Arts Organizations Left Out

Recently, a “Best Of” article [“On the Townsend,” Lavender, December 16] highlighted the Best Productions of 2010 in Minneapolis/St. Paul. On this list were many fantastic performances from area theater companies, both large and small. The list was great; however, there seemed to be a large amount of arts organizations left out.

It’s clear that the Twin Cities are an amazing place for theater, but it would be nice to see a more comprehensive list involving other arts organizations such as the Walker, Minnesota Opera, Minnesota Orchestra, and Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra.

The definition of “production” in context is a “literary or artistic work presented to the public.” The above organizations and many others have wonderful productions, including orchestral music, opera, dance, and other art forms to offer the GLBT community. Perhaps they could be featured as well in future issues.
