Transatlantic is the perfect answer when folks wonder, "Do we need another small theater company in this town?" Isabel Nelson's troupe (it's more ensemble than any one person's vision) builds its theater from scratch and promises a strong flavor: storytelling with a shared sense of the outcome, and a physical style that is wholly the company's own. They don't produce a lot over the course of a year, but the work is always worth waiting for because it's an aesthetic we see only in a limited amount in the Twin Cities. transatlanticloveaffair.org
