Jungle Theater

Our Mission

Founded in 1991 in a South Minneapolis storefront space, the Jungle Theater quickly established a loyal following and has received critical acclaim ever since. Long before the trend began, the Jungle demonstrated how the arts can be a catalyst for neighborhood revitalization. In 1999 the theater moved into its permanent home, an intimate 148-seat space across the intersection from its original location. Along with its reputation for artistic excellence, the Jungle is prized by artists (playwrights, actors, designers) for supporting their development and providing access to career-defining opportunities. Christina Baldwin was named Artistic Director in April 2021.
