Since 2009, Mixed Precipitation has brought joyful music, captivating stories, and colorful theatrics to communities all over Minnesota. That's 15 years. Thanks for helping us keep a commitment to artists and joyful audience experiences.

Here's what our audience said about our 2023 production, Pickup Truck Opera: Volume 3 - Romeo and Juliet:

"I continue to be astounded by your ability to mix disparate - some would assume incompatible elements, but you do it seamlessly. It never feels like a pastiche/collage but rather a whole. That you could do a tragic opera and have me laughing at many points but welling up with tears at the end, again, astounds me. " Audience in Lake City

"It was wonderful! Incredibly entertaining, the Artists were engaging, the staging was clever, the content was accessible, and the opera retelling was well done. I’ve had fun at opera in the past; this was the most fun I’ve had at the opera, ever." Audience in Dundas

"You all are uh-MAY-zing! Keep on keepin' on—beautiful voices and control and fun (which is crazy because it's Tragedy 101). Ya'll have great chemistry. We brought kids 9-15 years old, and we all love what you guys share. We just learned about you last year, but we tell everyone about you." Audience in Hibbing

It takes a lot of work - and a lot of money - to make it happen. Pitching in at the end of the year makes a big difference.

Since the return of live theatre in 2021, our outdoor productions have been smashing attendance records and reaching all ages with great music, powerful stories, and good time.4

Make a gift and support competitive wages for the artists on our team.

The artistic community is recovering, and in that recovery, we’ve learned what it is to be responsive to our community. We’ve used our time and money to train our artists, develop accountability systems in our artistic process, and create jobs!

None of this work is possible without the investment of our community and our audiences. Your money, especially this time of year, is crucial for settling our books and planning for the future.
