Minnetonka Theatre Presents Winter Plays

It may be cold outside, but Minnetonka Theatre’s winter plays are guaranteed to warm you up! This winter season, Minnetonka Theatre will be performing two major plays: Circle Mirror Transformation and CLUE.

Circle Mirror Transformation
Circle Mirror Transformation, Minnetonka Theatre’s entry into this year’s Minnesota State One Act Competition, will be a free, public performance. This performance of Annie Baker's award-winning play will be followed by a brief talkback with the Director, cast and crew.

Circle Mirror Transformation is a story about the lives of a handful of small-town Vermont residents who gather each week for an acting class taught at the local community center. Hearts are quietly torn apart, and tiny wars of epic proportions are waged and won. It reverberates with seduction and sorrow until the play’s final devastatingly gentle scene.

Circle Mirror Transformation Details:

  • Date: January 28, 2022
  • Location: Arts Center on 7 – Main Stage (18285 Highway 7; corner of Highways 7 & 101)
  • Purchase Tickets: Free, no tickets or reservations required.

CLUE
Now, bring your game night to Minnetonka Theatre in February for CLUE, live on stage in our Studio Theatre! 

It’s a dark and stormy night, and you’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they’ll never forget! When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth – the butler, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? Based on the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, CLUE is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery, a comedy that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out…WHO did it, WHERE, and with WHAT!
