Guthrie Adds Additional Seats to Accomodate 'Little House' Sales

In an effort to accommodate ticket demand for Little House on the Prairie, the Guthrie today announced that it has added 12 unique seats to the second balcony, in an area normally reserved for technicians and production staff. Due to the nature of this location, the Guthrie will offer these 12 tickets for purchase by patrons in the rush line only. These rush seats offer an unobstructed view of the stage and will be sold prior to each remaining performance – $20 weeknights and matinees, $25 Fridays and Saturdays – guaranteeing that an additional 12 Prairie fans per performance will get the opportunity to see this sold-out production.

Rush lines for Little House on the Prairie typically begin forming at least 90 minutes prior to curtain, so patrons are encouraged to arrive early in order to secure their place in line. There is a limit of one ticket per person, cash and check only.

An American story sings in Minneapolis as the Guthrie presents the world premiere production of Little House on the Prairie, through October 19, 2008 on the McGuire Proscenium Stage. For more information on these special rush tickets, call the Guthrie Box Office at 612.377.2224 or visit www.littlehousethemusical.com

The Guthrie production of Little House on the Prairie is sponsored by Target and is being produced by special arrangement with Global Prairie Productions, Inc.

About the Musical

Though their De Smet, South Dakota, farmstead comes with many new challenges, the Ingalls family perseveres through the hardships of pioneer life to find hope, love and the promise of a new beginning in a land of endless sky and open prairie.

Forced to grow up quickly, she follows an unexpected calling, becoming a teacher and finding love on the prairie.
