Hennepin Theatre Trust
Hennepin Theatre Trust is a nonprofit organization established in 2002. Recognized as leader of arts and culture and economic development in downtown Minneapolis, we bring value to the community through our three theatres, our home at 900 Hennepin, and our growing portfolio of collaborative partnerships. Annually, our organization brings more than 600,000 people downtown to enjoy a range of activities and attractions. We are committed to transforming the community in which we do business, and that includes transforming YOUR experience every time you visit. We accomplish this by: • Bringing the best of Broadway, international, national and local entertainment to our stages • Connecting more people to unexpected art experiences, like the iconic Bob Dylan mural and our art-in-underused spaces project, Made Here • Enlivening downtown Minneapolis with our ambitious renovation of the 900 Hennepin (will link to “900 Hennepin” page) building • Enhancing our community offerings through education and access programs that bring arts and culture to more people • Strengthening our partnerships with businesses, organizations, local leaders and others to bring more “wow” to your downtown experience We are thankful for everyone who visits our theatres and supports our programs. We also invite you to explore more of what downtown Minneapolis has to offer each time you visit.
