On Thursday, life returns to two well-known theaters in Minneapolis.

Theatergoers will be walking through the doors at the Guthrie and Orpheum and filling the seats inside for the first time in 18 months.

The Guthrie Theater lost around $28 million in revenue by shutting its doors for as long as it had to during the pandemic. The theater also laid off 80% of its staff.
