"Angry, Raucous & Shamelessly Gorgeous" at Penumbra Theatre - Celebrating 50 Years!

A grand dame of the theatre is returning to the U.S. for a career-defining comeback after decades abroad. Instead of a warm welcome, she finds herself usurped by a young performer stepping into her most famous role. This collision with a rival challenges her legacy, her politics, and her sense of self… and soon pulls her into a future bright with possibility.

Ultimately, the women realize rivalry is not as satisfying as sisterhood. From playwright Pearl Cleage (What Looks Like Crazy On An Ordinary Day), a jubilant meditation on ambition, friendship, and aging gracefully.

Only transfer of registrations after Feb 21st.

Founded in 1976 by award winning director Lou Bellamy, Penumbra is a nationally recognized organization housing Minnesota’s only Black professional theatre company. Penumbra has earned tremendous accolades, producing nearly 200 plays, over 30 premieres, and has cultivated generations of artists of color. Through our powerful art, we open hearts, rehearse strategies for change, and dispel dehumanizing narratives of people of color.

Today, under the leadership of Sarah Bellamy, Penumbra is evolving into its next life cycle: a performing arts campus and center for racial healing that nurtures Black artists, advances equity, and facilitates wellness for individuals and community. Our space will center the Black experience, learn from and support people of color who are not Black, and welcome white individuals interested in building resiliency and competency for racial equity and racial healing work. Penumbra will stand in solidarity with and support indigenous communities upon whose land the work is located.
