Hennepin Theatre Trust Presents THE BROADWAY CAST REUNION SERIES

Hennepin Theatre Trust announced today that it is bringing the best of behind-the-scenes Broadway to your screens with The Broadway Cast Reunion Series. The lineup of events features up close and personal conversations with the casts of the hottest shows on Broadway including Hadestown on Wednesday, Feb. 24, The Lion King on Wednesday, March 10 and Dear Evan Hansen on Wednesday, March 24. All shows are at 7 p.m. CT. Each cast event will be livestreamed with on-demand video available after the show.

The Broadway Cast Reunion Series gives audiences a chance to do what they may never have done before: visit "backstage" with the cast and creators to hear personal, hilarious, unscripted stories and gossip - as they really let their hair down. Viewers can even ask questions through the chat feature.

The Trust also announced it is collaborating again with theater organizations throughout Greater Minnesota to co-present streaming entertainment by world-class artists that brings programming to communities throughout the region. Joining the Trust to present The Broadway Cast Reunion Series are Central Lakes Community Performing Arts Center (Brainerd), Fine Arts Programming at College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University (St. Joseph, Collegeville), Historic Holmes Theatre (The Detroit Lakes Community and Cultural Center), Sheldon Theatre of Performing Arts, (Red Wing) and University of North Dakota Chester Fritz Auditorium (Grand Forks, ND)

Tickets for the events in The Broadway Cast Reunion Series (Hadestown and Dear Evan Hansen casts) are on sale now to the general public at HennepinTheatreTrust.org. Proceeds from ticket sales will help the Trust and participating theaters support their mission of creating positive change through the arts.
