The Lehman Trilogy at the Guthrie Theater presents a sweeping generational saga that spans 170 years of American history, focusing on the rise and fall of the Lehman brothers, from their arrival in New York to the firm’s collapse in 2008. Directed by Arin Arbus, this production features Edward Gero as Henry Lehman, Mark Nelson as Mayer Lehman, and William Sturdivant as Emanuel Lehman, collectively portraying over 50 characters. The adaptation by Ben Power of Stefano Massini’s play highlights themes of ethics, power, and the American dream, creating an intricate narrative that invites reflection on the complexities of success and failure. Previews begin September 14, with an official opening on September 19.

The Guthrie Theater opened on May 7, 1963, with a production of Hamlet directed by Sir Tyrone Guthrie, the theater’s founder. The idea for a different kind of theater sparked in 1959 during a series of conversations among Guthrie, an acclaimed theater director, and his two colleagues, Oliver Rea and Peter Zeisler, who were all disenchanted with Broadway. They envisioned a resident theater that would draw world-class artists to perform the classics with the highest professional standards. What began as a summer season of four productions supported by a minimal staff is now a complex organization that serves nearly 350,000 patrons and the Twin Cities community year-round.
