Collide Theatrical Announces 10th Season

Collide Theatrical Dance Company announces its Tenth Anniversary Season, featuring an exciting lineup of innovative dance theater.

The 2023/2024 season opens in September with The Great Gatsby. Originally produced by Collide in 2018, the company will present an updated version in 2023. Re-imagined through a modern lens, this timely tale explores the dark underbelly of the American dream, a story no less poignant a century later.

In February 2024, Collide will stage the world premiere of Hollywood, which tells the compelling and hopeful story of a Hollywood starlet and a political eco-activist struggling for survival in a climate-ravaged near-future California.

Collide continues its tradition of spotlighting underrepresented voices with the next installment of their St. Paul–based cabaret series. In the show, titled Journeys, Collide Theatrical dancers will collaborate with local Ukrainian refugees to tell their stories through dance and music.

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

On Saturday, December 2, 2023, Collide will celebrate its Tenth Anniversary with a fundraising gala. The evening will feature silent and live auctions, cocktails and heavy appetizers, and will culminate with a performance highlighting favorite dance excerpts from the past decade.

Season subscriptions are available for purchase now! Individual tickets go on sale August 1, 2023.

For more information, including show dates and locations, please visit Collidetheatrical.org.
