Duluth Playhouse leaders said Thursday they will be bringing the Family Theatre series and the School of Performing Arts to the Norshor Theatre facility.

This collaboration comes after pandemic challenges and “significantly” increased cost due to changes in lease negotiations with St. Louis County for their space at the Depot.

“This move secures a sustainable future and an overall improved experience for our staff, artists and patrons,” said Duluth Playhouse Executive Director Wes Drummond. 

“We can focus exclusively on maintaining and enhancing the renovated Norshor Theatre and the updated amenities located there.”

Drummond also acknowledged how much they will miss performing at The Depot. 

The NorShor Theatre will continue to be a performance space for other groups and organizations. The Underground and Family Theatre series will finish out their current productions at the Depot.  The Playhouse will announce its 2022-2023 season in April and hold a farewell celebration on the Depot Stage.
