Bedlam Theatre’s Mission is to produce radical works of theater with a focus on collaboration and a unique blend of professional and community art.

Throughout it's first decade Bedlam cultivated a distinctive aesthetic combining an overtly playful performance style with low-tech spectacle, bold visuals, experimental absurdism, both cuttingly-direct and nonsensically-obtuse satyric barbarism, socio-political imagination, and usually some live music.

Today, Bedlam provides a steady diet of original, avant-garde for Minneapolis and regional audiences. Bedlam Productions vary from 5mins to Full Length and evolve through creative processes that can last 2 weeks to 10 years. As a venue Bedlam supports a year-round calendar of local, national and international artists, in theater, dance, music, puppetry, performance art and more. And as artists, we try new things, so that no year in fourteen has ever been exactly like the last.
