Upcoming shows
Constancy
by Neith Boyce • Directed by Chad Snyder
Applause is returning to this year's Minnesota Association of Community Theatres (MACT) Fast*Fest—a celebration of theater, storytelling, and the community that brings them to life. A witty and remarkably modern one-act written in 1915, Constancy explores love, fidelity, and personal freedom with a voice that still resonates more than a century after it was written.

Macbeth

Nothing Left to Burn
by Brock Ray
Developed through Applause Community Theatre's Script Development Program, Nothing Left to Burn marks the debut full-length play of Minnesota playwright Brock Ray. Set in the corporate sales office of Hell, this bleak workplace drama explores burnout, ambition, and the cost of success through the eyes of the demons closing contracts for human souls.
