Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10, 1776, with an initial print run of just 1,000 copies; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

For mature audiences, aged 12+ - No babes in arms.

Attend the tale of a barber who returns from unjust exile, driven by vengeance and a hunger for justice. When he joins forces with Mrs. Lovett, a resourceful pie shop owner, the results are both horrific and strangely compelling.

Winner of eight Tony Awards including Best Musical, Sweeney Todd blends sharp wit, chilling suspense, and a powerful score that ranges from haunting ballads to biting satire. Described as “one of the greatest musicals ever written” (New York Post) and “a nightmare of a show and in some ways a dream” (The Guardian), this tale of love, loss, and razor-sharp revenge continues to resonate.

Erin Shields’ Paradise Lost reinvents John Milton’s epic poem through a bold, contemporary lens. Satan, cast out of Heaven, seeks revenge by tempting humanity, setting the stage for a cosmic battle of free will versus divine power. Blending sharp wit, modern feminism, and classical mythology, Shields’ adaptation challenges traditional notions of good and evil while exploring oppression, rebellion, and knowledge. With rich language and a fresh perspective, this powerful play reimagines one of literature’s most profound stories, making it both deeply relevant and strikingly theatrical.

Detroit Philanthropy will host Beyond the Proposal: Relationships, Readiness, and Funding Decisions on Tuesday, April 21, at the historic site of old Tiger Stadium, bringing together foundation leaders for a timely conversation on how nonprofits can strengthen their proposals and build meaningful relationships with funders.

The panel will take place from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at The Corner Ballpark, 1680 Michigan Ave., Detroit — now a community gathering space on the former footprint of Tiger Stadium, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

The discussion will explore how foundations evaluate proposals, identify signals of readiness and alignment, and prioritize authentic relationships in funding decisions. Panelists will offer practical insights to help nonprofit leaders strengthen both their submissions and long-term engagement with funders.

The event will be moderated by Rachel Decker, president of Detroit Philanthropy.

Panelists include: LaTrice McClendon, director, Detroit Knight Foundation; Cindy Rowell, director of learning and impact, Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Foundation; Andrew Echt, director, Applebaum Family Philanthropy

Registration is $30 and must be completed by April 10 on Detroit Philanthropy’s website, detroitphilanthropy.com/upcoming-events.

The event is supported by community partners and sponsors, including Delta Dental, Amazon, Comcast, and the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, among others.

This exhibition honors the commitment of our members from SE Michigan and beyond, whose support plays a vital role in bringing our mission to life. We welcome the public to discover the unique artistic voices and styles of over 100 member artists.
