'Letters from Brno' Screening, Producer Talk at NMU
2024-10-07 17:00 - 20:00 | MI
Northern Michigan University will host a film screening of “Letters from Brno,” an award-winning documentary that relays a powerful, heart-wrenching story of parental love and unspeakable sacrifice during the Holocaust. The showing is at 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7, in Mead Auditorium (2701 Science Building). The film’s writer and producer, Karen Kruger, will participate in a discussion afterward.
In a 45-year search for clues to her mother’s past, a woman uncovers the tragic fate of her grandparents from the eyewitness accounts of their letters written during the Nazi occupation of Czechoslovakia. The film’s awards include best documentary at the Prague International Film Festival and best feature documentary at the Brno Film Festival.
In December 1976, during a college break, Kruger learned that her mother, Erika Stefanie Turkl (Neumann) was Jewish. This discovery marked the beginning of Kruger’s insatiable curiosity about her mother’s family history and the start of a 45-year journey to uncover her mother’s past.
In the summer of 2019, Kruger traveled to Brno and Prague, Czechoslovakia, and to Cornwall, England to finally take the necessary time to research her mother’s past. She spent three months working in archives, meeting with experts from the Jewish Museum of Prague and traveling to Terezin and Boskovice, Alexovice and other towns. She traced her mother’s 1939 journey from her Brno to England via Kinder transports of 669 Czechoslovakian Jewish children arranged by British stockbroker Nicholas Winton.
When Kruger returned in the Fall of 2019, she knew that she needed to work full-time on the project. She decided to retire from her school administrator’s position and dedicate her time, effort and finances to researching the family history.
Jeffery Gary, a documentary filmmaker, learned of Kruger’s project and offered to interview/film her to record her recent research trip “while it was still fresh in her mind.” During the first two sessions of filming, Jeffery realized that the story of Kruger’s mother’s family had all the components of a documentary film and he suggested that she consider telling the story on film first instead of writing a book—which she had originally planned to do.

Each year, since 1987, believers have gathered nationwide on the first Sunday of every October to make a public, prayerful, peaceful stand for Life. “If my people, who bear my name, humble themselves, pray and seek my face and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. My eyes will now be open and my ears attentive to prayer from this place.”

"Cabaret" at NMU
2024-10-05 19:30 - 21:30, 2024-10-03 19:30 - 21:30 | MI
Northern Michigan University will present the daring and provocative musical Cabaret Oct. 3-5 and 10-12. The play is set in a Berlin nightclub as the 1920s draw to a close. It explores the tumultuous life of the city’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich.
“It’s a really interesting musical—more dark and gritty than happy-go-lucky—but very fun to put on,” said director and choreographer Kristen Beth Ludwig. “It was a time of economic depression and the rise of fascism. It’s a political musical, in a sense, but not about an election. Part of why we put it into our season this year is because we are in a very divided time in this country, and that is exactly where Germany was back then. Many of the themes are still relevant today, and that just shows we still haven’t learned from our history, and we’re going to continue that cycle if we can’t break free from it.
“In the U.S., we talk about the free love era of the 1960s, but that was very prevalent in the late ‘20s and early ‘30s in Germany, before Adolph Hitler came to power. The nightlife was thriving, and the people who work at the Kit Kat Club in Cabaret are very free with their sexuality, very open with their gender fluidity.”
The source material for the musical is Christopher Isherwood’s novel The Berlin Stories, about his experience in the city in the Jazz Age early ‘30s on the cusp of Hitler’s ascent. The book inspired a previous play, I Am a Camera, which portrays the writer as a detached observer from everything swirling around him. In Cabaret, on the other hand, the American novelist character named Cliff Bradshaw is actively involved in the plot.
“Cliff is intent on writing his next great American novel,” Ludwig added. “He’s already tried London and Paris for inspiration, but finds himself in Berlin. He gets seduced by the nightlife and the Kit Kat Club, where there’s an emcee who is like a puppet master for this memory play. Cliff is immediately taken with this English singer, Sally Bowles, an eccentric, fascinating woman who ends up talking her way into living with him and starting a relationship.”
A side story involves Fraulein Schneider, the owner of the boarding house where Cliff rents an apartment. She tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish.
NMU will be performing the 1998 Broadway revival version of Cabaret, which was directed by Sam Mendes. It featured Alan Cumming putting his stamp on the emcee role originated by Joel Grey, and Natasha Richardson as Sally Bowles. The revival ran for five or six years and brought in several guest stars for the leading roles.
The choreography was by Rob Marshall, who also directed and choreographed the movie musical Chicago. Bob Fosse had famously choreographed the 1972 Cabaret movie starring Grey and Liza Minnelli. Ludwig said she pays homage to both in her original choreography for the NMU production.
The NMU cast arrived on campus before classes started for a week-long boot camp to learn all of the music and staging for most of the big production numbers.
“We have a live pit band for the first time in many years for the fall musical; it’s being conducted by my brother-in-law Matt Ludwig, who retired as band director at Marquette Senior High School. Set designer Lex van Blommestein designed a runway that projects forward from the stage, bringing the action as close to the audience as possible. And our cast is phenomenal. Kendyl Dahlstrom does a fantastic job playing Sally Bowles. Logan Newcomb, who played Wayne in Puffs last season, is our Cliff Bradshaw. And Michael Ahlstrom, a Marquette native and crowd favorite, is the emcee.”
Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, Oct. 3-5 and 10-12, with a 1 p.m. matinee on Oct. 12. A sensory friendly Theatre for All matinee will be offered at 1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 5. Tickets are $25 for the general public; $22 for NMU employees, seniors and military; $15 for youth; and $5 for NMU students. They can be purchase at nmu.universitytickets.com.

