Black Box Theatre – Gannon Building/Room 1422

About In this heartwarming and humorous memory play with music (traditional hymns and carols) set at Christmas, a writer recalls his boyhood and the Oklahoma homestead his family lost to the dust bowl. They spent the hard scrabble winter of 1934 in Kentucky with an elderly aunt and uncle. The boy Jamie (who appears with the adult writer James) looks for Christmas in the woods and finds a wounded rabbit and a mysterious old woman. He responds to her bitterness with kindness and they exchange the real gifts of Christmas.
(Concord Theatricals)

Hello G.L.U.T. Readers:

In the past, you may have attended Summer Circle Theatre outdoors, behind the MSU Auditorium Building. If so, we thank you for being part of our SCT family. 

These past two summers have been heart-breaking for us not to be able to follow our mission of presenting shows, the kids camp, and activities like we have been doing for 60 years-- all free to community members. Our donations on which we depend have understandably been down during our hiatus, but we plan to return with a full slate of FREE shows and more. 

Over the past decade, we have nearly doubled our programming but our financial support from the University remains unchanged. In that time we have become a fully professional company paying our actors (including community actors), designers, stage managers, and more. But funding is limited so we are hoping you can help keep Summer Circle Theatre free by donating to this site as part of our Giving Tuesday campaign. Please share the link with other SCT aficionados.

PLEASE STAY: A Call for Suicide and Depression Awareness

poetry and 
music 
to explore the pain of mental health struggles, offer reflections and resources, and to encourage people who are suffering to seek the help they deserve and need. 


The program was inspired by and concludes with a virtual choir performance of Jake Runestad's song, "Please Stay.”

Facilitator Doak Bloss reports on Facebook:

The "opening night" of PCTC's first "Play Date" was a great experience, highlighted by the actors who did two scenes from Dominique Morisseau's play "Pipeline." (I don't have their names in front of me, damn it, but they were powerful.) Rich discussion and a revealing look inside what turns a script into the theatre we love. (Great idea, Chad Badgero!) 
  
Tonight it happens again at the downtown Lansing library, starting at 6:30. Come even if you haven't had a chance to read the play in advance; you will be moved to read it afterward, I guarantee.

Remaining Libraries Taking Part:
Nov 2 – 6:30 pm - CADL Downtown Lansing Library (401 S Capitol Ave, Lansing, MI 48933)
Nov 3 – 6:30 pm -  Eaton Rapids Area District Library (220 S Main St, Eaton Rapids, MI 48827)
Nov 4 - 6:30 pm - Fowlerville District Library (130 S Grand Ave, Fowlerville, MI 48836)
All free of charge and open to the public.
Play summary: A mother’s hopes for her son clash with an educational system rigged against him in PIPELINE, the riveting play by Dominique Morisseau. Nya, an inner-city public high school teacher, is committed to her students but desperate to give her only son Omari opportunities they’ll never have. When a controversial incident at his upstate private school threatens to get him expelled, Nya must confront his rage and her own choices as a parent. But will she be able to reach him before a world beyond her control pulls him away? With profound compassion and lyricism, PIPELINE brings an urgent conversation powerfully to the fore.
