Starting Gate Productions is a small professional theater company based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Starting Gate performs mainly contemporary classic plays, mostly by American authors, though they make occasional forays into classical texts. The company emphasizes its production values—which tend to be very high compared to other small theater companies in the Twin Cities--and its development of actors through workshops.〔("Web Guide to Minnesota Arts" ); State of the Arts; Minnesota Public Radio website〕 Starting Gate produced a large number of shows in its first few season and gained early success with critics and audiences.〔Papatola, Dominic; ("Starting Gate Plunges Ahead with Ambitious 2nd Season" ); St. Paul Pioneer Press; 4 May 2003〕 Recently, the producers in the company turned their attention to securing Equity actors for some of their productions.〔Royce, Graydon; ("An Upgrade at Starting Gate" ); Minneapolis Star Tribune; 5 November 2005〕 Starting Gate opened its debut season in 2002 at the Loading Dock Theater as one of the few theater companies based in downtown St. Paul.〔Papatola, Dominic; ("Out of the Gate" ); St. Paul Pioneer Press; 22 September 2002〕 The company performed there until 2005, when it transferred to the newly renovated Mounds Theatre in St. Paul's Dayton's Bluff Neighborhood.〔("Past Shows" ); Mounds Theatre website〕 ==Company members== Don Eitel (founding member) Richard Jackson (founding member) Stephen Frethem (founding member) Ben Chadwick (founding member) John Raabe (founding member) David Coral Mark Webb Ben Tallen 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Starting Gate Productions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
