Empire Arts Center 415 DeMers Avenue Grand Forks, ND 58201

Join the Empire Theatre Company and Grand Forks Comedy Collective for a hilarious, interactive “funeral” honoring Uncle Louie, the colorful founder of Concrete Casualties, Inc. This tongue‑in‑cheek performance brings together an unforgettable cast of characters, plenty of family drama, and a playful underworld of secrets that come to light as the evening unfolds.

The event features a light meal available for purchase, a humorous service led by Father Shenanigans and a lively celebration of Uncle Louie’s life with classic hits from the ’60s and ’70s. Audience members are encouraged to wear black, traditional funeral attire and can choose to simply watch or interact with the characters throughout the show.

Cast: Terry Dullum, Leslie Lekatz, Tony Paradis, Ashley Rystad, Mark Diers, Janessa Jaye Champagne, Matthew Ternus, Andrew Huovinen and Kathy Coudle‑King
