Mixed Blood Theatre Company

Our work is guided by deep community engagement and rooted in Radical Hospitality. We eliminate barriers that prevent people from participating due to lack of resources, racism, physical accessibility, gender discrimination, or other barriers. Tickets are available at no cost to attendees.

Donations are essential and welcomed to help support our program costs.

2025/26 Season - Opening Doors

Please consider giving to the MAX for Mixed Blood's 50th year!

To mark our 50th anniversary season, Mixed Blood is celebrating 50 years of Opening Doors. Founded as an experiment in pluralism, our history and future are grounded in this principle. 

This year, we are opening doors to complex civic dialogue, belonging, radical hope, and to immigrants from across the world and across our community.

Our signature anniversary program is “50 Monologues for 50 Years.” Each week, all year long, we will share online a monologue from a past work, demonstrating the many ways Mixed Blood has been a vanguard for access and inclusion. We are looking back to keep moving forward.

Performances in the 2025/26 season include Equitable Dinners, short performances in people’s houses, inviting nuanced conversations around complex topics. Continuing our work across the state, Warroad Community Potluck celebrates belonging with this community engaged play, created with and for the residents of Warroad, MN.

Currently we are presenting The Happiness Gym. This event offers intentional strength training for our kindness muscles. 

Culminating our anniversary activities is The Jungle, which promises to be the theatrical event of the year. This epic, ambitious, and revolutionary Mixed Blood production is an event you won’t want to miss. 

“I think this season represents all that is great about Mixed Blood. It is audaciously theatrical, radically hopeful, and grounded in community,” says Artistic Director Mark Valdez. “For many, we find ourselves in difficult times. We wanted to make opportunities for us all to come together, in coalition, to imagine beautiful futures as a first step to making them a reality. This season aims to offer hope and strength.”

Our board has committed over $13,000 towards our year-end giving if we can MATCH it.  

Here are suggested donation amounts:

$10,500 would cover the cost of 7 Equitable Dinners

$1,500 pays for one Equitable Dinner

$500 is THE PERFECT 50th Anniversary gift 

$250 will help us mark the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence next year. 

$150 pays it forward for 7 Radical Hospitality tickets

$50 says "Yes, I support Mixed Blood and their community values align with mine."
