Pangea World Theater
We are here because of you.
After 30 years we are still here. We are still here because we are continually committed to now. We are still here because we carry the strength of our Ancestors into each day. We are still here because we are committed to out-dreaming the ones in authority that want to destroy any collective future for all of us. We create from the land, people and aesthetics we arise from. We create in the theater, on Lake Street, and in relation to the River that runs through this Dakota Land. We are still here because of relationships.
Up Next!
A new permanent home for Pangea World Theater and a crossroads for art, sustainability and social transformation
Pangea World Theater's Center for Peace and Justice
Our current home at 711 W. Lake Street, Minneapolis. We still have our offices and black box theater here until our new space is ready.
Our new space! in the old Hub Bike Building at 3020 Minnehaha Avenue. For now the building is covered in Poetry and you will find the the Jim Denomie Honoring Butterfly Garden starting to grow. We are holding most of our Lake Street Arts! events here until we start construction in late 2026 or Spring of 2027!
Phase one of our new building is coming! We are working to transform 3020 Minnehaha into a space for theater, art and community. Phase one will have a 100 seat theater, offices and public space. We are in the final push to raise the funds to start construction. Click any image to learn more.
I want to thank you again for inviting me into the space on Saturday. From the moment I stepped into Pangea, something in me softened. The warmth of the room, the coffee, the bread, the familiar smiles, all created a sense of calm that I had not felt in a long while. These past few months have carried a heavy weight. The constant calls about people being violently taken by ICE, walking with families into the Whipple building, witnessing their fear and grief settle into their bodies, has been heartbreaking. It has been hard to find a place to set all of those emotions down.
On Saturday, hearing the poems, the songs, and the voices of the artists, something opened in me. I cried, I laughed, and for the first time in a long while, I felt held in community. It was a moment of release, of breath, that I did not even realize I had been longing for. I am so grateful to all of you. What you create at Pangea is more than an event. It becomes a space where people can return to themselves. It becomes healing.
