About Productions
HARMONY Theatre was founded in 2004 and has created over fifteen theatre productions, several short films and a documentary film.We have staged two original plays based on World War II stories performed at Sabes JCC Theatre, an original children's mystery, numerous fairy tales based on world folklore and more. Many of our productions have multi-generational casts.
We also bring our actors on tours to perform. We have participated at the Lake Superior Renaissance Faire in Ironwood, Michigan, in the Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival in Canada, and in the Minnesota Fringe Festival here locally.
Most, if not all, of HARMONY’s performances focus on enhancing public understanding of different cultures and historic events, and focus on the value of mutual understanding and cooperation
In our school we offer
classes in acting, dance, and music. HARMONY has developed a unique curriculum that incorporates numerous acting games and professional theatre activities to awaken the inner artist in any student joining HARMONY’s classes.These classes help him/her develop the skills needed to be a successful performer on stage and a self-confident person in everyday life.
At HARMONY, we really enjoy working with people of all ages and bringing the magic of theatre, thrill of the stage, and joy of creativity to their lives!
Community Outreach
The company has organized programs and activities in various settings in the Twin Cities.These activities have included working with high school students at Armstrong High School in Plymouth and in Bloomington Public Schools.
We have also organized programs for pre-school children at several private daycare centers and a special program for seniors at the Heartland Adult Daycare Center in Golden Valley.
HARMONY’s sessions included dramatic storytelling and improvisations.
HARMONY Theatre has also teamed up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities to create a series of improv workshops for child-adult participants. By utilizing elements of improvisation and Harmony's program of acting training, the workshops aim to help kids improve their communication skills, gain confidence, have a great time, and take what they learn from the stage into their everyday lives!
