Big Hair, Big Stakes: Hungry Like the Wolf is Coming to the History Theatre

Get ready to tease your hair and dust off your shoulder pads—History Theatre is bringing the neon-soaked energy of the ’80s to downtown Saint Paul! “Hungry Like the Wolf,” a fresh new comedy by playwright Sandra Struthers, is a wild ride through a decade of bold fashion and even bolder characters. Centered around a fierce obsession with Duran Duran, this production blends high-energy humor with a sharp look at the social themes that defined an era. Whether you’re here for the synth-pop nostalgia or the eccentric cast, you won’t want to miss this unforgettable performance running from March 19th through April 12th.

Beneath the infectious ’80s beat, the play strikes a deeper chord by exploring the legacy of the Willmar Eight—the courageous Minnesota women who led the first bank strike in U.S. history. Struthers masterfully weaves this local history into a narrative that tackles labor rights, gender equity, and the political shadows of McCarthyism. It’s a powerful cocktail of history and heart that proves some fights are as relevant today as they were forty years ago.
