Founded in 1998 by Peter Rothstein and Denise Prosek, Theater Latté Da is in its 18th year of combining music and story to illuminate the breadth of the human condition. Peter and Denise began their successful collaboration in 1994 by privately producing five original cabarets to showcase Twin Cities talent. They discovered that by placing equal emphasis on music and story-telling, they could weave tapestries of engaging, challenging and often surprising narratives that resonated with people on many levels. Theater Latté Da officially incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1998 and remains committed to rigorous experimentation with music and story that expands the art form and speaks to a contem-porary audience challenging us to think deeply about the world in which we live. The venues we perform in are an integral part of our productions.

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. At this time, we began searching for spaces with different perfor-mance configurations to meet the unique needs of our productions. Since 2007, Theater Latté Da has produced shows at the Guthrie Theater, Ordway, Pantages Theatre, Southern Theater, History Theatre, Fitzgerald Theater, the Rarig Center Stoll Thrust Theatre, the Lab Theater, the MacPhail Center for Music and the Ritz Theater in Northeast Minneapolis. Theater Latté Da is now emerging as a leader in the musical theater art form, having produced over 62 mainstage productions including 10 world premieres, 9 area premieres and dozens of productions celebrated for their bold re-imagination.
