REVIEW
Year in Review
In 2024, Hennepin Theatre Trust, now Hennepin Arts, assumed management and operations of its theaters to better position us to accelerate our efforts in revitalizing the vibrancy of the Hennepin Theatre District in downtown Minneapolis. We hosted the national tour launches of The Girl From the North Country and Clue at the Orpheum Theatre and announced the world premiere of Purple Rain at the State Theatre. We welcomed over 2,000 patrons for a Sensory Friendly Performance of Disney’s The Lion King and celebrated Andrea Mokros, our Board Chair, being named a 2024 Women in Business Honoree. Most significantly, we became Hennepin Arts, uniting our work in theater, education and community under a bold new brand.
