June 2025

You’ve come to know Little Theatre Auditorium as a music & performance venue, a theatrical stage, a cocktail espresso bar, and open artmaking auditorium. We work hard to live up to our motto: make art an everyday experience for everyone.  

 

We are so proud to be seen and counted as friend, ally, collaborator and host to so many Minnesota arts-aligned organizations. 

This month, we thank the organizations below for their support and friendship!

 

Bethany Lacktorin welcomes Activate Rural to LTA for a tour, history and Q&A around the evolution of LTA since 2019. We talked about everything from lighting systems to ticket sales, building permits to program mascots. It was a pleasure to spend time with these inspirational community leaders!

We are honored to be part of this storytelling project that “highlight[s] celebrations alongside political organizing to show that parties have shaped our history as much as protests, and that joy has been a crucial element of our identities.” Click to explore this extraordinary tour of  Minnesota Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ history.

Last summer LTA brought you weekly - live - free music in Neer Park and it was a huge hit! 

This year we're doing things a little different. We'll be presenting live - free music once a month in Neer Park BUT BIGGER! Every show has a theme, guests are encourgaged to dress up and get get down, and we'll feature additional fun attractions too!
