This week: Enger Tower, boxing, theater
It’s a good week for theater with four plays opening around Duluth. On Thursday, The Foreigner opens at the Mainstage Theatre at the Marshall Performing Arts Center on the UMD campus. On Friday, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow opens at the Duluth Playhouse along with the The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the same venue. Audience participation and showing up in RHPS costume is encouraged. If you’re looking for a less raucous affair, the Minnesota Ballet will be performing Dracula for two nights only starting Friday.

“Legend of Sleepy Hollow” at the Duluth Playhouse opens Friday, Oct. 21. (not Thursday) I think I submitted it wrong — sorry!
It’s a children’s theater show, not too scary and with lots of little comic bits.
Thanks for the heads up, Bev. The item has been corrected.
I edited the post so now it reads right.
I know it’s a bit late, but I just noticed this when checking out the events for tonight. I think the information for The Foreigner, the play at UMD this and next week, should read: “A new play by Larry Shue, directed by Michael Perreca,..” Larry Shue, the playwright, passed away in 1985.
Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank will be at Luce Fri. night.
