The Company of Spelling Bee
The Performing Institute of Minnesota’s Emerging Professional Ensemble (EPE) was founded in the summer of 2017 with the opening of the PiM’s Eden Prairie campus, and is envisioned as a rigorous, theatrical playground for professionally-minded performers.
EPE is committed to ensemble-driven, compelling, and contemporary storytelling and strives to empower a creative space where all voices are heard and honored; a space where young emerging artists can collaborate and create with peers and those starting their professional journeys. Artists ages 16 to 24 are encouraged to engage in the collaborative process in the production of high-quality, impactful theatre and musical theatre.




Our Mission
The Emerging Professionals Ensemble provides aspiring artists with professional-level theatre opportunities amidst an inclusive and socially conscious community committed to impactful storytelling.
