GRAND FORKS FRIENDS! A few performance updates for the week ahead:

Our Friday night performance (6/19) is going to be shifted to 8pm to accommodate the wonderful Juneteenth Event also taking place in University Park! We encourage patrons to come early and explore the vendors, food trucks and cultural performances that are part of that event before joining us for the show! Our Will Week campers will also have their performance at 7:30pm this night!

We are also moving our Saturday night performance (6/20) to Burtness Theatre. Our new neighbors, The Grand Forks Spitfires, have a game that night and we learned that their stadium noise is not something we can compete with. On the bright side, another indoor option for those who don't enjoy the outdoor elements as much!

We will continue to communicate these changes throughout the week, but wanted to notify patrons ASAP so you can plan accordingly! Aren't we lucky to have a community with so many wonderful opportunities?

It's Opening Night for MACBETH- INDOORS! Mother Nature had other plans, so we are moving our opening night performance inside to Burtness Theatre on the UND Campus. Big thanks to our friends at UND Theatre for hosting us! Show starts at 7:00 with pre-show festivities starting around 6:45. As always, FREE admission (donations gratefully accepted). Let's stay warm and dry for a spooky, spectacular opening night!!!

**Please note, the front half of Centennial Drive is closed due to construction. Patrons will need to take Campus Rd. and turn onto Centennial Dr. next to ND Museum of Art. It will look like you are driving into the construction, but the turn for Burtness Theatre's parking lot is just BEFORE the construction. You CAN still park right behind the theatre!

See you tonight!
