The Guthrie presents
A Mu Performing Arts production of
Yellow Face
by David Henry Hwang
directed by Rick Shiomi
In classic David Hwang fashion, Yellow Face is a comic, head-spinning story in which mistaken racial identities collide with family, media and politics. Yellow Face begins as DHH (Twin Cities favorite Randy Reyes), fresh from the success of his Tony Award for M. Butterfly, publicly protests the casting of a Caucasian actor in a Eurasian role (Matt Rein) in the original production of Miss Saigon. The play spirals into a dizzying mix of autobiography and fantasy, government investigations and a sea of media debate that stirs up questions of what it means to be Asian and what it takes to be American. Mu Performing Arts Artistic Director Rick Shiomi directs this 2008 Pulitzer finalist, which also features Kurt Kwan, Erika Crane, Don Eitel, Kim Kivens, Allen Malicsi, Rose Tran and Wade Vaughn.
This production contains adult language.

Macbeth
by William Shakespeare
directed by Joe Dowling
In this tale of treachery and ambition, a brave soldier and nobleman, Macbeth, encounters three weïrd sisters who prophesy his path to greatness. When their predictions begin to come true, Macbeth and his ambitious wife decide to do whatever is necessary to ensure their rise to power. They first hatch a plot to kill the king and take his place, and though all goes according to plan, they soon realize a single murder isn’t enough to maintain the throne. Obsession and paranoia get the best of them, driving the couple down a path of destruction on a quest for glory, even as the kingdom crumbles between their bloody fingers. Macbeth, Shakespeare’s shortest and darkest tragedy, performed here with no intermission, moves with the rapid pace of the murder thriller it is, exposing the politics of power and the corruption it breeds.
This production contains graphic violence.

Guthrie's WorldStage Series presents
Kneehigh Theatre’s production of
Noël Coward’s
Brief Encounter
originally produced by David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers and Cineworld
adapted and directed by Emma Rice
In this must-see limited engagement direct from sold-out performances in London, San Francisco and New York, England's acclaimed Kneehigh Theatre transforms Noël Coward's iconic love story into a jaw-dropping fusion of theater, film and song. Forbidden passion brews in a 1938 railway station tearoom as a suburban housewife, over a series of stolen afternoons, falls madly in love with a married doctor. This groundbreaking theatrical event - ingeniously crafted with whimsical humor, dreamy romance and stunning multimedia effects - was hailed as "a first-class return to romance" (Daily Telegraph) and The New York Times said "Don't be ashamed if you, too, feel a bit like swooning." The San Francisco Chronicle raved "Every so often a theater piece comes to town that is so brilliantly conceived and executed, so entertaining on every level, that you want everyone you love or even like just a bit to see it. Brief Encounter is that kind of experience." Don't miss this runaway hit as it makes its final stop on an exclusive three-city U.S. tour!
This production contains smoking.
