Soulful Twin Cities pianist and singer Mari Harris accompanies a trio of storytellers in "1967," a simple, straightforward show about a year when the United States was a crucible. Rose McGee tells of her childhood in the South, and how black children like her were taken out of school for the month of October to pick cotton. Howard Loren Lieberman, a Jewish kid from Chicago's North Side, tells of going to a protest to meet girls, and of his first interracial romance. And Loren Niemi tells of his awakening in the college town of Winona. These poignant narratives make history both alive and personal. (8:30 p.m. Sun., 7 p.m. Tue. & Fri., 2:30 p.m. Sat., Rarig Center Arena, 330 21st Av. S., Mpls.)
