OUTDOOR PERFORMANCES GUIDELINES
Our summer tour includes performances in sprawling parks, nature centers, wineries, and farms all over Minnesota. Audiences are encouraged to bring a lawn chair, sunscreen, bug spray, and beverages for comfort and hydration. The performance lasts approximately 75-90 minutes. All shows are outdoors.
