Fortune's Fool Theatre

Daniel Pinkerton & Ariel Leaf, artistic directors

For THIRTEEN 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 have selected our our 2019 show. It will be another Midwest premiere of an exciting, offbeat, and relatively unknown play. It will be staged at the Gremlin Theatre in December and will feature Ariel in the lead role. We are bursting with excitement, and we will reveal our choice in June.
