Theater Latté Da

Theater Latté Da is proud to be Minnesota’s only regional theater – and one of few in the country – devoted exclusively to new and adventuresome musical theater. 

Founded in 1998, Theater Latté Da emerged from the successful collaboration between lifelong friends Peter Rothstein and Denise Prosek. Through the twenty-six seasons that followed, Latté Da has grown to become a national leader in musical theater, built by the incredible community of theatermakers who call Minnesota home. In 2023 the remarkable Justin Lucero was welcomed as Theater Latté Da’s next artistic director. Justin joined the Latté Da community with passion, curiosity and a strong vision that embraces our legacy while also imagining a vibrant future.

Theater Latté Da is now in its 27th season of presenting original and re-imagined musical theater. Latté Da creates new and impactful connections between story, music, artist, and audience—exploring and expanding the art of musical theater. 

Since its inception, Latté Da has presented 93 Mainstage productions, including 17 world premieres, and 14 area premieres. Each has garnered critical acclaim and earned its artists and Latté Da a host of awards, including: seven IVEY Awards for overall excellence, National Endowment for the Arts, the Gabriel Award for Broadcast Excellence, and the American Theater Wing National Theater Company Award.
