EPE is hosted by the Performing Institute of Minnesota (PiM) in Eden Prairie (the flagship program of PiM is PiM Arts High School). One of PiM’s goals is that its campus can be utilized as an “arts hub” in the metro area. Thus, housing & partnering with EPE is beneficial to their mission, and it provides EPE an artistic home without the prohibitive overhead costs of space rental. PiM allows EPE hosting for our audition, rehearsal, and performance space—and access to the high school’s technical theatre equipment free of charge. In exchange, EPE creates community & art at the PiM campus in the summer.
