Four Humors, your favorite group of intrepid theater idiots, have survived for the last 21 years in the cut-throat Twin Cities Theater scene. And they owe it to two big factors: The wonderful support of their audience, and their ability to pivot the company at a moment's notice. This year's big pivot? Partner with a bigger theater! All they need to do is to pitch a show idea so crazy it just might work!

You're invited to a celebration of show pitches that are so ambitious they have Steppenwolf Theatre saying "Message could not be delivered. This e-mail address is no longer in service."

Will any theater bigwigs come to this fundraiser? (Maybe...) Will Four Humors close the deal? (Hard to say...) Will there be other comedic bits sprinkled throughout the evening, that will culminate in you helping Four Humors prepare for the future? (Absolutely! And we wouldn't have it any other way.)

Join Four Humors for a beautifully stupid evening celebrating their stupidly beautiful 21st year of making theater.

About Four Humors

  • Four Humors mission is to create art that celebrates the humor, stupidity, and beauty of our world by letting the artist connect with the audience in a vulnerable and honest way.

  • Founded in 2005, Four Humors creates engaging and celebrated original theatrical works in the Twin Cities and thrives on creating events and spaces that foster community, connection, and celebration. The company's work focuses on collaboratively devised and newly adapted works using a comedic lens to tell relevant, moving, entertaining, and thought-provoking theater. During the past 20 years, Four Humors has produced 34 original productions, 3 pre-existing works, dozens of free theatrical workshops, multiple award-winning American/Canadian Fringe circuit tours of its original content, and a number of award-winning video shorts. In 2012 Four Humors founded the Twin Cities Horror Festival (an eleven-day, live performance festival featuring original works in theater, dance, music, and film) which has gone on to become its own 501c3 org supporting hundreds of artists each year. And in 2018, Four Humors founded the tremendously well-received MN Theater Awards, a program designed to celebrate, elevate, and bring together the MN Theater Community, which City Pages called the “awards show we need right now.”
