Wealhouse will expand the Commonweal’s mission in bold new ways. There are many plays which we have been eager to share with you over the seasons, but we couldn’t find a place for them on our main stage. Wealhouse creates that place. Wealhouse will allow us to explore different voices and stories and tell them in a variety of settings, reinforcing Lanesboro’s identity as an arts campus, and giving each story a place that deepens its meaning for our audience. Most importantly, the Commonweal will use Wealhouse to explore broader horizons with you, our family of patrons. Welcome to the adventure!

PLEASE NOTE: MDC members and Season Pass holders receive a $5 discount to Wealhouse productions.
