The Guthrie Theater's first building included a 1,441-seat thrust stage designed by Tanya Moiseiwitsch.
 While Ciulei was not able to attain all the goals he had envisioned, he was able to maintain and advance the Guthrie's national and international reputation as a first-rate example of American theater and drew critical success with productions of classics such as Peer Gynt, The Marriage of Figaro, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Seagull, and Tartuffe
 After closing its 20052006 season, the theater moved to its current facility designed by Jean Nouvel
