Doris Hines, Winter Carnival Musical Highlight 2025-26 History Theatre Season
History Theatre announced its 2025-26 Theater season, featuring a world premiere about the Minneapolis jazz singer Doris Hines, an adventurous new musical about the world of the St. Paul Winter Carnival, an exploration of local civil war history through compelling storytelling and Irish music, a brand new irreverent coming-to-age comedy about the Willmar Eight and a young woman’s obsession with Duran Duran and ending with a story of a lifelong friendship tested by political divide.
The 25-26 season will open with “Don’t Miss Doris Hines” about Doris Hines, a promising nightclub singer determined to establish a career in show business and the career she led here in MN and around the world.
During the holiday season you can take in a brand-new musical comedy adventure, “Rollicking! A Winter Carnival Musical” exploring the strange and wonderful world of the St. Paul Winter Carnival.
“Whoosh!”, A raucous, comical, emotionally gripping ghost story, will take the stage this winter.
“Hungry Like The Wolf,” a fast-paced, irreverent comedy blending personal narrative storytelling, sketch comedy, off-kilter game shows and totally tubular 80’s hits!
Finally, revisit a History Theatre classic, “Courting Harry.” Follow Minnesota natives Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger and Justice Harry Blackmun, best friends growing up in the same St. Paul neighborhood, who remained close despite their differing career paths, not to mention their often conflicting personal and political ideologies.
