Then on September 2-4, Ole and Lena return to the stage with Ole and Lena’s 50th wedding anniversary and vow renewal. Come laugh with this hilarious couple in the show described this way:

Lena saw a couple renew their vows on Dr. Phil and decides that’s what she and Ole are going to do for their 50th wedding anniversary; but the only thing on Ole’s mind these days is the Lodge’s ice fishing tournament, and how he and his neighbor, Sven, are going to win the “whole deal.” Will Lena get Ole to the altar to renew his vows? Will Ole talk Sven into covering for him so they can both fish in the tournament? Find out in this comedy about love, marriage, and growing old together.

Tickets are $15 adults; $10 under 18. Performances Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

All performances at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts, 51 West 5th Street, Grand Marais.
