The Minutes
2026-01-31 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-01-31 14:00 - 16:00, 2026-01-30 19:30 - 21:30, 2026-01-29 19:30 - 21:30 | Numerica PAC, 123 N Wenatchee Ave, Wenatchee, WA, 98801, United States
The Minutes
by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts
The Minutes is a razor-sharp, hilarious and dark drama that peels back the facade of small-town city council meeting to reveal the unsettling truths simmering beneath everyday civic life. What begins as a routine session quickly unravels into bureaucratic dysfunction, personal attacks and the occasional diatribe about closer parking, cheese crackers, and pepper jelly. Underneath it all is a tense and biting examination of tradition, power, and the stories communities tell themselves to justify who they are. With Letts’ signature blend of humor, suspense, and social critique, The Minutes exposes how democracy can be both absurdly petty and deeply dangerous, and how most meetings probably could’ve just been an email.
