Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella is a musical written for television but later played on stage with music by Richard Rodgers and a book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II. It is based upon the fairy tale Cinderella, particularly the French version Cendrillon, ou la petite pantoufle de verre (Cinderella or The Little Glass Slipper) by Charles Perrault. The story concerns a young woman forced into a life of servitude by her cruel stepmother and self-centered stepsisters, who dreams of a better life. With the help of her fairy godmother, Cinderella is transformed into a princess and finds her prince.There will be photo opportunities throughout the night as well as crowns and tiaras that can be purchased to help bring this classic to life.
Pulitzer-Prize winning playwright Lynn Nottage's sweet and savory comedy CLYDE'S trades in wonder, Wonder Bread, and the healing powers of food. No one would accuse Clyde of having a soft heart. Sure, she hires former convicts for the gre4asy kitchen of her truck-stop sandwich joint, but she knows what they owe her and holds that power tight. Her line cooks might be stuck, but their hopes aren't flickering out just yet!! They are feeding themselves and each other with their tentaive connections and fierce ambitions to create the perfect sandwich."Critics Pick" - A delightful new play. Though it's still about dark things, including prison, drugs, homlessness and poverty, it somehow turns them into bright comedy. - The New York TimesNottage fuses her storytelling once again to a social issue desperately in need of illumination...(a) highly entertaining comdey of kitchen nightmares. - The Washington Post

In "Andrea Carlson Future Cache," a 40-foot-tall memorial wall towers over visitors, commemorating the Cheboiganing (Burt Lake) Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians who were violently burned from their land in Northern Michigan on October 15, 1900. Written across the walls above and around the memorial, a statement proclaims Anishinaabe rights to the land we stand on: “You are on Anishinaabe Land.”
Presented alongside are paintings of imagined decolonized landscapes and a symbolic cache of provisions. Future Cache implicitly asks those who have benefited from the legacies of colonization to consider where they stand and where to go from here and seeks to foster a sense of belonging for displaced Indigenous peoples fighting for restitution.

Forty-two exceptional artists have qualified for their Signature status with MWCS by being juried into at least four annual exhibitions over the last ten to twelve years.

There are thirteen Great Lakes Fellows exhibiting.
These Signature Members come from all parts of the state. Their work varies from representational to abstract, and everything in between, as each artist shares their distinctive styles and techniques. The remarkable watercolors featured in this exhibition are a sound representation of MWCS membership and the extraordinary artistic talent here in Michigan.
