GREENWAY GATHERING || Raising funds for the Marquette Greenway Challenge Grant

**** Highly Recommended  The Joffrey Ballet’s Grainger Academy’s Winning Works, presented annually at the Museum of Contemporary Art, is a performance I await with great anticipation. It’s a chance to see brand new pieces by new choreographers, all ALAANA (African, Latinx, Asian, Arab and Native American) artists, performed by up-and-coming dancers who get a chance to shine.  Each piece is preceded by a short video in which the choreographer explains his/her vision, while working with the dancers.  This year’s program was absolutely fabulous.  4 BIG Spotlights

**** Highly Recommended  Audiences are loving Paramount Theatre’s production of "Waitress", a musical of contrasts.  Parts of the story are dark and difficult – domestic abuse, infidelity and single parenthood aren’t usually the subject of a musical.  On the other hand, "Waitress" is also about dreams, determination, friendship – and pies.  Except for the sound – the orchestra overwhelms the female singers so their mics are turned up to the point their voices are screechy – the production is wonderful. I really enjoyed it.  4 Spotlights
