Item Description
As the Northwest's first professional theatre, the Old Log was originally a summer stock company which opened in 1940 in a log stable. Thirteen shows were presented in thirteen weeks at that time. Don Stolz joined the company in 1941 as and actor and resident director and purchased the theatre company in 1946. During the next two decades the Old Log Theatre established a loyal following and received widespread critical acclaim for its area premieres of such classic plays as ARSENIC AND OLD LACE, THE GLASS MENAGERIE, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, TIME OF YOUR LIFE and LOOK HOMEWARD ANGEL. In 1960 a new theater was built adjacent to the original theatre and the operation became year-round. In addition to main stage productions of contemporary plays and musicals, the theatre also produces children show productions during the summer and holiday season. Over the decades, the Old Log has had a substantial impact on the Twin Cities theatre scene, establishing a reputation for quality productions and featuring many fine actors and actresses who have come from around the country and who are members of Actors' Equity Association, including such notable names as Nick Nolte, Loni Anderson, Lois Nettleton and Steve Zahn. The Old Log is now one of the longest continuously running theatre companies in the nation. It was recently purchased by Marissa and Greg Frankenfield, who look forward to continuing the legacy built by Don Stolz and his family for over 74 years. Kent Knutson now serves as the artistic director.
