Theatre with Friends

Turn a night at the theatre into an educational experience! Theatre With Friends is great for all groups – from quilting groups and 4-H clubs to reunions, business conferences, retreats, and holiday parties.

Theatre With Friends will provide your group of 10 or more with the following:

  • Discounted tickets to the play of your choice
  • Study guides to prepare you for what you’ll see on stage
  • A pre-show workshop tailored to the needs and interests of your group
  • A post-show talk-back with the cast

To schedule your event, contact box office manager Stela at (800) 657-7025 x212 or stela@commonwealtheatre.org.

Master Classes

As a resident company in a rural area, we appreciate the intimate connection we have to our community. We also know we are at a risk of becoming too comfortable in our artistic vision and goals, causing our productions to lose the vitality our patrons cherish in live theatre. Participating in company classes taught by visiting artists keeps company members and students actively practicing their craft and learning new skills.

Previous guest instructors include Jamie Horton (Denver Center Theatre Company), Charlie Oates (University of California-San Diego), Heidi Hunter Batz (Pillsbury House Theatre), Robert Larson (Luther College) and Luverne Seifert (University of Minnesota).
