At the Foot of the Mountain records

At the Foot of the Mountain Feminist Theatre opened its doors in 1974 as an experimental theater by and for women. It was opened by Martha and Paul Boesing who originally had opened the theater in Cambridge, Mass., and Atlanta before laying roots in Minneapolis. Martha Boesing was the writer and producer of many of the plays with help from Phyllis Jane Rose and other members of the company.

Before its closure in 1991 it was known as the oldest continuously-producing women's theater in the United States, and the longest-running professional women's theater in the country. Plays on issues such as rape, prostitution, addiction, war, and musicals about Nancy Drew were among the numerous plays that AFOM produced during its almost 17 years in production. The plays were performed by both professionally and academically trained members, and were often performed in front of sold-out crowds.
