Guthrie Theater
A deep-blue theater designed by Jean Nouvel, with the free "Endless Bridge" cantilevered viewing deck extending over the Mississippi River.
The Guthrie Theater is one of the most important regional theaters in the United States. It moved into a new building designed by the French architect Jean Nouvel in 2006. The deep-blue exterior is decorated with photographs of past performers. The Endless Bridge, a cantilevered deck extending about 54 meters, and its yellow viewing windows are free for the public, offering views of the Stone Arch Bridge and the ruins of the mill. The theater stages Shakespeare classics and modern plays throughout the year. Tickets cost about $30 to $100. It is located on the riverfront in the Mill District, next to the Mill City Museum.
