Founded as Theater Mu in 1992, Mu has come to be known for it unique blending of Asian and Western artistic forms in the expression of Asian and Asian American stories and music.<br/> <br/> Mu Performing Arts presents four shows annually &ndash; three mainstage Theater Mu productions combining traditional Asian and Western theater forms and utilizing both new works and recognized pieces from the standard canon of Asian theater &ndash; and one mainstage Mu Daiko concert. Artist Development Festivals, including Next Wave, New Eyes, and Passing the Beat, give experience to emerging directors, playwrights, and taiko students respectively; and our taiko classes held in our studio serve approximately 200 students between the ages of 8-65 annually. Finally, Mu's outreach programs and performances bring theater and taiko performances and residencies to schools, colleges, community organizations, and corporations throughout the upper Midwest.<p><strong>Theater Mu Public Outreach Performances<br> </strong> In addition to our mainstage productions, Theater Mu presents numerous outreach performances a year at area schools, businesses and community events.&nbsp; Come and see Theater Mu artists perform throughout the year! <br> <a href="outreach/theatermu">A schedule of public performances is available here.</a><br> <br> <strong>If you are interested in having a Theater Mu performance at your event contact Mu's <a href="outreach/contact">Outreach Director Susie Kuniyoshi online</a> or call Susie at 651-644-8645.</strong></p> en http://muperformingarts.org/Links <p> <font size="+2"><div> <p></div><img align="left" border="0" src="http://www.muperformingarts.org/images/Shows/FDSweb.jpg" /><a href="SeasonFY09">Next Season Has Been Announced!</a></font><div></div>We've announced our next season. &nbsp; Click <a href="SeasonFY09">HERE</a> to learn more!</p> <p>You can purchase Season Tickets now by clicking on the button below. &nbsp;$90 will get you 5 main stage shows including Flower Drum Song at the Ordway's McKnight Theater, our ever popular Mu Daiko performance, and a Taiko Party! &nbsp;Season ticket holders also get discounts on additional tickets. &nbsp; Buy your tickets now!</p> <p><center><a href="SeasonTix"><img border="0" src="https://www.muperformingarts.org/images/STD/buybutton.gif" /></center></a></p> Mu Performing Arts Theater Mu Wed, 09 Apr 2008 22:13:56 -0500 http://muperformingarts.org/Links3 <p><font size="+2"></p> <p> <img align="left" border="0" src="http://www.muperformingarts.org/images/Shows/DILweb.gif" /><a href="Fringe08">Mu in the Fringe Festival!</a></font></p> <p>Mu Performing Arts will be presenting <em>Dipped in Love</em> by Martha Johnson directed by Jennifer Weir and featuring actors Momoko Tanno and Maria Kelley.
