Visiting Community Artists
Visiting Community Artists at Park Square Theatre
Park Square Theatre proudly opened its doors to local and visiting theatre companies, offering a vibrant, professional space for performances, workshops, and events. Our commitment to supporting the broader Twin Cities arts community is reflected in our long-standing tradition of welcoming diverse voices to our stages.
Who Are Visiting Community Artists?
Visiting Community Artists are independent theatre companies and performance groups that bring their unique productions to Park Square. These organizations rent our spaces to present their own work, adding to the rich cultural landscape of the Twin Cities. While these productions take place in our venue, they are not produced by Park Square Theatre unless otherwise noted.
Attending a Community Artist Production
Please note that Park Square Theatre does not handle ticketing or inquiries for Visiting Community Artist productions. Each company manages its own box office and customer service. For ticket purchases, schedules, and additional details, please refer to the links provided for each individual event.
We are excited to continue serving as a hub for artistic collaboration, offering a stage for both established and emerging theatre makers. Thank you for supporting the arts in our community!
Upcoming Visiting Community Artists at Park Square
The Ferryman - UMN BFA Acting Class
The Ferryman - An epic family drama
by Jez Butterworth | directed by Bruce Roach
Presented by the BFA Acting Class of 2025
April 24-27, 2025 : Park Square Proscenium Theatre
A Minnesota Debut.
Winner of the 2019 Tony Award for Best Play, The Ferryman tells the story of a family living in 1980 Ireland during the uprising of the provisional Irish Republican Party. Northern Ireland, 1981. It is a war-weary time in the long-brewing Irish sectarian conflict known as “The Troubles”. The Carney farmhouse in rural County Armagh is a hive of activity with preparations for the annual harvest. A day of hard work on the land and a traditional night of feasting and celebrations lie ahead. This year they will be interrupted by a visitor, awakening generations of unspoken truths and well-kept family secrets. The air is thick with tension and despair. The Carney home is full of life and bustling with energy, idyllically removed on the surface but simmering just beneath.
Age Recommendation: 14+
Content Advisory: The Ferryman contains strong language, sexual content, and acts of violence.
Runtime: Approximately 3 hours including one intermission.
