Mixed Blood Theatre Review

Its in an old firestation and has an amazing open feel.

My teen has performed here- a popular local theatre offering a large diversity of programming that is hard to find in the bigger theatre's!! Great topics, great staff- we are lucky to have them!!

Doors Open Mpls 2019:
Took a guided tour of this rather unique theater. Pretty involved staff & volunteers.

Well done, we'll done. Also love the old firehouse building.

Great productions and free parking. Close to many cafes and great restaurants!

Small theatre. The new set makes unusual use of the stage.

The stage was alright, however the place smells strongly of urine

Fresh and dynamic productions that champion diversity. Fanstastic!

I've seen the group blackout here and I enjoy the theatre. I like the flexibility they have with the staging

Exceptional and diverse theatre choices. A must see twin cities theatre venue.

Always quality work. Admirable commitment to local community.

2nd time to Mixed Blood and continue to be impressed by the production quality and selection of plays. Everyone should go!

Small intimate venue great talent excellent story telling

Gorgeous venue! Very nice feel inside and a great setup.

Your never open? And if u are it's late late like vamparish late.

Saw "Not Fair My Lady" during the 2018 Fringe Fest - great show, great theatre!

High quality, thought-provoking theater with a very welcoming vibe!

Mixed Blood offers some of the most accessible and poignant theatre in the Twin Cities. Amazing.

Interesting venue, poor signage from the street, but great lighting and sound.

We went to a show called "The Sun Serpent" a few months ago as part of a Spanish field trip, and it was incredibly well done! They do a wonderful job with not only the acting but the entire experience! Completely recommended!

Small theater space that packs a big punch! Never disappointed when seeing the shows there.

Wonderful theatrical venue. The shows and atmosphere were both fantastic! Definitely recommend

The mixed blood theatre is doing some great plays. I saw Colosal which is a very dramatic love story of a football player and a snap decision that changed his life. Very well written and produced. This is a good small theatre that is completely assessable to all walks of life, whether you can't hear or are short on money.

Mixed Blood is amazing! They offer free tickets to their solid productions that center on important issues and topics in our communities. Truly a theatre for the community.

Went here to watch a Spanish play, "Corazon Eterno". Play was excellent and was in two languages. Theater was a little tight but we made do. There were subtitles in Spanish and English for those who only knew one of the other languages. Actors were very professional.

Great community theater. Came here for a volunteer orientation. I think its great that they allow other organizations to use their space.

Every performance I've seen here has been thoughtful, provocative, engaging and we'll acted. I love the atmosphere and the neighborhood too.

I love Mixed Blood! They are a solid theater in the Twin Cities and now home to Blackout Improv. Easily one of the most funny comedy troupes in the Cities. If you haven't checked them out yet, you must put it on your list. $10 on the third Monday of each month. It's very good fun!

The Mixed Blood Theatre is a fantastic, intimate theatre that is utilized for the MN Fringe Festival and original theatrical performances of local and national companies. Quality performances should be expected from this Twin Cities gem.
Enjoy your future experiences!

The play Pippin at Theatre 55 was great. Parking was a bear; we had to walk forever but oh well!

Mixed Blood is great! The performance space is big enough to fit plenty of audience members with the stage, but small enough that the performances are very intimate. I enjoyed the show a lot, and the selection of concessions in the lobby was pretty good as well. I had a great conversation with the folks at the planned parenthood booth at the showing as well. All of the Mixed Blood staff were very welcoming.

Saw a Fringe show here and it was a great venue for it. From the outside I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's what's on the inside the counts!

I am consistently impressed by every performance I see here. Also, the work Jack is doing to make theater accessible (both by choosing shows that call for a diverse cast and via his program of radical hospitality) is truly a game changer. Mixed Blood is a theater to pay attention to, and others in the community should follow their lead.

Saw the play HAIR performed by a cast all over 50 years of age. A very intimate place to see a performance not a bad seat in the house. Parking can be a bit challenging, but this is a classic theater that has been around for many decades. If you have never been, this is a Minneapolis bucket list item!

