Gremlin Theatre

Gremlin Theatre is a small, non-profit, professional theatre company based in St. Paul, Minnesota. Gremlin primarily performs actor-centered plays in the classic American style of realism, seeking, as their mission statement reads, "to provide artistically brilliant, accessible, and enjoyable theatrical experiences." [Sparber, Max; [http://citypages.com/databank/21/1041/article9147.asp "The Mission"] ; City Pages; Vol. 21, Issue 1041; 15 November 2000] Recently, Gremlin has turned its attention to producing new plays by local Twin Cities playwrights and to bringing Equity actors into their casts.
