Producer & Co-Artistic Director – Lynn LohrĬo-Artistic Director & Playwright in Residence – Lance S. We will miss her terribly and this, our – her – 16th season of the Great American History Theatre, is dedicated to her. Lynn loves the ghosts of our city and she helped us all to love them, too. We will feel the lack of her energy even as we continue on the path we have followed with her in joy and glory and tears for fifteen years.

It is a periodical which probes and analyzes American political and economic life and ideas, something Lynn has been doing at the History Theatre since the very beginning. Lynn leaves us tonight to put her great spirit, boundless inventiveness and deep commitment at the service of MOTHER JONES MAGAZINE in San Francisco. Eighty-seven productions later – 57 of them world premieres and 13 area or North American premieres – that leadership comes to a close with tonight’s performance. All of us were attracted to it by the force of her ideas and the glitter of her creativity.

The History Theatre was born and developed out of the power of her dreams and her commitment to her artistic principles and her social convictions.

It was fall, 15 seasons ago that it all began under Lynn Lohr’s superb leadership. Written by Lance Belville, this is what audience members read: At the beginning of this season, printed in the program of the first production, audiences read the announcement that Lynn Lohr, the “genesis point” of the organization and its leader for 15 years, was leaving the Twin Cities for a job in San Francisco.
