About Ten Thousand Things Theater

MISSION: Ten Thousand Things (TTT) awakens the creative spirit of audiences and artists by bringing essential and exceptional theater to people from all backgrounds and life experiences. VISION: To ignite empathy and revolutionize belonging through the power of compelling and inspiring theater. VALUES: 1) Theater is better when everyone is in the audience. Performing for audiences of all life experiences and backgrounds expands imagination and challenges us to create work that is honest, relevant and representative. 2) Artistic excellence drives our work. We combine rigor, skilled artists and bold, universal stories to create the best work possible. 3) Artists are our greatest asset. We value the tremendous talent and commitment of our artists and place them at the center of the work. Everyone belongs. We actively work to eliminate barriers to participation and cultivate equitable practices. Whether an audience member, artist, staff, or volunteer, each person’s unique perspective is necessary to the work. We choose joy. Challenging work is best met by an environment that allows for laughter, safety, play and creativity. OUR PERFORMANCE MODEL: We perform in the round, with the lights on and minimal sets and live music. The result is a performance that engages the imagination of our audiences. Through this dynamic exchange, artists and audience breathe new life into theater together, reminding us that theater is essential to all of our lives. Our free performances are at shelters for the unhoused, correctional facilities, low-income senior centers, after-school programs, women's shelters, and locations in greater/rural Minnesota. We also perform for paying audiences at locations such as Open Book and North Garden Theater.
