Make way for a new generation
It may not seem like it, but fall isn’t really an end — it’s a beginning. Those leaves crunching underfoot are making way for new growth that’s already started to emerge. So it goes, too, on the arts scene. The Twin Cities theater community, in particular, has been energized as veterans step aside to let budding talents shake up the status quo. Our annual section profiles a handful of these younger artists, starting with two women who are redefining what it means to be a theater leader. Meet them and seven other fresh faces — a poet, a TV actress, a tap dancer, a photographer, a Pixar star, a jazzman and a classical vocalist — while checking out our critics’ picks for the hottest tickets.
