The Minutes

Written by Tracy Letts, Directed by Curtis Barber, Regional Premiere

SINGLE TICKETS & SUBSCRIPTIONS ON SALE JULY 1

Nominated for best play for the 2022 Tony Awards, The Minutes is a biting political satire infused with dark humor, offering a sharp, humorous, and timely critique of power dynamics, political corruption, and the manipulation of history.

Set during a council meeting in the small, fictional town of Big Cherry, Illinois, a group of local politicians and officials convenes to address seemingly routine, mundane matters. As the meeting unfolds, however, unexpected and unsettling truths about the town’s past and the people in charge begin to surface. With Pulitzer Prize-winning Letts’ signature mix of sharp humor and mounting tension, The Minutes delivers an urgent and engaging reflection on how even the smallest political systems reflect and influence larger power structures.
