53 MICHIGAN HIGH SCHOOLS TO BE CELEBRATED FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING MUSICAL ACHIEVEMENTS

2023 SUTTON FOSTER AWARDS SHOWCASE

Date/Time:    Sunday, May 21, 2023, at 6:30PM
Location:        Fisher Theatre
Tickets:        $15
Ticket Office:    www.whartoncenter.com
            517.432.2000 or 1.800.WHARTON
                    
DETROIT, MI — Wharton Center for Performing Arts proudly presents the 11th annual Sutton Foster Awards. The awards program is a state-wide educational initiative celebrating Michigan high school musical theatre and is a flagship educational initiative of Wharton Center. Tickets for the Sutton Foster Awards are on sale now through the official Wharton Center Ticket Office, online at http://whartoncenter.com, or by calling 517.432.2000 or 1.800.WHARTON.

Wharton Center is thrilled to partner with fellow Michigan Broadway presenter—Broadway In Detroit—to host this year’s Awards Showcase on Sunday, May 21, 2023, at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre. The program features 130 high school students performing selections from their school musicals and a variety of Broadway medleys. Fifty-three schools are participating in this year’s program, which was open to all Michigan high schools regardless of location, school size, or musical budget. (Dewitt, East Lansing, Everett, Grand Ledge, Marshall, Portland, and St. Johns high schools are among the participants.)

“We are thrilled to showcase the extraordinary talents of high school students all across Michigan,” Wharton Center’s Executive Director Eric Olmscheid says, “and we are excited to partner with the Ambassador Theatre Group to host the 2023 Sutton Foster Awards in Detroit, truly taking this state-wide program to the next level.”

Leading up to the showcase, three adjudicators comprised of theatre professionals attended each school’s full musical production. They provided feedback directly to the schools and nominated students to participate in the Awards Showcase. Production recognition was given to schools based on merit rather than direct competition.

This year’s Sutton Foster Awards also included multiple year-long learning opportunities. Participants worked directly with touring Broadway professionals in musical theatre performance master classes and technical and creative workshops. From shows like Pretty Woman: The Musical to Beetlejuice, Michigan students were able to work with some of the best in the business!

The entire year-long program culminates in the Awards Showcase. The 130 high school thespians participating will work with a Broadway musical director and choreographer to rehearse and stage the show. Two performers will be selected to represent Michigan at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards (Jimmy Awards) in New York City this June. Cash scholarships and tuition to Wharton Center’s summer Broadway experience, Take It From The Top, will also be awarded.

For a complete list of participating high schools and their productions, visit http://whartoncenter.com/sutton-foster-awards.

The Sutton Foster Awards is a program of Wharton Center for Performing Arts, sponsored by Piper & Gold Public Relations with additional support from Nancy Passanante.

Okay, okay… this is not exACTly “theatre” but it is a production of longtime “Theatre People” Jeff and Sadonna Croff (Icarus Falling & Ixion Ensemble theatres and Riverwalk’s Young Artisan Workshop and more) so it is deemed appropriate for a GLUTster audience. Opens tomorrow!

Lansing Couple Turns Passion for Games into a Gathering Place in Grand Ledge

Sadonna & Jeff Croff are opening Homebrew Tabletop Game Lounge at 219 1/2 N. Bridge St. in Grand Ledge, MI 48837 April 3, 2023. Hours for the lounge will run from 7 AM to 12 AM Monday through Saturday and Noon to 8 PM on Sundays. The business offers game rentals, game sales, beverages highlighting Michigan-made pops, locally roasted coffee and Michigan-blended teas.

"We're excited to create that 'third place" for people throughout the Greater Lansing area," says co-owner Jeff Croff. "Whether folks want to play old standbys like dominoes, checkers and euchre or the latest in hobby games our library is ready to fill the need, while they hangout and relax in the lounge. We want to be the place that isn't home or work, where folks can gather with friends and family or even make new friends over a game and a drink."

Homebrew Tabletop Game Lounge offers over 300 games ranging from Go or Mahjong to recently released games like Flamecraft, Villainous or Ark Nova. Classic games are available for free rental with a drink purchase, while newer games are available for ala carte on site rental of $5 per person per game. Select games for families with younger children are only $5 per rental for the whole group.

"We can't wait to teach everyone new games," says co-owner Sadonna Croff. "Not only will we be teaching board games, but we also plan to teach role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons or Bluebeard's Bride. Those guests that are already familiar with games are also encouraged to open their tables to new players and help them learn. We want this to be a place that whatever you interest is in games, or even just your curiosity, that you can feel comfortable coming in checking it out.”
