The Guthrie Theater opened on May 7, 1963, with a production of Hamlet directed by Sir Tyrone Guthrie, the theater’s founder. The idea of the theater began in 1959 during a series of conversations among Guthrie and other idealists who were disenchanted with the commercialism of Broadway. They set to find a community that would be committed to supporting a non-profit theater company that would produce great works of literature, cultivate artists’ talents, and nourish its audiences.
