The Minutes

An evening in Big Cherry – a small town in anywhere, USA – and the city council meeting unfolds in real time, unmasking undercurrents that threaten to undo life as they know it … and driving the question, “How far would you go?” Award-winning playwright Tracy Letts’s (August: Osage County) new play was called one of the most thrilling on Broadway in recent years. Nominated as Best New Play by the Tony Awards and Outer Critics Circle in 2022, and for the Pulitzer Prize in drama, The Minutes is part biting comedy, part Hitchockian mystery, and at its dark heart an unflinching allegory about small-town politics and real-world power. "The Umbrella’s ‘The Minutes’ Is Sheer Perfection..." - Linda Chin, Theater Mirror "Intensely compelling...one of the best shows this season. [I]ngeniously staged by Edmiston...THE MINUTES is an allegorical masterpiece by Letts and one which would have probably made Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling proud...or jealous that he did not write it himself." - Kevin T. Baldwin, METRMAG “...both a political comedy and a wicked, methodically plotted horror show… It’s devilishly funny until it’s not. It is thrilling and essential theater …” - Variety “An important play, a visceral theatrical experience about what has happened to retail American democracy and how this nation decides which stories about itself it wants to believe.” - NY Daily News NOTE: The Minutes contains strong language, adult themes, mention of sexual assault, some ableist language and the use of a racial slur. The production also utilizes flashing, flickering and strobing lighting effects, and the use of theatrical haze and smoke. Student, Senior, and Group pricing available.
