Starting Friday, you will have a chance to take a veritable time machine to a world 300 years in the future. All you need to do is take one of the two elevators to the ninth floor of the Guthrie Theater.Photo by Nick Golfis
There, a team of artists and performers will present Relics. The conceit? You are attending a gala opening for a new exhibit centered on recently uncovered artifacts from the far-flung past: 2014, to be exact.

Lots of folks hate musicals. They can't accept the logic of people breaking into song in a way that would only get stares if done on the street. They don't like the persistently perky stories or the material seemingly drawn from every hit movie of the past 30 years.
It's not hard to refute those arguments. If you can accept a wise-cracking dude in high-tech armor laying waste to New York City, it's not much of a stretch to watch Maria unleashing "Tonight" in West Side Story. Plenty of musicals deal with heavy topics and find startling new layers in old works.
