2/28 - 3/2 -  Not THAT far away (Marshall, MI, about 50 minutes' drive) you can see "The 39 Steps"  - (in case you just can't WAIT for Jane Falion's ALSO sure-to-be-stellar production of that show opening here in Lansing at Riverwalk on March 14.)
"The 39 Steps" continues its run this weekend, closing on Sunday 3/3.  The reviewer for the Battle Creek Enquirer loved the production and folks who saw it the first weekend had a great time.  Plenty of tickets still available for the remaining 4 performances - Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:00 PM, and Sunday at 3:00 PM.  Please call to reserve tiks (so we know you're coming!).... 269-781-2700.

The World Premiere of The Lady Victory.

Adapted from the book of poems by Jane Vincent Taylor, this world-premiere play follows a group of pregnant teenage girls living at Our Lady of Victory home for Unwed Mothers, in 1960s Oklahoma. Hidden away from the world, the girls stave their fears of what’s to come and what they will lose by staging their own version of the musical Oklahoma! As the girls struggle understand what is happening to them, their confidante and mentor, Sister B begins to question her own sense of duty and morality. 
Cast includes: Carolyn Conover (Sister B); Julia Hays (Girl); Sarah Goeke (Minnie); Jocelyn Elyssa (Louise); Melissa Merceica (Sally); Erika Clauson (Sally New); Mary Dilworth (Jennie); Kate Busselle (Sister Sidney); Brianna Buckley (Mrs. Dolan); and ensemble: Michael Cleland, Savannah Koldzieji, Caitlin Dunlap, Anna Morreale, Marley Boone, Brittany Roulo, Ellie Seelye, Christi Thibodeau
