Audacious Raw Theater - Year 9 - The Future Has an Ancient Heart

Description

Catherine Glynn’s A.R.T. (Audacious Raw Theater) and Lanesboro Arts proudly present year nine: The Future Has an Ancient Heart. Enjoy this year’s live devised theatre performance on Wednesday, August 6th at 7 pm at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center’s North Campfire ring.

It’s true…Audacious Raw Theater (A.R.T.) is entering its Ninth Year, and they’ve decided to take a few cues from the wild world around us and shake things up a bit! This year, rather than bringing in professional performing artists from around the country to devise and perform the work, Core Artists Catherine (Catie) Glynn and Jerome Yorke are proud to offer a fresh new perspective on devised theatre-making by casting our net to a different set of creators.

Leaning into the wisdom of our elders, ancient texts, and the ideas from retired business leaders from around the world who are searching for creative ways to leave their legacies for future generations–these materials will serve as the seeds Audacious Raw Theater will sow, with what they hope to be a Minnesota-based, and mostly Fillmore County-centric cast!

To that end, throughout July and the first week of August 2025, A.R.T. will offer workshops both online and in Lanesboro, centered on this year’s theme: The Future Has an Ancient Heart. These workshops will culminate in a devised theatre performance featuring Core Ensemble Members Catherine Glynn, Jerome Yorke, and Futurist Jack Uldrich…and a few more brave hearts and souls to join them for the one and only RAW performance on August 6th at 7 pm out at Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center’s North Campfire Ring.

In the event of rain, the performance will take place in the “Lower Lobby” of Eagle Bluff’s dormitory space. The performance will run approximately 70 minutes, followed by a campfire if conditions allow. Tickets are on sale now for $20 ($15 Lanesboro Arts Members).
