SUMMARY:Six Men Dressed Like Joseph Stalin
DESCRIPTION:  \nNorthern Michigan University Theatre and Dance will present Six Men Dressed Like Joseph Stalin by Dianne Nora\, winner of the Panowski Playwriting Award. With the former USSR as its backdrop\, the dark comedy revolves around two men—loosely inspired by real figures—who bear such a strong resemblance to Stalin that they are forced into dangerous service as political decoys to thwart his enemies and alleviate fears for his safety. Performances are scheduled at 7:30 pm. Thursday\, May 15\, through Saturday\, May 17\, in NMU’s Panowski Black Box Theatre. \nAccording to her website\, Nora has assisted her mentor\, the playwright and actor Tracy Letts\, on seven productions and workshops at Steppenwolf Theatre and on Broadway. She’s a winner of Inkwell Theater’s Lerner Fellowship and Playhouse on the Square’s New Works at the Works Playwriting Competition\, and a recipient of the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Creative Engagement grant. \nNora was a member of Goodman Theatre’s Playwrights Unit\, where she was commissioned to write Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Living Document. She is also a comedy writer who contributes headlines and features at The Onion\, America’s Finest News Source. Her humor writing has appeared on Funny Or Die and The Hard Times. She also co-hosts a podcast about streaming television titled Streamageddon. \nIn Six Men Dressed Like Joseph Stalin\, Soso is a soldier left for dead on the Eastern Front. When he is pulled from the brink of death by the Kremlin\, his fate takes a shocking turn. Because of his uncanny resemblance to one of the most feared men in history—Stalin—he is thrust into a dangerous game of impersonation. Enter Koba\, a man who knows the mind and body of the dictator better than anyone. Tasked with transforming Soso into the perfect double\, Koba trains him for the most perilous role of a lifetime. \n“The play is smartly written to make it very entertaining despite the heavy subject matter\,” said Kaitlyn Frotton\, director of NMU’s production. “These two guys risk assassination by playing the role of Stalin’s body doubles\, in the Soviet Union\, where you didn’t know who you could trust and the autocratic government felt it necessary to police creative expression. I think there is a lot of relevance to the current situation. It’s presented in a way that makes you chuckle to yourself for a majority of the show\, but by the end\, you’re left with a lot to think about.” \nThe two lead actors are Copeland Diver as Soso and Liam Fisher as Koba. Understudies Don’Tae Mitchell and Logan Newcomb have been added into the script as Kremlin cops and ensemble members. Frotton said it is advantageous for actors to tackle original works that are less familiar to audiences. \n“It’s beneficial because they do not have any preconceived notions going in about the way the roles should be played\,” she added. “It’s a great challenge because they need to be accurate to the text\, yet they are also able to use their own unique artistry to create the characters from scratch. There are fewer expectations or boundaries\, and they’re able to come up with possibly a more authentic performance than if we were rehearsing something like ‘A Streetcar Named Desire\,’ which has been viewed by many. It creates a more dynamic end product\, as director\, to explore the text with the actors as well. It feels like a more collaborative process. Our cast is phenomenal.” \nSix Men Dressed Like Joseph Stalin premiered at Playhouse on the Square in Memphis\, Tenn.\, early this year. NMU’s Playwriting Award was established in 1977 by Dr. James A. Panowski. This year’s winner is being featured during the North Coast Theatre Festival season\, which also includes a Drag Cabaret May 29-30 and “Love Letters” June 26-28. \nTickets are $25 for the general public; $22 for NMU employees\, seniors and military; $15 for youth; and $5 for NMU students. They are available at tickets.nmu.edu.

SUMMARY:The Marquette Regional History Center Presents: A History of the Northern Michigan University Greenwood Nature Center: A Perspective by David Kronk
DESCRIPTION:The Marquette Regional History Center Presents:\nA History of the Northern Michigan University Greenwood Nature Center: A Perspective by David Kronk\nWednesday\, May 28\, 6:30 p.m. at the Marquette Regional History Center\nWest of Ishpeming in the mid-1980s\, environmental education and programming for area schools and the public could be found at the Greenwood Nature Center (GNC). Learn about the history of\, and people behind\, this community resource on the bank of the Greenwood Reservoir near Ishpeming. This presentation and discussion by David Kronk about the forgotten history of the nature center will feature a retrospective of the people\, partnerships\, and vision that brought the GNC to life.\nThe program will highlight the ongoing relevance of outdoor education methods for providing ecological education\, community learning\, and skill development\, and for modeling alternative energy implementation. Done well\, outdoor education provides more than just “nature programs” – it also serves by building community vision and demonstrating innovation.\nThis session will remind us of a lost piece of area history – and will hopefully inspire new leaders interested in re-imagining local outdoor education. Whether you experienced Greenwood Nature Center firsthand as a student\, teacher\, parent\, or principal\, or whether you’re hearing of it now for the first time\, we think you’ll be glad you attended this event! Join us in looking back and imagining forward.\n$5 suggested donation.  For more info visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571.

SUMMARY:U.P. Pride Fest
DESCRIPTION:UP Rainbow Pride is thrilled to announce that the 10th Anniversary Upper Peninsula Pride Festival will return to Mattson Lower Harbor Park in Marquette\, Michigan on Saturday\, June 14\, 2025!\nFor over a decade\, U.P. Pride Fest has been a vibrant celebration of acceptance\, love\, community\, and visibility. More than just a festival\, it is a vital space for LGBTQ+ individuals\, their families\, and allies to gather\, celebrate\, and honor the ongoing fight for LGBTQ+ rights. As the Upper Peninsula’s largest and longest-running Pride event\, the festival continues to grow-thanks to the unwavering support of local and regional businesses and organizations.\nSince moving to the heart of downtown Marquette in 2021\, U.P. Pride Fest has remained free\, family-friendly\, and community-driven\, powered entirely by volunteers.. This year\, organizers are aiming higher than ever\, with a fundraising goal of $20\,000 to make the 10th anniversary celebration the biggest and most inclusive yet.\nSupport is more than a donation-it’s a message to LGBTQ+ youth\, families\, and community members that they belong.
