THEATER LATTÉ DA (Producer) Founded
by Peter Rothstein and Denise Prosek,
Theater Latté Da is now celebrating its 15th
year of combining music and story to
illuminate the breadth of the human condition.
One of the most celebrated companies in the
vibrant Twin Cities arts community, Theater
Latté Da has garnered critical acclaim and
earned a host of awards including 4 Ivey
Awards, the Gabriel Award for Broadcast
Excellence and regular “Best of the Year”
nods from the media. Throughout its
relatively brief history, TLD has received over
70 honors and awards for its exceptional
work. TLD stands out as a bold innovator,
investing in the art of musical theater and
taking it to new heights for Twin Cities area
audiences and beyond. Theater Latté Da
remains committed to a rigorous
experimentation and creates work that speaks
to a contemporary audience, challenging us to
think deeply about the world in which we live.
In 1998, Theater Latté Da began performing
at the intimate 120-seat Loring Playhouse. By
2007, Theater Latté Da productions were
playing to sold-out houses and they began
searching for spaces with different
performance configurations to meet the
unique aesthetic demands of each production.
Since 2007, Theater Latté Da has produced
shows at the Guthrie Theater, Ordway Center,
Pantages Theatre, Southern Theater, History
Theatre, Fitzgerald Theater, the Rarig Center
Stoll Thrust Theatre and The Lab Theater.
Theater Latté Da is now emerging as a leader
in the American Musical Theater, having
produced 51 mainstage productions including
8 world premieres and dozens of productions
celebrated for their bold re-imagination.
