Samuel Beckett's groundbreaking play, Waiting for Godot, comes to the Guthrie Theater. This production offers a chance to see one of the 20th century's most significant works of absurdist theater. It's a challenging and thought-provoking piece, exploring themes of human existence, hope, and the passage of time through the story of two tramps endlessly waiting for a mysterious figure. This Wednesday, October 7, 2026, matinee performance takes place on the Guthrie's Wurtele Thrust Stage in Minneapolis, MN. The thrust stage setup offers an intimate theatrical experience, bringing the audience closer to the action. It's a compelling choice for anyone interested in classic drama, philosophical theater, or the enduring legacy of modern playwriting.
