While the semester may be ending, those staying in Fargo-Moorhead over the holiday season and break will still have plenty to do in theatre, music, art and more.
Theatre:
‘I Will Not Go Gently’
Theatre B’s 15th season continues with Jennifer Childs’s hilarious one-woman show, “I Will Not Go Gently.”
The show follows rock star Sierra Mist and her spectacular comeback. Sierra herself is ready to return to the stage, taking over her mantle of Rock Queen — but are her fans?
“I Will Not Go Gently” will leave audiences rolling with laughter and is also a deeper look into what kind of legacy we leave.
WHERE: Theatre B
WHEN: Dec. 14 – 30, times vary
