I believe that music reaches the core of our being and can play a vital role in nourishing hope, love and strength, particularly when performed at an extremely high artistic level and in a friendly, relaxed setting.

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.

Gateway Association is an organization that works with individuals who have developmental disabilities as well as their families. Gateway was incorporated in 1975 by a group of parents.

Gateway envisions a community where all children grow within a family; all children learn together in neighborhood schools; all adults work at real jobs in the community; all adults will have a real home and real friends; and all people are valued, contributing members of their communities.
