We could have just as easily chosen Joseph Haj at the Guthrie, but Rasmussen's advent at the Jungle Theater is in some ways more profound. Haj became the latest in a long list of artistic directors at a theater that has huge institutional power behind it. Rasmussen took over for Bain Boehlke, who was personally identified with the Jungle for 25 years as its founder. Rasmussen has a chance to make a deeply personal statement of her theatrical style at the beloved south Minneapolis theater. She will certainly diversify the repertoire with newer plays and look for a more diverse cast on stage.
