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.
