Fortune's Fool Theatre

Daniel Pinkerton & Ariel Leaf, artistic directors

For FOURTEEN YEARS Fortune’s Fool Theatre has been dedicated to exposing Twin Cities audiences to unfamiliar theatrical works, with an emphasis on Minnesota writers. With imagination and verve, we produce world premieres and plays that are rarely performed in the Twin Cities. Our production of Caryl Churchill's masterpiece THE SKRIKER (2018) was our biggest, wildest production ever. It garnered rave reviews, attracted enthusiastic audiences, and was honored at the 2018 Minnesota Theatre Awards for BEST OVERALL DESIGN.

Fortune's Fool has been awarded a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council in support of our production of DOG ACT, a post-apocalyptic vaudeville by Liz Duffy Adams. This Midwest premiere will be performed at Gremlin Theatre from December 7-22. For more information, see "What We're Doing."
