NOW RUNNING! Mar 28 - May 11 / 7:30pm / Tues, Weds, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun
Becca and Howard Corbett have everything a family could want until the accidental death of their four-year-old son shatters the balance and leaves the couple drifting perilously apart. Their bittersweet, rich and funny journey through grief stuns with its honesty, candor, and complete lack of sentimentality, reminding us of the power of the human spirit to heal and get back to the business of living. Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Welcome to Whittier
Whittier is an active urban residential neighborhood just south of
downtown Minneapolis. It was the home of many of Minneapolis'
historical founders such as Dorilus Morrison the first Minneapolis
Mayor, the Pillsburys and Washburns. It's notoriety and distinction is
now linked to the internationally known Minneapolis Institute of Arts
(MIA) and the Children's Theatre, and a beautiful stretch of Nicollet
Avenue known as "Eat Street" with its diverse restaurants and
groceries. 15,000 residents represent 30 countries and speak 25
languages. The Whittier neighborhood is a historic and colorful mix of
artistic culture and ethnic cultures. It is truly "The International
Neighborhood" where diversity becomes community. The Whittier Alliance,
the officially recognized Citizen Participation organization for the
neighborhood, works with residents, businesses and governmental agencies
to further the common interests of the Whittier neighborhood. Learn more about Whittier and the Alliance now.
