SUMMARY:NMU Presents 'Into the Woods' Musical
DESCRIPTION:Northern Michigan University Theatre and Dance will present Into the Woods\, a fantasy musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine\, Sept 25-27 and Oct 2-4. This “darkly enchanting” production blends familiar fairy tale characters with profound themes of desire\, consequence and hope. \n“Into the Woods begins with characters everyone recognizes\, like Cinderella\, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood\, but Act II gets\, as most Sondheim pieces do\, much more mature and more personal\,” said director Paul Truckey. “Everybody goes into the woods at some point in their life\, and this show explores what happens when you do.” \nAlong with its emotional resonance\, Into the Woods delivers plenty of comedy. The pompous\, over-the-top princes are audience favorites\, and the intertwining plotlines keep the action fast-paced and surprising. Truckey said the show begins with a wish and ends with a wish\, reminding audiences of both the optimism and the risks that come with chasing dreams. He explained that this shift is what makes the piece so powerful. \n“The first act shows characters who are almost one-dimensional in their goals; they want something\, and they go after it\,” he said. “But the second act transforms them into three-dimensional figures. We see them wrestle with grief\, responsibility and how to move forward when life doesn’t turn out the way they imagined.” \nMore than three decades after its Broadway debut\, Into the Woods remains timely. Its message about community\, resilience and facing the unknown strikes a chord with modern audiences navigating their own challenges. The blend of humor\, tragedy and hope ensures that the story speaks to all ages\, offering both entertainment and reflection. \nThis production also highlights the strength and growth of NMU Theatre and Dance. The department welcomed 60 new freshmen this fall\, its largest incoming class to date\, which is a testament to its continued success and reputation. \n“The cast is full of seniors down to freshmen\,” said Truckey. “They have fabulous voices and are great actors; just incredible to work with all around. We’re doing incredible things here at the Forest Roberts Theatre. All the shows we put on are just terrific every year\, and we’re doing more of them. The quality of kids that we’re getting now in the BFA programs is just amazing\, and our audience support has always been absolutely tremendous.” \nShowtimes are 7:30 p.m.\, with a 1 p.m. sensory-friendly Theatre For All matinee Saturday\, Sept 27\, and an additional 1 p.m. regular matinee on Oct 4. 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 purchased at nmu.universitytickets.com.

SUMMARY:Northern Tier\, Artist Reception Finnish American artist Eric Aho
DESCRIPTION:The Finlandia Art Gallery and Finlandia Foundation National (FFN) are pleased to present Northern Tier\, an exhibition of oil paintings by Finnish American artist Eric Aho. The exhibit will be on display from September 18 to November 13\, 2025\, at the Finlandia Art Gallery\, located in the Finnish American Heritage Center in Hancock.  \nA reception for the artist will take place on Thursday\, October 9\, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\, with an artist talk beginning at 7:20 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \nAho will also be participating in Finlandia Foundation’s first Artist in Residency program\, coming to the Copper Country in early October to find inspiration in our lush forests and pristine shoreline. During his residency\, Aho will complete several finished artworks which will be on display alongside 25 works sent from his Vermont studio.  \nFFN recognized Eric Aho as Artist of the Year from 2022-2024\, honoring his outstanding contributions to contemporary art and celebrating his deep connections to his Finnish American culture and traditions. This exhibition and residency serve as a culmination to his contributions as Artist of the Year. \nAho is a third-generation Finnish American living in Vermont. His grandfather emigrated to the United States in 1903\, followed by his grandmother and uncle in 1906. His aunt and father were born in the Finnish community of Sugar Creek\, Ohio\, in 1917 and 1920\, respectively. Shortly after his father’s birth\, the family relocated to the vibrant Finnish community in Fitchburg and Townsend\, Massachusetts. \nAho maintains strong personal and professional ties to his ancestral Finland and credits his Finnish American upbringing as a continuing source of inspiration and influence in his work. \nHis paintings represent the Finnish way of life\, strongly connected to nature\, sauna and community. In his Finlandia Art Gallery exhibit Northern Tier\, Aho will exhibit paintings that are shaped by both memory and direct observation of northern boreal forests\, forests that stretch across high northern latitudes. Providing a particularly rich and complex subject for Aho\, northern boreal forests represent both a biome and a wellspring for his imagination. For many years\, Aho has painted across vast geographic locations\, from the northern United States to the Laurentian Mountains of Canada\, and across to Scandinavia and the Finnish taiga. \n“These trees-along with their verdant understories and varied terrains\, often punctuated by streams\, rapids\, and glacial erratics-register in my eye and imagination as the forests central to our archetypal associations\,” says Aho. “My forest paintings\, like much of my work\, invite multiple meanings and interpretations. I’m inclined to suggest unseen human presence in the forest through the materiality of paint itself. Oil color oozes and tenses\, puckers and shines\, drawing our attention to the human-like qualities of the forest beyond the limbs\, trunks\, veins\, and crowns we share in common.” \n“Forests are wild and mysterious places\, but they are also familiar refuges\,” continues Aho. “At times\, they’re grand and architectural-cathedral-like\, with arcades\, columns\, vaults\, and aisles. Other woods are smaller and feel intimate. Their spaces\, organized like rooms\, hallways\, foyers\, and thresholds\, evoke the places we live in and inhabit. In these ways\, the Northern Tier paintings are as much about worlds within the forested places as they are about the world of paint and its magical ability to transform space and time.” \nNorthern Tier will be on display through November 13\, 2025.
