The Benefits of Being a Mill City Commons Member - An Ongoing Series

Dave and I became members of Mill City Commons(MCC) in January.  We joined for a number of reasons, including the ability to attend interesting member-only events, meet fascinating people, and to have more of a hands on role in helping with their various fundraising activities. 

Unfortunately, time constraints keep us from attending all the events we'd like to.   For example, Linnea Tweed, Executive Director at MCC, filled us in on a few we missed this past week:

"The Penumbra Theatre welcomed Mill City Commons members to their rehearsal on Thursday to watch Act 1 of their production of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom playing at the Guthrie February 11 through March 6. Artistic Director Lou Bellamy spoke before the rehearsal and provided valuable context for the show. It was a wonderful opportunity to hear about August Wilson and the play. Today, members enjoyed a hard hat tour of the Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts. It is a pretty amazing place."

The Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Artsis the former Minnesota Shubert Center for Performing Arts, now located at 528 Hennepin Avenue and currently being renovated.
