FARGO — After a successful opening weekend, “Tankhouse,” the comedy about an upstart, avant-garde theater troupe starting in Fargo , has been extended for at least another week at the Fargo Theatre. The film will now be shown at least once a day through May 26.

The movie can also be streamed on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Google Play, Redbox on Demand and VUDU/Fandango or pay per view through some cable companies.
Co-written and directed by Noam Tomaschoff , the story follows a Fargo native and her boyfriend who, after being banned from a New York Theatre troupe, relocate to Fargo to start a theatrical revolution.
Local locations in the film include the Fargo Theatre, the Sons of Norway, The Forum and the adjacent alley, the vintage store Revolver, the old Schumacher Goodyear and the old Avalon Events Center
