Odd Couple Presented Sept. 30 - Oct. 16
Join Felix and Oxcar in a laugh-filled battle between the obsessive clean freak and the slob.
This classic comedy opens on a poker game in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison (Pat DeMars), and if the mess is any indication, it's no wonder his wife left him.
Late to arrive is Felix Unger (Dave Paukert) who has just been separated from his wife. Fastidious, depressed, and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds, Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results.
DeMars and Paukert lead a solid cast, including Patrick Pearson, Jared Fladeland, Jenny Morris, Mare Thompson and Joel Braxton.
Production Runs Sept. 30-Oct. 2, 7-9, 14-16 at 7:30pm, with Sunday matinees Oct. 3 & 10 at 2pm. All productions at the Fire Hall Theatre in Downtown Grand Forks.
Tickets are available by calling 701-777-4090. Tickets are $15/Adults and $12/Students, Seniors and Military. Group discounts for 10+ apply.
Fire Hall Theatre Lifetime Member and Volunteer Marlys Murphy to be Honored for Support of the Arts
The Fire Hall Theatre invites you to join our staff and board in support of Marlys Murphy, long time volunteer, member and musical director of the community theatre. The North Valley Arts Council is honoring Murphy at the Annual Arts Awards and Silent Auction, September 23, at the Empire Arts Center.
There will be a reception, social hour and silent auction from 5:30-6:30 p.m., followed by the Arts Awards.
Murphy (pictured above L with Maura Ferguson after Crimson Creek's 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) will receive an Individual Supporter of the Arts award in recognition of her extraordinary support of area arts organizations and artists. Marlys has served as an accompanist for countless performances at almost every performing arts organization in the greater Grand Forks community, including Summer Performing Arts, UND Theater, Bel Canto Studio, Crimson Creek Players, Fire Hall Theatre, and area schools.
Murphy will be honored alongside Al Boucher (Artist of the Year, Muddy Waters Clay), Ken Sherwood (Outstanding/Career Achievement in the Arts) and the Grand Forks Herald (Corporate Support for the Arts).
A silent auction fundraiser to benefit NoVAC programming will feature original artwork by some of our most talented and unique area artists. This will be an opportunity to purchase paintings, pottery, and other unique objects d’art created by local and regional artists at reasonable prices. Artists participating in the auction are Al Boucher, Kimberly Forness Wilson, Chuck Kimmerle, Maria Thompson, Eric A. Johnson, Karla Nelson, Jenn Steinbrink, Eunice Kuhn, Donald Miller, Jessica Mongeon, Marlene Stiles, Brett Lysne, Punchgut, Charlotte Lewis, and more.

There will also be a drawing for the raffle, “A Year of the Best of Grand Forks,” including a stay at the Canad Inns Destination Center, dinner for two at ‘I Bistro Mediterranean Eatery, a gift certificate to the Ralph Engelstad Arena, tickets to performances at the Chester Fritz, Empire Arts Center, and more!
The 2010 Annual Arts Awards and Silent Art Auction will also include NoVAC’s annual meeting, a short presentation on the past year at the North Valley Arts Council.
