Prairie Repertory Theatre is set to open its 49th summer season. The season opens with the classic comedy, “Father of the Bride,” followed by “Beehive: The 60’s Musical,” the ultimate celebration of 1960s female empowerment; a laugh out loud comedy of heroic proportions, “Insane with Power;” and closes with the family favorite “The Wizard of Oz.”

This will be Prairie Rep’s first season in the Performing Arts Center’s new theater on the campus of South Dakota State University. PRT will be performing Thursdays through Sundays this season in both Brookings and Brandon.

• “Father of the Bride,” Brookings, June 6-9; Brandon, July 18-19;
• “Beehive: The 60’s Musical,” Brookings, June 13-16; Brandon, July 11-14;
