Red Eye Theater, Experimental theater venue in Minneapolis, United States
Red Eye Theater is an experimental performance venue in Minneapolis that focuses on new artistic works. The space presents theater, dance, music, and interdisciplinary productions at an intimate scale.
The theater was established in 1983 by Steve Busa, Miriam Must, and Barbara Abramson as a space for emerging artists. A significant shift occurred in 2019 when the founding leaders stepped back and handed artistic direction to a broader team.
The venue serves as a gathering space where artists develop fresh work that might not find homes elsewhere. Visitors encounter dance, theater, and music that push boundaries and test new ideas in real time.
The venue sits in an accessible neighborhood and is easily reached by public transit or car. Check the schedule in advance since shows change frequently and some performances may require early arrival or have special entry procedures.
The venue operates under shared artistic direction by seven leaders rather than a single head, making the governance itself an experiment in collaboration. This structure influences the open-minded approach to the work that gets selected and developed.
