This weekend, Torch Theater will open a new production with a familiar look. The Minneapolis micro-theater will bring to the stage three episodes of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," the beloved 1970s TV sitcom.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Morning Edition arts commentator and St. Paul Pioneer Press theater critic Dominic Papatola, who says he's looking forward to the show, but he does have a few concerns about how theaters are increasingly borrowing from other media.
