SUMMARY:"Alice in Wonderland"
DESCRIPTION:  \nNorthern Michigan University’s CO/LAB Dance Company will present Alice in Wonderland: An Immersive Experience\, described as a “mesmerizing whirlwind of color and movement that weaves through the audience like a living\, breathing dreamscape.” The performance is unique in that it will take place in an intimate downtown Marquette space that allows the audience to be more actively engaged\, interacting with the dancers and scenery elements. \n“Immersive theater experiences are the next big thing\,” said CO/LAB Artistic Director Karina Johnson. “They’re taking over New York City\, L.A. and many other places across the country. I believe we might be one of the first universities to attempt it. It requires a lot of teamwork and planning to pull it off\, and we have a very large team of students collaborating on all aspects of this show\, which is really exciting. I think it’s something the community should not miss\, because it’s on the forefront of where theatrical art is right now.” \nThe performance will be held at 145 W. Washington Street\, on the second floor (the former Vera Bar). Showtimes are at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Jan. 30-Feb. 1 and Feb. 6-8\, with Saturday matinees both weeks at 1 and 3 p.m. \nThe immersive Alice in Wonderland is distinct in plot and presentation from previous versions depicted in television and film. It features an original score by Dominic Mrakovcich\, NMU Theatre and Dance sound and media supervisor/engineer\, and contemporary ballet choreography by Johnson. \n“Sometimes contemporary ballet is more versatile for telling a story\, more relatable to an audience and a little easier to manipulate amongst an audience\,” she added. “It seems every student in the department has their hands on this project in one way or another. Charlotte Somerville\, our McNair Scholar\, spent all summer researching how to properly light costumes worn by performers. That’s a new kind of technology that our students have never used before.” \nA Wildcat Performing Arts Academy Pre-Performance Workshop for ages 12 and under will be held in advance of the sensory-friendly performance on Saturday\, Feb. 1. \n“I’m excited because the kids are going to be able to experiment with lighting and sound\, and interact with the performers and production crew\,” said Jalina McClain\, stage management supervisor and Wildcat Performing Arts Academy managing director. “Charlotte will explain the process related to LEDs and costumes at a level appropriate for those ages. They’ll also be able to see the light and audio boards—how they’re used during the production and how pushing certain buttons creates different effects—and have an opportunity to dance in different lighting to view it from the performers’ perspective. It’s going to be a different kind of learning experience. \n“A lot of young kids who aren’t exposed to theater as much don’t know all that goes into a show behind the scenes. This lets them know there are other options\, outside of being a performer on stage. They can make costumes\, light the dancers or create mushroom chairs for the set. Because this show is so tech-heavy\, I think it’s a good opportunity to showcase those aspects.” \nTickets for the production are $25 for the general public; $22 for NMU employees\, seniors and military; $15 for youth; and $5 for NMU students. They can be purchased at nmu.universitytickets.com.

SUMMARY:L'Anse - Baraga County Chamber hosting Lunch & Learn Event
DESCRIPTION:Domestic Violence & Local Businesses –Lunch & Learn Event \n  \nBaraga County Shelter Home will be the guest presenter at an upcoming Lunch & Learn event on Wednesday\, January 15th\, hosted by the Baraga County Chamber. Celeste Hendrickson\, Executive Director of the Shelter Home\, will be sharing information about how local businesses are affected by domestic violence in some surprising ways.  “Unfortunately\, society considers the topic of domestic violence as a ‘family matter’ when in fact it is a societal issue that affects local businesses every day in major ways” shares Hendrickson. She explains that 1 in 3 Michigan families are impacted\, with the nation\nsuffering a $13 billion loss annually because of domestic violence. Hendrickson will be sharing information about how this loss is seen in local businesses\, as well as what owners and employees can do to lessen the economic impact and better support employee health. \n  \nBaraga County Shelter Home provides a wide range of free\, confidential advocacy services to survivors including emergency shelter\, legal and housing advocacy\, and a 24/7 crisis line. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic abuse\, call the crisis line at (906) 524-7078. \n  \nThe Lunch & Learn session will be held on January 15th at 11:30 AM in the Chamber Board room\, located at 1 N. Main Street in L’Anse. The event is open to anyone interested in attending\, with lunch provided free of charge. For more information\, contact the Chamber office at (906) 353-8808.

SUMMARY:Ahmeek Ice Rink Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:The Emil Aho Memorial Ice Rink in Ahmeek\, commonly known as the Ahmeek Ice Rink\, has been a community recreational gathering place for nearly 40 years. The rink will host a Grand Opening Ceremony to celebrate the installation of its new boards\, a project made possible by the successful fundraising campaign\, “Outdoor Recreation for All – Build the Boards Project.”  The event will include a ribbon-cutting \nceremony to officially unveil the newly revitalized rink. \n  \nThe event will take place on Friday\, February 2\, 2025\, at 2:00 PM at the Ahmeek Ice Rink on School Street in Ahmeek\, MI. \n  \nThis milestone celebration honors not only the completion of the board installation but also the collaborative spirit that brought the project to life. Through a community-driven fundraising campaign\, the community raised $100\,000 to replace the rink’s deteriorated boards\, ensuring a safe and sustainable space for skaters of all ages. \n  \nEvent Highlights:\n● Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony to officially mark the rink’s reopening\n● Free Hot Chocolate to keep attendees warm\n● Jim’s Pizza Available for Purchase\n● Open Skating to experience the new boards firsthand \n  \nAbout the Ahmeek Ice Rink and the Outdoor Recreation for All – Build the Boards Project Established in 1984\, the Emil Aho Memorial Ice Rink\, also known as the Ahmeek Ice Rink\, has long been a cherished community space for winter recreation. Maintained by dedicated volunteers\, the rink provides daily access for skating and hockey during winter and serves as a versatile venue for community events in the off-season. \n  \nLaunched in Fall 2023 as a special project through the Keweenaw Community Foundation\, the Outdoor Recreation for All – Build the Boards Project addressed the unsafe and deteriorating condition of the Ahmeek Ice Rink’s boards\, which had suffered years of wear due to harsh Keweenaw winters. Thanks to the generosity of over 100 donors\, including residents\, businesses\, and charitable foundations\, the rink has been revitalized\, ensuring its use for skating\, hockey\, and community activities for decades. This renovation reflects the community’s unwavering commitment to preserving and enhancing this vital recreational space.
