St. Paul’s Six Points Theater has a world premiere and a solo show from a recent Tony Award-winner in its newly announced 30th season.

Season tickets for the company’s three main shows are priced from $105 to $72, or $39 for full-time students. For details, see sixpointstheater.org. Performances take place at St. Paul’s Highland Park Community Center.

Founded by Barbara Brooks in 1994 under the name Minnesota Jewish Theater Company, the troupe has produced 115 plays and musicals, 5 commissions and 14 world premieres, all while operating free from debt. The company adopted the new name Six Points Theater in 2021. At the time, Brooks said “our mission has not changed, the work we do has not changed. Our work is very firmly Jewish.”

The season includes:

“Just for Us” (Oct. 26-Nov. 10): Comedian Alex Edelman debuted “Just for Us” in 2018 and it was nominated for the best show award at the Edinburgh Fringe. He revived it in 2023 and it went on to win a special Tony Award for exemplary debut. The show tells the comic tale of how he once ended up at a white supremacist meeting after being trolled by Nazis on social media.

“The Messenger” (March 8-23): This world premiere by Jenny O’Connell Davis explores bigotry and racism in an American town through the lens of four women living in upper middle-class predominantly white California.

“An Act of God” (May 3-18): David Javerbaum wrote this parody of the Ten Commandments with ample use of popular culture and current news. Sally Wingert stars as God.

Additional programming from Six Points Theater includes:

“Political Writing by Jewish Playwrights”: featuring actors reading scenes from plays by Arthur Miller and others; 7:30 p.m. Aug. 19.

“The Theatrics of Government”: with Hamline University Professor David Schultz and others; 7:30 p.m. Aug. 22.

“Survivors” (Jan. 23-24, 26, with additional dates to be announced): The true stories of 10 Holocaust survivors are woven together for this show, which illustrates the risk of normalizing hate and explores constructive actions to create a safer, more inclusive community.
