About the Showboat Players
The Minnesota
Centennial Showboat acts as the primary performance spot for the University
of Minnesota Showboat Players. The Players are a unique troupe of talented
performers cast exclusively with University students. They perform during
the summer and the Showboat is available for private events and other stage
productions fall through spring.
The Showboat Players are known for their glorious olios, which are whimsical,
musical numbers within the show that illustrate and illuminate an era from
long ago. They feature zany costumes, catchy tunes, and crazy antics—and audience
participation.
