Good evening, detectives, distinguished guests, and board game enthusiasts alike. Tonight, we’re gathered at Boddy Manor not just to solve a crime, but to investigate a mystery. Something's afoot, and it's up to us to figure out what's going on before the bodies pile up, but thankfully, we're not alone in this endeavor!

While theater has come a long way in the types of stories we're telling, there's always room for improvement. Representation in musicals and plays still has a long way to go, so it's important to shine a light on narratives that are often overlooked. The Chocolate Box Theatre Company is bringing Ntozake Shange's groundbreaking choreopoem, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf, to Ant Hall in Planet Ant, and we were able to speak with the founding members of this

Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide / When the Rainbow Is Enuf is not just a work to be read; it is an experience meant to be felt in the body, the heart, and the collective memory of Black womanhood. Through a sisterhood of voices, the author gives language to pain that has too often been silenced: abandonment, sexual violence, racism, self-doubt, and despair. Yet the work is never solely about suffering. It is equally a testament to survival, intimacy, and the radical

What exactly is Shucked the musical about? Simple...it's a show about corn! Well, perhaps that's too simple; however, the marketing for this Broadway musical has focused on the fact that it's a show about corn and has not disclosed much else. Part of the show's appeal was the mystery surrounding it, leaving many to wonder exactly what Shucked was about. So, naturally, when it was announced that the musical would go on a North American Tour, the excitement was electric among those eager to learn more

Even in moments of sadness, it's important that we highlight the happiness that comes from the aftermath. For every storm, there is a rainbow, as the saying goes, meaning that even when something doesn't work out, we want to make sure we appreciate all the positives we can. So while the holiday season is over and we're firmly moving into 2026, we want to take a moment to look back at the incredible work that went into Grosse Pointe Theatre's production of White Christmas!

The World of Oz has exploded since L. Frank Baum's original novel, The Wizard of Oz, was published back in 1900, as the franchise continues to find new life across all forms of media. From a plethora of novels to quite a few films, from MGM's Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz to the more recent Broadway musical (and subsequent films from Universal), Wicked, there seems to be a never-ending journey through Oz for audiences and fans alike. With so many different Ozian entries, where does one begin

Where would the world of music be with the Queen of Rock and Roll? Tina Turner changed music forever with her iconic sound that spanned multiple decades, with a career that stood the test of time. There's no denying that Turner is simply the best, which is why creating a jukebox musical that features not only her music but also deep dives into her life is an absolute no-brainer.

The holiday season is all about spending time with those we love and cherish. Family, friends, your grandma, who thinks you're perpetually a child, no matter how old you actually get?

Reimagined stories are quite popular at the moment, as audiences love to revisit some of their favorite shows or movies through a new lens. Think of Wicked, a retelling of the classic Frank Baum novel (and the MGM film for that matter), The Wizard of Oz, from the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West, which is currently thriving in the cinema. It's in that same vein that the Inspired Acting Company is bringing their holiday show to their stage, Scrooge in Rouge, a hilarious stage production of

When you think of Alicia Keys, which songs from her discography come to mind? There are so many incredible pieces to choose from that it might feel like an impossible task to pick a favorite. Personally, as someone who visits New York City frequently, "Empire State of Mind" will always hold a special place in my heart, as it's synonymous with Times Square. Keys is prolific with the songs she's written and produced, which makes it only natural that her work would make it into a Broadway musical such

There's something special about visiting New York City for the first time. Even after visiting NYC as much as I have, there's something intoxicating about the bright lights and hustle and bustle of the big city.
