One of the great blessings of owning a B&B in Lanesboro, Minnesota is the variety of things to do both for our guests and for us. Many people who stay at our bed and breakfast come to enjoy the beauty of the landscape and the Root River State Trail.
In the evening guests can take in high quality live theatre. Since 1989, the professional artists of the Commonweal Theatre have brought to life soulful stories told with honesty and creativity. Located in the heart of southeast Minnesota’s bluff country, Lanesboro, Minnesota (pop. 788) is home to the company’s new theatre in its historic downtown.
The Lanesboro Commonweal Theatre summer season is in full swing featuring two plays: The Odd Couple and The Rainmaker.
The Odd Couple
May 15 through October 23, the Odd Couple is on stage in the theatre. Felix Ungar, neurotic fusspot news writer, and Oscar Madison, slovenly sports journalist, attempt to adapt to each other’s idiosyncrasies while trying to rekindle their social lives. In this classic comedy, Neil Simon gives us the story of a friendship that defies all odds.
ASL performance Sunday, June 14, 1:30pm
June 19 through October 24th, the Rainmaker by Richard Nash is on the theatre stage. Living on a farm stifled by drought, Lizzie has resigned herself to a solitary life —until a charismatic con-man named Starbuck comes promising rain. This 1950s American fable teaches us how love can overcome cynicism in the most tired of souls, and can bloom in the most barren of landscapes.
Come visit Lanesboro, Minnesota to see all that we have to offer.
