  3. DON’T MISS DORIS HINES


Doris Hines, a talented nightclub singer, relocates from Yonkers to Minneapolis with hopes of establishing her career while navigating the challenges of a troubled marriage and raising six children in a post-WWII America facing racism. Playwright TyLie Shider explores Hines' journey in a narrative that highlights her significance in the music world, memorialized by Nat King Cole's words to Ella Fitzgerald: "do NOT miss Doris Hines." This reading is part of History Theatre's Fall Raw Stages Festival, which showcases new works and encourages engagement with local playwrights and community discussions.

History Theatre entertains, educates, and engages through creating, developing, and producing new and existing works that explore Minnesota's past and the diverse American experience. Its work provides a unique lens which links our past to the present, explores our common heritage, and illuminates our understanding of what it means to be American. Since its founding in 1978 by Lynn Lohr and Lance Belville, the company has staged more than 100 world premieres, working with nationally recognized playwrights including Jeffrey Hatcher, Eric Simonson, Kevin Kling, Craig Wright, Frank McCourt, Doris Baizley, Melanie Marnich, Kim Hines, John Olive, and Kira Obolensky. From a harrowing slave journey to St. Paul in Adrift on the Mississippi to an urban musical celebration of the Twin Cities in Snapshots: Life in the City, from the rock 'n' roll biography Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story to the dark, complex A Piece of the Rope about Minnesota's first public execution, History Theatre has moved audiences to rediscover, relive, and respect every piece of their history.

History Theatre is at 30 East 10th Street, St.Paul, MN.
