For over 35 years, Minneapolis-based Illusion Theater has been using the power of live theater to catalyze personal and social change. People are still talking about the superb production of Willa Cather’s “My Antonia” that Illusion brought to the Newhall stage in 2011. This year they bring “Bill W. & Dr. Bob” a universal human story of the dangers of isolation and the healing power of fellowship. In 1929, famous New York stockbroker Bill Wilson crashes with the stock market and becomes a hopeless drunk. Dr. Bob Smith, a surgeon from Ohio, has also been an alcoholic for 30 years, ofter going into the operating room with a hangover. Through an astonishing series of events, Bill W. and Dr. Bob meet and form a relationship, helping to keep each other sober. “Bill W. and Dr. Bob” is an amazing and often amusing account of the two men who pioneered Alcoholics Anonymous, as well as the story of their wives, who founded Al Anon.

The Commonweal Theatre Company of Lanesboro, Minnesota produces one of Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s plays each year and remains the only theatre company in North America with such a commitment. Known as the father of modern drama, Henrik Ibsen is considered one of the world’s greatest playwrights. His ability to turn revolutionary philosophical ideas into brilliant social dramas inspired the likes of other modern playwrights. This year, Commonweal takes Ibsen on tour with one of his most notable plays, A Doll’s House (1879). Controversial in its time, the drama criticizes the traditional roles of women and men in 19th Century marriage.
