Project Overview

Now in its fifth season, KSMQ continues to produce Off 90, which premieres Sunday evenings with encores twice during the week. Episodes take a look at our shared culture and heritage, featuring stories from around the corner, up the highway and down Main Street. In 2013, Off 90 featured individual artists ranging from butter sculptors to seed artists, and stories about local history and culture.

Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

 Through arts & culture special programming, KSMQ is able to bring unique artists and art experiences to our audience in a longer format than our weekly program allows. Playhouse Off 90 represents our partnership with The Minnesota Shorts Festival of Plays and features Minnesota based playwrights and actors. 

Measurable Outcome(s)
  • Completed two musical specials featuring local/regional artists performing to local audiences.
  • Each episode of Playhouse Off 90 will be filled with dramatic moments, comedies that will make you laugh out loud, and a stunning variety of talent from around the nation
