MOORHEAD — Fargo Moorhead Community Theatre is moving this weekend’s production of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” to the Frances Frazier Comstock Theatre at Concordia College.

The move was prompted after the structural integrity of the roof at The Stage at Island Park, 333 Fourth St. S., Fargo, the home of FMCT, was called into question when issues were noticed on Saturday, Dec. 14. The troupe canceled its final two stagings of “A Christmas Carol” after the issue was noticed.

Structural engineers have been working to assess the issue and determine a process to fix any problems.

“Our 52-year-old building is fully intact, but in need of repair,” the theater said in a statement on Sunday.

“FMCT is grateful for Concordia College and Concordia Theatre for stepping in at this time of need,” said FMCT Executive Director Eloise Breikjern in a press release on Monday, Dec. 16, announcing the move to Concordia this weekend. “Their comradery, in addition to the outpouring of support from our community, is affirming to our organization as we work to assess the next steps with our building.”
