2026 Season

PH+T Co-Presents: Drag Story Hour MN

Shimmering Waves

Every year, Pillsbury House + Theatre shares our stage, resources, and creativity with extraordinary artists from across our community and beyond. This season, we’re thrilled to present two new co-productions — including the return of a beloved favorite. 

Drag Story Hour MN returns to the PH+T stage with Shimmering Waves, a playful collection of stories and songs thatflow from freshwater streams to the sea, including magical creatures who call the water home. 

Join the beloved trio Doña Pepa, Sid Sity, and Old Man Zimmer as they blend puppetry, storytelling, music, and lip sync performances in an interactive experience for children and their caretakers. Together, they celebrate gender expression, friendship, and the magic of nature — reminding us that every wave carries a story, and every story brings us closer.
