Sod House Theater

FARM is a meditation on the history of Farming in Minnesota. This site-specific, immersive performance was created by Carleton students in collaboration with Sod House Theater. The production will feature sweeping images of historical and modern farm life through music, dance, theater and performing artists from the Twin Cities and the local community. The production illuminates just a small portion of the history of Minnesota farming and hopes to inspire reflection on the future of farming, the accessibility of fresh food for all Minnesotans, and our relationships with farmers in our state. FARM features snippets of Minnesota’s vast history of farm life: hard work, family meals, community celebrations, dangerous storms, dance and play culminating in a music-filled ghost grove honoring the past, present and the future of farming in Minnesota.

Don and Myrna love to create imaginative adventures in the backyard of their 1-bedroom rental unit in Des Moines. They travel the world and eat in the finest restaurants, stay at 5 star resorts after their long days working at the box store and Movie theater. When their vacation is interrupted, it is up to Don to steer the cruise ship back on course.
