Collide Theatrical Dance Company Announces 11th Season

Image of Collide's logo: the text "COLLIDE" in round lights with the words "Theatrical Dance Company" below

Collide Theatrical Dance Company’s 11th Season will feature an exciting lineup of innovative dance theater. All shows this year will be at the Luminary Arts Center.

In the fall, watch America’s most notorious outlaw couple come to life in our electrifying production of Bonnie & Clyde. These two small town kids were a pair of daring bank robbers and fugitive lovers destined for a date with death.

Collide’s “exhilarating adaptation” of Romeo & Juliet returns in February 2025 with fresh faces. Witness the intoxicating high of passion descend into brutal chaos in the greatest romance of all time. 

And taking off from last year’s sold-out limited run, the second installment of Broadway Dancin’ will feature brand new dances from some of Broadway’s biggest hits, including Pippin, Chicago, Carousel, An American in Paris…and more!

Collide will also bring back its hit production of Wonderland and tour the mental health–themed production to middle and high schools throughout Minnesota.

Season tickets are on sale now. Get yours and save money while reserving the best seats before tickets go on sale to the general public!

For questions, please email grace@collidetheatrical.org or call 651-395-7903, ext. 701.
