Mixed Blood Theatre — Attraction in Minneapolis

One of the best entertainment experiences I've had. The ticket pricing options are great and provide a wonderful opportunity for low income patrons to enjoy live theater. The inclusiveness of this theater seems unparalleled. Multiple ASL interpreters and supertitles above the stage were provided for the hearing-impaired. They also had audio description services for those who have visual impairments and free transportation options as well. The people at Mixed Blood make a concentrated effort to have productions, cast and crew that represent a wide variety of folks, be it age, race, income, orientation, gender, etc. Beside all these great things, the production itself (How to Use a Knife by Will Snider) was a fantastic show that left my partner and I with all sorts of discussion on our way home. I can't wait to go back again for the next production...

FANTASTIC!! 100% accessible in that they do everything possible to accommodate any person that comes. They also are 100% affirming of all genders and have all gender bathrooms and are 100% accepting and embracing of all people. They really do talk the talk and walk the walk for being wonderful allies and accomplices in equity, justice and human rights advocacy. They hosted the Minneapolis Trans Voices Cabaret and it was absolutely beautiful and moving. I'm not a person who cries often and especially not in front of others. This show honestly I was in tears for most of it in a good way - I was also so glad they required masking for all - one for the overall health and respect of others but two because then people couldn't see I was crying lol. 100% this theater is amazing, beautiful and unique and everyone we encountered there...

We arrived 5 min late to our 5:30 showing due to extreme traffic. The man at the front (tall, balding) was extremely rude and dismissive. When I asked to use the bathroom, he said, “At this point, you might as well just skip the whole show.” Completely unacceptable. We had paid for our seats weeks in advance and this was a special event. I ended up having to leave 15 min in due to a health issue. A kind chaperone later let me upstairs without a problem—proving the front man’s behavior was unnecessary. I've been to every theater in Minneapolis and never been treated this way. Mixed Blood needs to address this. If your employees are not able to handle the most basic human needs of the audience and it's a familiar with the most fundamental etiquette you need to find somebody else, I won't be coming because of him....
