Workhouse Theatre Company (WTC) is the only independent theatre company residing and producing in north Minneapolis. Based in the Camden neighborhoods of Minneapolis, WTC was established by Artistic Director Jeff Redman in 2004, under the name Camden Civic Theatre. The name was changed to Workhouse Theatre Company in 2006, although the theatre's dedication to Camden remains the same and WTC still maintains the title of the first and only independent theatre company based in the Camden community.
Workhouse Theatre Company is a teaching theatre whose mission is to provide the residents of the Camden neighborhoods with an opportunity to attend and to participate in quality presentations of theatrical works. In addition to offering an assortment of inexpensive classes in acting and improvisation, WTC offers a full theatrical season and regularly participates in community events such as Mississippi Heritage Day and Holiday on 44th. Since 2006, most WTC productions have been staged at The Warren: An Artist Habitat on 44th and Osseo Road North.

Famous quotes containing the words theatre and/or company:
“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama. Deep in the nature of theatre is a sense of ritual. The cinema, by contrast, transports its audience individually, singly, out of the theatre towards the unknown.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Mrs. Mirvan says we are not to walk in [St. James’s] Park again next Sunday ... because there is better company in Kensington Gardens; but really, if you had seen how every body was dressed, you would not think that possible.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
