Home, I’m Darling
Get ready for the Minnesota premiere of Home, I’m Darling, running May 23 – June 1, 2025 at the NorShor Theatre. This razor-sharp, Olivier Award-winning comedy by Laura Wade pulls back the gingham curtains on one couple’s seemingly perfect life. Life in their 1950s dream home is sweet, stylish, and carefully curated. There’s just one catch… it’s not actually the 1950s. As Judy and Johnny devote themselves to a lifestyle straight out of a vintage magazine – complete with deviled eggs, mid-century furniture, and picturesque domestic bliss – the cracks begin to show. This delightful yet dark comedy will have audiences laughing while reflecting on the complexities of relationships and the risks of longing for a bygone era in the modern world.

The Northland 5K for Food Allergy is back for our 3rd year with a new starting location, but all the same family-friendly, food allergy fun you’ve come to expect!

We will once again be hosting a Kids’ Fun Run for anyone 12 and under immediately following the 5K, expected start time will be between 9-9:30am. Allergy-conscious food/beverages will be enjoyed after the event.
