There is street parking and a ramp directly across from the theater.

Meet in the 4th floor Target Lounge on the side of the bar for drinks and snacks.. I will be there at 6:30. We will take our seats at 7:10. If you haven't been on the "endless bridge" overlooking the Mississippi, make sure you arrive in time to see the view.

If you watch the seating on The Guthrie website, you may be able to get a less expensive "rush" ticket the same day of the show. There is no guarantee, but you have a good shot on a Wednesday.

Jo March desperately wants to be a writer — an unusual dream for a teenage girl in 1860s Massachusetts. With her father away during the Civil War, Jo and sisters Meg, Beth and Amy, at home with their mother Marmee, remain joyful and dutiful despite their modest circumstances. As time passes, the women in the family grow ever closer as they navigate love, loss and new beginnings. Yearning for independence, Jo is emboldened by her sisters to channel her angst into her stories, eventually finding her place in the world as a published author. This new adaptation of the beloved classic celebrates the wonderful and trying transition from girlhood to adulthood.

Three things to know

This new adaptation by Lauren M. Gunderson puts author Louisa May Alcott at the forefront of the classic tale, using lines from the original novel to capture the complexity and charm of the characters.

Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women was co-commissioned by four regional theaters: City Theatre Company, Northlight Theatre, People’s Light and TheatreWorks Silicon Valley.

Director Jackson Gay is a freelance director, a writer and the Co-Producing Artistic Director of New Neighborhood. She currently teaches directing at Brooklyn College.

Gutenberg! The Musical! with Theater Latte Da at the Ritz

Fresh off its hit Broadway premiere, Gutenberg! The Musical! is a clever, offbeat, frequently absurd comedy that affectionately spoofs the world of musical theater. This love letter to new works is told through the lens of two aspiring writers earnestly pitching their wildly inaccurate musical about the invention of the printing press, blending infectious enthusiasm, witty songs, and irreverent historical twists. Twin Cities theater luminary, Tyler Michaels King returns to Latté Da, this time wearing the (trucker) hat of Director. Equal parts satire and celebration, Gutenberg! is a fast-paced theatrical romp that revels in the art of making something of nothing—one song and one dream at a time.

Synopsis
A waitress finds a love note from a mysterious customer and begins a letter-writing romance with a man who calls her “Rosabella.” Little does she know the object of her growing love is Tony, an aging immigrant wine grower. Fearing his “Rosabella” will reject him, Tony sends her a photograph of his handsome foreman instead. As her visit approaches, the stage is set for confusion, hurt, and betrayal before finally blooming into love and understanding. This return to a beautiful story marks the revival of TTT’s second-ever musical.
