Guthrie, Rea and Zeisler visited the seven cities, but were drawn to Minneapolis/St. Paul because of its location in the heartland of America, the vitality of the cultural community, the presence of a large state university and many small colleges, and the enthusiasm shown by the Upper Midwest for the new theater project.
Thus, the Guthrie Theater was born in Minneapolis/St. Paul, symbolizing for many the birth of the not-for-profit resident theater movement.
The steering committee was constituted formally as the Tyrone Guthrie Theater Foundation in the summer of 1960.

The Minneapolis theater became the physical embodiment of Guthrie's vision for "a new theatre," of the highest level of artistic and professional excellence, to be established removed from Broadway and the economic pressures of the New York commercial theater.
Guthrie was dissatisfied with the "picture fame" configuration of the proscenium stage, and its attendant, and often elaborate, scenery because it contributed to the creation of the "illusion of reality" which, in his opinion, detracted from the ritual of the theater.
The Tyrone Guthrie Theatre is significant in the area of Performing Arts for its importance as the first American regional theater to be founded with a professional repertory company dedicated to the highest artistic standards, and recognized, nationally and internationally, as a superior legitimate theater.
