The Shining Town— OmniRootz Productions presents a new production of Owen Vincent Dodson’s play The Shining Town , opening this Friday at Out ch’Yonda (929 Fourth Street SW).

The play runs Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., Sundays at 3 p.m., through May 27. $10 general, $8 students/seniors. An open dress rehearsal on Thursday, May 18, at 7:30 p.m. is a pay-what-you-can performance. 385-5634.

In this show, though, you’ll find a selection of photographs from after World War II that document the rapid growth of our city. The exhibit has been extended through Saturday, June 17. 848-1376.
