Description

- Main Stage Theatre: Shows with a social justice focus. Naked Stages provides a mentorship opportunity for early career performance artists in Minnesota. - Chicago Avenue Project: Features two performances each year, spring and winter, where kids and their adult acting mentors star in 10-minute plays written just for them by adult playwrights, and kids and their adult playwriting mentors write 10-minute plays that are performed by adult actors. - Breaking Ice: A diverse company of professional actors portrays real-life situations that are customized to meet the goals, needs, and culture of each unique organization that PUC serves. Performances blend drama, music, poetry, movement, and humor in a series of dynamic scenes to explore how systemic inequities, implicit bias, and common misperceptions show up in relationships, creating uncomfortable interactions that inhibit innovation, motivation, and productivity in the workplace. Following the performance, trained facilitators lead the group in a reflective discussion to deepen awareness and practice exploring the tough stuff together.