Pasture Walk – Western UP By Frank Wardynski

Frank Wardynski will be hosting a pasture walk scheduled for October 5, at 10:00am ET until about noon or maybe a little longer. Location, 18360 Firesteel Rd, Ontonagon, MI 49953.

My plan for the morning is to talk about new grazing practices I have been using this year. I am implementing practices I learned at a Soil Health Academy that discusses management for regenerative agriculture. We will discuss both the grazing practices along with the tools and methods used to evaluate soil health. We will be looking at soil dug up with a spade and water infiltration and comparing various grazing practices. There are challenges and drawbacks to these grazing practices. We will discuss those as well. Lunch to follow.

Who should attend? The educational content will be directed towards farmers interested in grazing livestock and improving soil health, however, any non-farmers wanting attend to learn more about how their food is grown are more than welcome.

Houghton - Brew Street
2024-10-04 17:00 - 22:00 | Lake Shore Drive, Houghton, Michigan, 49931
Brew Street (Lakeshore Drive), where a lively beer garden with music and food trucks will be set up. Friends and neighbors can unwind together wearing their flannels on the pier. Expect great beer pours, regional food trucks from across the UP and a brief history lesson about the Lakeshore’s development over the years by the Carnegie Museum. Brew Street is a fundraiser for the Carnegie Museum, a Keweenaw National Historical Park Heritage Site.
Brew Street opens from 5-10 p.m. and will allow all ages to enjoy the bands, history presentation and food trucks on the Houghton Pier. The adult beverage area will be 21+ for purchasing and consuming alcohol on Brew Street.

A 1917 map over what is now the Houghton Pier shows that Lakeshore used to be called “Brew Street” from Isle Royale to Dodge.

The history and idea behind Brew Street originated from Houghton’s original lakeshore layout. Brew Street ran from Dodge to Isle Royale Street, between the railroad track and Shelden Avenue. It was located behind what used to be Haas brewery. The City of Houghton has never lost touch with its resilient spirit, and Plaidurday’s Brew Street is a perfect opportunity to stake your claim in the Keweenaw’s fall festivities. Follow up Friday’s fun with a Plaid Color Run on Saturday and Houghton’s Fall Fest. Brew Street is put on by Visit Keweenaw, the Keweenaw Chamber of Commerce, City of Houghton and the Carnegie Museum.

Houghton - Plaidurday
2024-10-04 13:00 | Houghton High School, 1603 Gundlach Road, Houghton, Michigan, 49931
Last year, Houghton’s Plaidurday celebration made a bold attempt to break a world record by gathering over 1,700 plaid-clad participants on the Houghton High School Football Field. The community rallied together in true UP spirit, proving that plaid isn’t just a pattern – in the Keweenaw, it’s a way of life!

Building on that momentum, Plaidurday 2024 is expanding to include a new event that promises to keep the good times rolling. This year’s photo will be at 1 p.m. with a call time of 12:30 for attendees at the Houghton High School football field. Join for the photo and hang around town for the afternoon. In the evening, folks can head down to Brew Street (Lakeshore Drive), where a lively beer garden with music and food trucks will be set up. Friends and neighbors can unwind together wearing their flannels on the pier. Expect great beer pours, regional food trucks from across the UP and a brief history lesson about the Lakeshore’s development over the years by the Carnegie Museum.
