Theatre B is looking for a permanent location after spending 10 years at 716 Main Avenue in downtown Fargo.

“The time has come for Theatre B to search for a forever home,” said Carrie Wintersteen, executive director. The local theater company plans to leave its current location in July.

Both short-term and long-term plans have been considered.

“In the short-term, we are seeking proposals to temporarily house the ensemble in new and surprising locations,” Wintersteen said. “Just as we did 13 years ago, we hope to activate unlikely buildings and neighborhoods, while creating another season of engaging art.”

While confronted with uncertainty, the ensemble maintains a confident and positive attitude. Indeed, its situation is not unfamiliar. Theatre B’s first productions were presented at the former Moose Lodge at 309 Broadway. Subsequently, it relocated to a former bank at 8th Street S and Main and, finally, to 716 Main.

“Not much was happening down in this neighborhood at the time. But that’s what we mean by Creative Placemaking, and Theatre B is committed to it,” Wintersteen said.

Theatre B seems to thrive in unusual locations and will continue to do so on their search for a new residence.

Theatre B emerged in 2003, bringing together an eclectic group of self-described “displaced professionals.” 10 artists comprise its current ensemble. It is managed by a Board of Directors and operated by two part-time staff members. In 2014, Theatre B won the National Theatre Company Award from the American Theatre Wing.

The company is focused on interpreting innovative productions in unique ways and impacting its regional community. “At Theatre B we tell stories that challenge assumptions and make people think a little differently,” Wintersteen said. This perspective is reflected in Theatre B’s slogan: “Rearranging the Furniture of Your Mind.”

Theatre B will accept proposals until April 22. For more information, contact Carrie Wintersteen at carrie@theatreb.org.
