Riders of the LRT Green Line got to explore the impact of the new in a mobile theater production last week along five sites near the stations. The story line for the Green Line Theater is set in 2100, and imagined how civic engagement stopped a proposed super high-speed transit system to preserve the neighborhoods. The audience participated with the performance to "Keep that Green Line alive."

Artists Wing Young Huie and Ashley Hanson teamed up with the Minnesota Museum of American Art to stage a performance that moved from stop to stop on the Green Line Saturday. Anthony Ratnaraj rode along to document the drama.
