ABOUT SOD HOUSE THEATRE

Sod House Theater brings people together through playful collaboration to create immersive, community-engaged theater and space for public dialogue and action. We envision a Minnesota in which everyone has access to specialized theater training and performance, and where theater art becomes a driver for community engagement, relationship building, economic growth, problem solving, and transformation. We seek to bridge differences and inspire connections through theater rooted in community.
