"We take immense pride in the Old Log Theatre's 84 years of artistic excellence and extend our deepest gratitude to our talented artists and exceptional staff who have consistently created remarkable productions," the Frankenfields wrote.

They say they did it with a heavy heart but are ready to retire. The Cast and Cru restaurant next to the theatre is also closing.

The 600 seat theatre is the oldest in Minnesota. The owners did not announce plans for the property on Lake Minnetonka.
