My wife and I will be moving to Minneapolis shortly, and I would like to buy season tickets (or, at least, a ticket package) for a theater company in the area. The Guthrie seems like an obvious choice, but I'd like to know what else is out there. We're not particularly into musicals, so that might help narrow the field a little bit. And though we're not opposed to new productions with a modern flavor, we're not looking for hyper-experimental/conceptual stuff either.

Anyone got some recommendations? I'd love to hear them.

I'd recommend you spend some time checking out a variety of playhouses before you commit to a season ticket for one particular venue. The Guthrie is a great theater and they offer a variety of plays in their various theaters

I'd also recommend you look into:

The Jungle Theater (located in the Lyn-Lake area)
:: THE JUNGLE THEATER ::

Illusion Theater
Welcome to Illusion Theater | Illusion Theater

Park Square Theater (in downtown St. Paul)
Park Square Theatre : Plays & Tickets : Buy Tickets

The Hennepin Trust Group stages productions at the historic Hennepin Avenue Theaters
Hennepin Theatre Trust | Hennepin Theatre Trust

I'm sure I'm missing several--hopefully someone else can add.

Not forgetting the Fitzgerald (which hosts A Prairie Home Companion most weekends) and the Ordway in downtown St Paul. The State Theatre on Hennepin is quite good too.

My favorite venue is the Mixed Blood Theatre - small, intimate setting, wonderfully diverse audience and first rate plays with multi-cultural themes. Great stuff!

I really love the Southern Theater. I go there fairly frequently to see performances.
