The Last Wide Open by Audrey Cefaly
Michigan Premiere
​
A love song in three movements.

Over the course of three brief acts, the lives of weary waitress Lina and immigrant dishwasher Mikolaj play out in parallel universes—each a variation on a theme of longing, chance, and connection. With echoes of fate and flashes of magic in the mundane, this tender, time-bending story asks: what if love is less about destiny, and more about timing? Directed by Diane Hill.

Winner of five Tony Awards, The Drowsy Chaperone is a hilarious love letter to the golden age of musicals. A lonely theatre fan drops the needle on his favorite cast album, and suddenly the show bursts to life in his living room, complete with jazz-age romance, tap-dancing gangsters, a tipsy chaperone, and nonstop showbiz antics. Overflowing with charm, wit, and show-stopping numbers, this “musical within a comedy” is pure escapist joy.

Shakespeare’s most enchanting comedy! On the shortest night of the year, runaway lovers, a troupe of amateur actors, and mischievous fairies collide in a magical forest where nothing is quite what it seems. As the rules of logic unravel, four young lovers are swept away in a tangled web of charms, feuds, and moonlit mischief. Whimsical and witty, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a joyful celebration of transformation and the strange spell of love.

This exhibition invited artists from around the country to explore the connection between literature and the visual arts. Each artist was given the challenge to select a fiction or nonfiction book that moves them and create works in any medium that visually interpret or respond to its pages. Books spark imagination, stir emotion, and transport us to new worlds—artists bring those worlds to life! Juried by Katie Rothley, Marketing & Public Relations Librarian at the Northville District Library, this exhibition celebrates the magic of storytelling and the creative journeys it inspires.
