Fortune's Fool Theatre

Daniel Pinkerton & Ariel Leaf, artistic directors

For TWELVE 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 by the Minnesota Theatre Awards for BEST OVERALL DESIGN.

We are currently in the process of picking the play for our 2019 show, which will be produced in the fall. Help us mount another exciting, unheard of play (perhaps even a world premiere!) by giving generously on GIVE TO THE MAX DAY (November 15) at giveMN.org.
