Theatre 55 was created in 2018 to fill a need in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota: theatre performed by seniors. It was formed with the purpose of developing lifelong learning through theatre performance and education. Our vision is to enrich the lives of elders as artists, audiences, and lifelong learners through theatre performance and education.
During the rehearsal process, novice performers will have a hands-on opportunity to learn from professional actors along with a musical director, choreographer, and director, in a peer to peer methodology. Participants will learn theatre skills of using your body, voice, imagination, breath control, movement, expression, and self-promotion through social media.
Our vision is to enrich the lives of elders as artists, audiences, and lifelong learners through theatre performance and education.

Theatre 55 believes in the creativity and vitality of seniors, and is dedicated to offering opportunities for growth and learning. This spring, we’ve got classes in Improvisation, taught by Theatre 55 regular, Dane Stauffer, and Broadway Dance, taught by Rik Kutcher!
“This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Minnesota State Arts Board and the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.”
