Graves’ New Children’s Theatre Fails To Soar

Minneapolis’ Children’s Theatre is one of the best in the country. And it has a new home, as designed by the eminent Michael Graves. “The spaces added in the $27 million expansion – a flexible 275-seat theater, a welcoming rotunda, an impressive education center and greatly enlarged backstage facilities – will advance the theater’s enlarged mission and ensure its cultural legacy. But its workmanlike exterior does not advance Twin Cities architecture.”
