EXPLORE DOWNTOWN FARGO “Walk downtown and go shopping at all of the very cool stores on Broadway: the Mason Jar, The Nines, Zandbroz… and of course, we should have a little coffee from Young Blood and maybe some ice cream from the Silver Lining Creamery enjoyed on the lawn at Broadway Square.”
W ATC H A T H E AT E R PERFORMANCE “Go see a play! Almost any Wednesday-Sunday in the FM area, all year round, a person can see a play: at the Fargo Moorhead Community Theatre, any one of the high schools or colleges, Theatre B, West Fargo Events, Act Up, Straw Hat, Tin Roof, Wheelhouse, Studio Vibe Arts, Harwood Prairie Players, Trollwood, Gooseberry, or the FM Opera. Every group offers something unique, wonderful, and excellent.”
GO TO A DERBY EVENT “I love to go to the John E Carlson Coliseum to see the FM Derby Girls! They’re a group of women who are about empowering individuals to fulfill their potential, both on and off the track. It’s radical, good, clean fun!”
AT T E N D A CO N C E R T AT T H E B LU E ST E M A M P H I T H E AT E R “To be able to sit on the lawn with friends, food, and wine enjoying our favorite music together on a perfect MN night—well, it just doesn't get better than that! Even though the venue seats 3,000, it still feels intimate.”
The Bluestem Amphitheater also hosts a plethora of theatre events—most notably, Trollwood Performing Arts School’s summer mainstage musical. This year, Trollwood will be performing “Singin’ in the Rain” from June through August!

Must-See Musicals
1. 2. 3. 4.
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA “As a theater history buff—‘Phantom of the Opera’ is a must-see because it’s the longest running show on Broadway with breathtaking spectacle.”
THE SECRET GARDEN “‘The Secret Garden’ was one of the first musicals to bring a woman’s voice to the forefront in theater. The score is haunting and beautiful.”
ON YOUR FEET! “‘On Your Feet!,’ the Gloria Estefan Musical, is a must-see because it’s a high-energy true story about a woman. One of my favorite onstage moments is the laundry scene—beautiful.”
T H E H E L LO G I R LS “‘The Hello Girls’ has THE hardest score and most beautiful music I’ve heard in a very long time, and the story is inspiring and true.”
The Hello Girls was FMCT’s most recent mainstage musical, having run from June 1 through June 11!

B R I G H T STA R “‘Bright Star,’ written by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, is the music of my family tree, and Steve Martin is one of the most underrated musicians of our time.”