Mixed Blood Theatre puts on amazing shows. Performances that are unlikely to be seen elsewhere. I strongly recommend that you follow and support this unique organization.

I have seen two shows so far and each has been an amazing production with talented, young actors!

This theatre is wonderful. The space, the location, the shows are all great. Their radical hospitality program makes the space inviting in a way that pay-what-you-can-nights never will. They also offer a great membership for younger adults, and events and discussions alongside their shows.

Interstate is a beautiful, thought provoking show that explores queer asian identity and nuances of toxic masculinity. Very intimate show seating (~100 seats). Beautiful singing and performance that felt affirming in many ways.

Super cool seeing a bilingual show. Don't worry if you're not fluently bilingual, there is subtitles.

Mixed Blood presents high quality theater on important social topics.

Very interesting place. Great sight lines. Great sound. The parking is a bit tough. Many great restaurants in the area. A classic building. Saw HAIR there a few weeks ago. Most cast members were over 55! A great place. You will enjoy the place if you have never been. Go early to get a good parking place.

Nice and Friendly STAFF. Diverse employees, there r And i encountred BESIDES Englis. Ther are several other LANGUAGES spoke by the the Employees. Just to name those i am sure of r ss follows. Somalia , 'swahili, Spanish and a couple of other West African LANGUAGES. But honestly speaking the sercice is Fast. I go there frequently and dont have an account with them. Which I will definitely soon as I close my current bank, which I had several yrs from another state. For the propose of DIRECT BILLING N I MEAN QUITE A FEW DIRECT PAYS BILLS N DONT WANT CHANGE. SOME OF THEM R ALL BUT DONE WITH THEM. I HAVE REFERED BOUT 6 PEOPLE AND CURRENT ALL BANKING AND SAY PRETTY MUCH SAMETHIN. JUST PROVING ME HAHAHA.

Always thought provoking theater in a fun old fire house. Everything I have seen here over the years has been excellent.

Love it. Great space to see amazing theatre. General seating, so come early if you like a particular spot to sit and watch, since there are no assigned seats. And big ups to the facilities for having gender inclusive bathrooms

Amazing performances at relatively inexpensive prices. Is god is was one of the best productions I ve seen in a long time

Cool little theatre in an old fire house. Radical hospitality!

Amazing venue, amazing value, amazing performance, I loved it!

An eclectic theater. Comfortable seating. Clean. Clean all-gender bathrooms.

People are their watching your every move, they came at me and my guy. Thinking we wasn't going to buy anything, made us feel uncomfortably.

My wife had read a review in the StarTrib of "The Song of Summer" at Mixed Blood theater. My wife was enthused, and I trusted her, but had no expectations.
It was a comedy by Lauren Yee, and was laugh-out-loud funny, well done, by good group of actors, and had a good story-line.
We've been there before, but it had been a while. The staff, besides the cast are so enthusiast about local theater. We'll be back sooner.

Saw Curious incident of the dog in the nighttime and it was soooo good! I especially loved how they used dim lighting and subdued sounds to be mindful of people who are affected by loud sounds and flashing lights. It's great to see a place center the people who the art focuses on (in this case those with autism)

One of the best entertainment experiences I've had. The ticket pricing options are great and provide a wonderful opportunity for low income patrons to enjoy live theater. The inclusiveness of this theater seems unparalleled. Multiple ASL interpreters and supertitles above the stage were provided for the hearing-impaired. They also had audio description services for those who have visual impairments and free transportation options as well. The people at Mixed Blood make a concentrated effort to have productions, cast and crew that represent a wide variety of folks, be it age, race, income, orientation, gender, etc. Beside all these great things, the production itself (How to Use a Knife by Will Snider) was a fantastic show that left my partner and I with all sorts of discussion on our way home. I can't wait to go back again for the next production this season.

The show was great. The staff friendly. Will come back

Excellent theater!!! Plays indicate true diversity. I love this place and will always visit it when I am in the area.

Radical hospitality here, meaning every ticket, unless you call and make a reservation, is FREE. just go to the box office an hour before show time, wait in line and pick up FREE TICKETS. ALL SHOWS. FREE TICKETS.
