Thursday to Sunday
Nearly 30 years after it was first staged, the drama “Keely and Du” is seeing new life after the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. In the play, opening Thursday at Theatre B, Keely is a pregnant rape victim seeking an abortion who has been kidnapped by anti-abortion activist Du. In conversations, the two explore ideas of individual freedoms and religious activism, among other issues. Can open dialogue help people diametrically opposed begin to understand each other?

When people think of North Dakota’s relationship to other countries, they may think of ancestral homelands in Germany or Scandinavia.
Saturday sees a different kinship with Rhythm of Japan in ND: Celebrating the Friendship of North Dakota and Japan, held from 2 to 4 pm in North Dakota State University’s Festival Concert Hall. The event, hosted by the Japanese America Society Minnesota, opens with a drum performance by Tsukasa Taiko, as well as remarks by ND Gov. Doug Burgum, Consul General of Japan in Chicago, Hiroshi Tajima and Bob Sinner, president of SB&B Foods. The concert is free, though online registration is required.

The 2020 death of John Prine hit Fargo-Moorhead music fans hard as the folksinger had a strong following here. His brother, Billy Prine , is trying to ease the pain by playing the late, great singer/guitarist’s songs and showing more than one member of that family knows how to tell a story.
Backed by the Prine Time Band, Billy plays some of his brother’s best known songs and tells the story behind them starting at 7 pm, Sunday at Sanctuary Events Center. Tickets are $29.50 and $44.50 .
Sunday
Once regulars in town, it seems like it’s been a while since The Big Wu have been through.
The Twin Cities jam band is back on the road celebrating its 30th anniversary, so it’s only natural the five-piece would return. Things and places have changed, so the Wu brings its mix of harmonies and improvisation to The Hall at Fargo Brewing Company at 8 pm Sunday. Tickets are $18 for this ID-only show .
