JOAN OF ARC
May 1 – 31
Written & Directed by Jeremy Stanbary
Cutting through the darkness and depravity of her times, and in the face of tremendous adversity, an unknown teenage peasant girl would go on to lead armies of men, winning decisive victories both militarily and spiritually, changing the course of the Hundred Years’ War in Europe and leaving an indelible imprint on the French nation, on the Christian Church and on human history down to our very day.
Never afraid to grapple with difficult questions, and utilizing his unique storytelling methods, Stanbary explores the heart and soul of Joan and her times, telling her story on stage like never before.

Season 13: 2026-2027
2026-2027 Season
We are excited to announce our 13th season of professional live theater, continuing our legacy of unique, high quality, redemptive performing arts in the Twin Cities!
Season 13 kicks off this fall with an Elizabethan classic and a cornerstone of western civilization, Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus, which asks the question: “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, but forfeit his soul?”
In our Christmas slot for Season 13, we’re thrilled to bring back a wonderful adaptation of C.S. Lewis’s most beloved redemptive tale, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, which met with many sold-out performances when we last produced it back in December, 2015.
To begin the 2027 new year, we’re bringing back another audience favorite: Robert Bolt’s Tony Award Winning Best Play, A Man for All Seasons, which enjoyed a highly successful run in our original Minneapolis location 10-years ago.
Finally, to close out Season 13, we’ll be producing another Best Play Tony Award Winner for the very first time: William Gibson’s The Miracle Worker, about the remarkable and inspiring true story of Helen Keller and her “miracle worker” teacher, Annie Sullivan.
