Red Eye Theater
Red Eye Theater is a multidisciplinary creative laboratory dedicated to the development and presentation of new theater and performance work in Minneapolis, Minnesota. It was founded in 1983 by writer/director Steve Busa, performer Miriam Must and visual artist Barbara Abramson.
Branching out from a theatrical base to support a wide range of programming, Red Eye is home to theater, dance, music, performance art, and interdisciplinary forms. Each year Red Eye presents two company productions, the New Works 4 Weeks festival, and co-sponsored projects by local companies and independent artists.
New Works 4 Weeks is a multidisciplinary festival that is the culminating public component of a six-month development program geared toward emerging artists engaged in the investigation of new directions.
Red Eye has received major funding from the Jerome Foundation, the McKnight Foundation, Target Corporation, the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, the Minnesota State Arts Board, the Clean Water Land & Legacy Amendment, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
