Dark & Stormy Productions seeks to enrich the community by providing artistically excellent, relevant, and thought-provoking productions that engage and inspire both the audience and the artists.
We have three primary goals:
1) Fostering new theatergoers.
For The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (2023), Dark & Stormy’s partnered with the University of Minnesota’s Department of theater and dance B.A. Program, highlighting our initiative to usher in the next generation of artists and audience members.

2) Sustaining current audiences by offering them intimate, vital, professional productions.
3) Supporting the rich community of professional artists in the Twin Cities by providing artistically engaging opportunities.
