Trips

FiftyNorth offers a variety of travel opportunities including theater, concerts, river cruises, museums, professional sports events and so much more! 

The Travel Committee plans, schedules, and escorts all events. Trip attendees are transported by charter bus to many delightful, insightful and entertaining venues. Past adventures have found us visiting many of the Twin Cities’ museums or theaters, taking historical tours of unique cities, or attending a Twins or Saints game. Occasionally, an overnight travel adventure is planned. Scholarships are available to help defray the cost for our more expensive adventures.

You may sign up for any of these trips online with credit card payment, or come into the Center and fill out a registration form, attach payment and put into registration slot behind the Reception Desk.  To sign up online, click on the name of the trip.

If you have ideas for a trip adventure for the Travel Committee to consider, please contact Michelle Brant at 664-3707.

TRIP – GRSF Shakespeare in Winona – Comedy of Errors

Wednesday, July 9
10:30am-7:30pm

Comedy of Errors
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Doug Scholz-Carlson

“To the world I am like a drop of water that in the ocean seeks another drop”.
Experience the uproarious mayhem of Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors! In this masterful blend of wit and whimsy, two sets of identical twins, separated at birth, create a riotous tapestry of mistaken identities and slapstick antics in the vibrant city of Ephesus. As love, loyalty, and chaos intertwine, the characters find themselves caught in a whirlwind of confusion, leading to heart-warming revelations and hysterical mix-ups.

With its sharp dialogue and lively pace, The Comedy of Errors is a celebration of the human experience, reminding us of the love that binds us—even when time and space parts us. Join us for a bold, new staging of this beloved farce.

The trip includes the bus ride, lecture on the bus on trip down, play tickets, a light meal and conversation with the actors after the play, treats on bus on way home.
NOTE: does not include lunch before the play.

Trip Hosts:  Bill & Char Carlson, 507-645-9642 if you have questions
Capacity: max 38, min 20
Cost: $130
