Watch your fingers! The blade-like doors of the Minneapolis-St Paul Elevated Rail are razor-sharp, and the masses of swarming, indifferent crows are hungry. Who are you supposed to believe in this city of 44 million people? What kind of revolution wears a mask? And why should you care?

Now, they’ve been tasked with identifying sexual deviants among their ranks. There’s just one problem: Both Bob and Norma are gay, and have married each other’s partners as a carefully constructed cover.

In this Latté Da-commissioned world premiere, Willa Cather’s beloved novel is envisioned as an intimate celebration of resilience and the enduring strength of women. Featuring a sweeping indie folk score by The Kilbanes and an imaginative libretto by Noah Brody, this poignant adaptation traces the immigrant experience on the Great Plains at the turn of the 20th century through the eyes of the lifelong friendship between orphan boy Jim Burden and Ántonia Shimerda, daughter of a Bohemian immigrant family. My Ántonia offers a timely celebration of the contributions of immigrants to the nation’s identity and spirit as America marks its 250th anniversary. Rooted in the land and shaped by memory, this powerful work invites us to consider how we remember our past, and whose stories we choose to tell.

Local Playwright Craig Johnson’s very human adaptation breathes new life into Henrik Ibsen’s classic drama about a young wife and mother in 1879 small town Norway who is still very much a child herself. Ibsen, considered by many to be the father of modern drama, delivers a penetrating play about marriage, honesty and the obligation of the individual to oneself in this story of two people who are very much living in a doll’s house of their own creation.

Three Southeast Asian Girl Scouts are keeping their Saint Paul, MN, community together during the zombie apocalypse. Between helping their elders, doing food runs, and building campfires, they’ve probably earned, like, four Gold Awards each. This genre-bending world premiere is the finale of playwright Saymoukda Duangphouxay Vongsay’s Kung Fu Zombies trilogy, but all you need to know is that, for some reason, these zombies know kung fu.

Each season, we ask ourselves not only what work we are called to make, but what this moment demands of us. As artists and as a community, we carry a responsibility to respond—to listen closely, to reflect honestly, and to act with intention. At Latté Da, we believe music theater is uniquely capable of capturing the possibility as well as the needs of our time. It allows us to hold complexity, to honor contradiction, and to invite both reflection and connection. The works we gather this season are part of an ongoing conversation about who we are, what we carry, and what we are shaping together. With INDECENT, we turn to a story about artists determined to tell the truth in the face of suppression— an urgent reminder of the enduring relationship between art, censorship, and cultural memory. In ALL IS CALM: THE CHRISTMAS TRUCE OF 1914, we witness a moment of shared humanity that transcends division, offering a profound meditation on peace, even in the midst of conflict. LIZARD BOY invites us into a contemporary myth of identity and belonging, asking what it means to be seen—and to accept oneself—in a world that often resists difference. With the world premiere of SHE’S COME UNDONE, we embark on a deeply human journey of healing and self-reclamation, tracing one woman’s path toward acceptance, resilience, and the possibility of found family. And in collaboration with the University of Minnesota, SPRING AWAKENING provides a vital examination of young people coming of age within systems that seek to silence them—centering the urgency of listening to, and learning from, the next generation. Taken together, these works reflect a shared commitment: to engage with the present moment not by simplifying it, but by meeting it with curiosity, conviction, and care. They ask us to consider the impact of silence and voice, the necessity of empathy, and the role we each play in shaping a more just and expansive future. To gather in the theater is an act of trust. It is an opportunity to sit together in reflection, to encounter one another more deeply, and to be moved—perhaps even changed—by what we witness. We look forward to sharing that space and this season with you.
