Candace Bilyk —I just moved across the country so I am broke as sh*t, but I would be so incredibly sad if Bedlam didn’t find a space again… and if I didn’t donate then I would also feel RESPONSIBLE. I hope more people will give soon. Thank you for supporting me in the past, I am glad to be able support you now.

Carl Atiya Swanson —Bedlam is the nervous system of our Twin Cities theater scene- it is intelligent, reactive and senses the world before we even know what’s happening, it is crucial and critical to our survival, and most of all, it needs a good home.

Niels Strandskov —Bedlam has spoiled me in terms of what I expect from theater. From the intensely personal to the outspokenly political, Bedlam’s shows have never failed to amaze me and move me. But it is the community that Bedlam creates which really sets it apart from other projects. The connections made by and through Bedlam will have a lasting impact, not only in our region, but for our entire society.
