Our Mission

New Breath Productions is a musical theatre learning collaborative committed to providing students of music the opportunity to work side by side with area professionals as an extension of their musical training.  This unique collaboration, created within the context of fully staged musicals, cabarets, or guest artist workshops, encourages the students to stretch themselves artistically while empowering them as performers.

What We Do

New Breath Productions is managed by a volunteer board. We hire our artistic staff to provide students and our paid and volunteer guest artists with the best experience possible. Our programming includes atleast one large musical in the fall. We have also offered smaller cabaret/guest artist workshops in the early winter and spring.  Our fall musical generally has a cast of over 20 artists – including both student and guest performers.  Our cabarets are generally 6 student artists and 3 guest artists. 

Our students are drawn by the surrounding communities and include students who sing in church choirs, school choirs and many take private voice lessons. They have ranged in age from 7-57.  The only requirement for student artists to be in our productions is that they are actively studying music either privately or within the context of ensemble work at their school. 

Our guest artists are selected based on experience in the Twin Cities as well as the desire to be part of a production where the growth of the student artists is our primary focus and reason for being.  We have been fortunate to have former Broadway performers who now reside in Minneapolis as well as fine performers from the Minnesota Opera, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, the Illusion Theatre and Theatre de la Jeune Lune as our guest artists.

We feel what we do is an important piece in the development of young aspiring artists and we are looking forward to a long life as an organization here in the Twin Cities.
