Old Log Theater endures in its neck of the woods
The Old Log Theater on Lake Minnetonka is part of a disappearing breed: a for-profit, unionized theater. Hundreds of actors — including Nick Nolte and Loni Anderson — have worked there over the decades, but it has the reputation of being in theatrical Siberia. Don Stolz started running the place in the 1940s, and turned over the operation to his sons in 2006. Even so, Stolz, now 90, still gives the curtain speeches.
