I’m obsessed with the Guthrie. Not lowkey. Like, the highest key.
Last year, our Creative Arts & Writing Club took a trip to the theater to take in a tour and see Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap. As a former drama club president, it was easily one of the highlights of my first year back in school, so I am not exaggerating (okay, slightly) when I say I was counting down the days until the next one. Which was today.
We took another tour (even better the second time, next year I want to give one) and watched Sleuth, which was nothing like I had expected (and delightful for the subversion of said expectations).
I always get so energized after a visit here. It reminds me of all the years I spent onstage and backstage, which is both joyful and bittersweet; I really miss it some days, the dream of a gang of creative people working together to put on a show.
Anyway: so many thanks to the Guthrie. They’re amazing people and this is hands down my favorite theater. Much love to my club for being a good hang and a shout out to the Thai place across the street, Kindee, for feeding us well two years in a row. I know I technically won’t be a student next year but I am also very sneaky, so maybe I’ll find a way to take a third tour!
