The Guthrie and Illusion Theater cancel performances due to COVID-19

Illusion Theater, which had planned to start its run of “The History of Religion” tomorrow, also pushed its opening night to July 15 after a positive case.

Flashback: This isn’t the first time COVID has disrupted the Guthrie’s return season.

• The theater’s January opening of "A Raisin in the Sun” was pushed to April 30, and the April-to-June production of “Destiny of Desire" was canceled entirely.

Yes, but: Interested theater-goers can watch a free, open-air Shakespeare show at Twin Cities parks this month, Station Eleven style.

• Traveling troupe Classical Actors Ensemble is performing “Love’s Labor Lost” tonight in Arden Hills, with seven more performances through July 17. Picnics encouraged.
