Theatre St. Paul

Theatre St. Paul was established in 1956 after the Junior League of St. Paul (Minn.) concluded a survey of the cultural resources of the city, and formed a theater organization, selecting Louis Marcuson as the first Artistic Director of Theatre St. Paul. Marcuson resigned after the first season and his succesor, Rex Henriot, led the theater for the next 10 years.

The theater company transformed a former synagogue building into an intimate thrust-stage theater setting that would seat 180 people. Rex Henriot and his wife, Zoaunne worked together to produce a regular season of from seven to ten plays, along with a childrens' theatre group which often performed up to three plays per season.
