunity for high school students to explore cutting-edge new work as an ensemble, under the guidance of experienced professionals.  This program included original work developed in collaboration with playwrights, contemporary dramas that explore difficult pertinent issues and wildly theatrical new comedies developing a wide range of performance and production skills. 
 

Special Projects

Theatre B takes on several special projects and collaborations each year.  Some projects develop from requests by service organizations who wish to use theatre as a means of community engagement.  Others grow out of the creative or educational interests of ensemble members and guest artists.

Special Projects include:

  • Standing On Ceremony - The Gay Marriage Plays - A Collaboration with Tectonic Theater Project
  • The Defiant Requiem – a collaboration with the Bemidji Symphony Orchestra
  • Next Fall – a staged reading in conjunction with National Coming Out Day
