Shake Up Date Night!!

Tired of doing the same old thing? Here are six great options for breaking out of your rut!

Tired of "Date Night" being the same old dinner-and-a-movie routine? Why not try something different? There are some terrific events around town right now.

If you like suspense, there are two great choices. First, the New Dawn Theatre in Duluth presents Murder on the Nile, by Agatha Christy. This classic thriller by the queen of crime finds honeymooners Simon Mostyn and his wealthy socialite wife, Kay being pursued by an old flame while cruising aboard a steamer in Egypt. When a body is discovered, all fingers point to Simon's ex fiancée. But everything is not what it seems as the plot thickens!

Your other choice is downtown at the Alliance Theatre where you can see the world premiere of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, a haunting new musical with music and lyrics by John Mellencamp &  book by Stephen King. Prepare for a riveting Southern Gothic musical fraught with mystery, tragedy, and phantoms of the past along with a blues-tinged score.
