This loop hike will cover approximately 4.1 miles of rugged terrain and is an advanced hike.

Six Men Dressed Like Joseph Stalin
2025-05-15 19:30 - 21:30, 2025-05-16 19:30 - 21:30, 2025-05-17 19:30 - 21:30 | Michigan
Northern 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.
According 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.
Nora 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.
In 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.
“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.”
The 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.
“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.”
Six 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.
Tickets 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.

Calumet - Family Fun Fair and Resource Fair
2025-05-17 12:00 - 15:00 | Calumet Colosseum, 110 Red Jacket Road, Calumet, Michigan, 49913
Community members are invited to join Copper Shores Community Health Foundation and Keweenaw Support 4 Healthy Minds at the Family Fun Fair and Resource Fair on Saturday, May 17 from 12 to 3 p.m. at the Calumet Colosseum. Both events are open to the public and free to attend.

The Family Fun Fair, put on by Copper Shores Outreach & Education, will feature games and activities, free food and door prizes for all ages. People are encouraged to take part in this wonderful opportunity to come together and connect with their kids and loved ones, both as families and as a part of the broader community.

“A lot of prosocial behaviors come from being with our parents,” said Callisto Cortez, Copper Shores Outreach & Education youth development specialist. “Building a sense of community helps healthy child development, and in adulthood can serve as a motivating factor for maintaining mental health. Bring your family to have a good time and flourish in the happiness.”

At the same time as the Family Fun Fair, Keweenaw Support 4 Healthy Minds is hosting the Resource Fair in the ballroom of the Colosseum. The Resource Fair highlights more than 25 local agencies and organizations that provide mental health support, substance misuse help, alternative therapies and more. In addition to community members actively seeking support, local government officials, law enforcement, employers, health care and other Copper Country professionals are encouraged to attend.

“We want to challenge the common belief that the Copper Country does not have any resources,” said Michelle Morgan of Keweenaw Support 4 Healthy Minds. “Sometimes people don’t even try to reach out, fearing that there are not enough resources to help them. Come see what we have to offer. Learn about services and support that you can refer people to and join us in celebrating the many very talented and devoted community members who want to help others.”
