It’s not whether you win or lose…

Twenty years later, in the wake of Molly's tragic death, Rae returns to her hometown school as a guidance counselor. But when Molly’s 12-year-old daughter, Hazel, knocks on Rae’s door, she and Rae slide back into the game, and the dark and liminal spaces of their unresolved grief. Directed by Carla Milarch.

A charming and witty comedy about the relationship of Hollywood legends, Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner. Tipping Point Theatre presents the Michigan Premiere of "Gene & Gilda" by Cary Gitter.

It’s Hollywood in the late 1980’s and Gene Wilder is giving his first interview after the death of his beloved Gilda Radner. Although he states any discussion of Gilda is off limits, Gilda has other ideas and crashes the interview. The famous couple come to vivid life as we follow them from their first meeting through their personal and professional ups and downs, all the way to their poignant farewell. We celebrate an intimate portrait of two comic legends in love, and the lives they led beyond the laughter.

Runtime: ~90 minutes, no intermission

Showtimes are Wednesday - Sunday starting April 8 through May 3, 2026

Doors 6 PM • Music 6:30 PM
$15 or Pay What You Can • Always all ages

6:30 PM • Rexford (debut)
A performance built from classic country songs, approached as lived material rather than nostalgia. The set leans into the emotional weight inside the writing, vulnerability, dependency, and restraint, delivered plainly and without distance. A storytelling project, with the histories behind the songs opening into deeply personal essays and prose drawn from Keener’s own life.

7:15 PM • Sophia Corinne
An Asheville, NC–based songwriter who draws poetry for her songs from a life lived paying attention. Since 2021, she has released multiple EPs and toured extensively across North America through DIY shows. Her work offers something intimate and close, shaped by observation and care.

8:00 PM • Lyle De Vitry
An Asheville-based songwriter working in a baroque-leaning folk style. Carefully crafted melodies and poetry explore nature, love, memory, and the passage of time, with a focus on the relationship between sound and emotional experience.

9:00 PM • Hopie Jo (solo)
Kalamazoo songwriter Hope leads Hopie Jo with a voice that holds both grit and tenderness. Her songs are grounded in close, lived detail, moving between quiet intimacy and sharper edges without losing their center. In a solo setting, the writing sits fully exposed, direct and unguarded.

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.

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.
