HISTORY OF THE LAB THEATER: The Lab Theater was built for the Guthrie and opened in 1988 as the Guthrie Laboratory Theater. Quickly becoming known as “The Lab”, this space was envisioned by Garland Wright (the Guthrie’s artistic director) as a home for experimental work, a place to try out new ideas. With the opening of the Guthrie’s spectacular new home on the river in 2006, The Lab has evolved into an "indie" theatrical space - widely coveted by artists, filmmakers and musical acts across the country.
