Tonight through Sunday
If all the world isn't a stage, most of Fargo-Moorhead is. Nearly all of the local playhouses are active this week with three new productions opening - all set in the first half of the 20th century in the Midwest. North Dakota State University's Little Country Theatre kicked off "Oklahoma!" on Wednesday night, which runs 7:30 p.m. shows through Saturday with a 2 p.m. Sunday matinee at Festival Concert Hall, NDSU. The Rodgers and Hammerstein musical follows the romantic escapades of cowboy Curly McLain in popular songs like "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" and the title tune. Tickets range from $8 to $18. (701) 231-7969. Across the river, the gothic drama "The Diviners," about a fallen preacher and a small Great Depression-era Indiana town desperate to believe in something, runs at 7:30 tonight through Saturday at Gaede Stage, Dille Center for the Arts at Minnesota State University Moorhead. (218) 477-2271. And the Tin Roof Theatre opens "Picnic," William Inge's Pulitzer-winning play about a handsome drifter who upsets the calm summer in a small Kansas town. The classic opens tonight at the Fargo-Moorhead Community Theatre, 333 4th St. S., Fargo, running through Saturday at 7:30 with a Sunday 2 p.m. matinee and the same times next weekend. Tickets range from $10 to $15. (701) 235-6778.
