PRIME PRODUCTIONS ANNOUNCES AMBITIOUS EIGHTH SEASON!

We are thrilled to unveil our first full season since the pandemic. This 2025-26 season will feature two full productions: Sarah Ruhl’s For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday and the world premiere of Abuelita by Nathan Yungerberg.

FOR PETER PAN ON HER 70TH BIRTHDAY By Sarah Ruhl

Directed by Miriam Monasch
October 11–26, 2025 (Previews October 9 & 10)

Mixed Blood Theatre, Minneapolis

This fantastical dramedy from acclaimed American playwright Sarah Ruhl follows adult siblings grappling with the passing of their father and their own identities as they age. With humor, heart, and a dash of magic, For Peter Pan on Her 70th Birthday explores memory, family, politics and the timeless struggle to “grow up.” Though it’s been produced in other cities, this will be its Twin Cities premiere.

ABUELITA
By Nathan Yungerberg
March 14–29, 2026 (Previews March 12 & 13)

The Capri, North Minneapolis

PRIME will next present the world premiere of Abuelita, by Playwrights’ Center Core Member, Nathan Yungerberg. It tells the story of Davia, a Midwestern grandmother who brings her mixed-race grandson to Spanish Harlem in 90’s NYC in hopes of connecting him with his heritage. In the process, they are enriched by their new neighbors, including three Latina women over 50, a street-savvy young girl and a gay man who teaches Davia to dance and reclaim her joy and sexuality. 

PRIME is leaning into its founding spirit!

“We’re a small theater with big ideas, and this season, we’re acting on them. It’s time to reframe the idea of what it means to be in your PRIME—not just as characters onstage, but as a company, and as artists. This season is about bold moves and heartfelt stories. That’s where we’re putting our energy.”
