Workhaus Collective to Close Doors
Since 2006, the Workhaus Collective provided Minneapolis-based, nationally-emerging playwrights the opportunity to lead the productions of their most innovative, commercially-challenging ideas.

After its final production of 2016, the Workhaus Collective is voluntarily ceasing operation without debt.
