Bay City Players: Season 101 Show biz idiom: that’s a tough act to follow. Our Season 100 was that. How to top it? Answer: Season 101. It’s Great! A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM starts things off with music and belly laughs galore. A CAROL OF THE BIRDS, an original musical play by Leeds Bird and Kevin Cole, warms the heart with kids, humor, and love. In mid-winter, things heat up with a look at family troubles in Oklahoma with AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY. We welcome spring with a door-slamming farce loaded with laughs: LEND ME A TENOR. And, we end Season 101 dreaming the impossible dream: MAN OF LA MANCHA. One drama, a comedy, two musicals, and an original show written for us by Leeds Bird and Kevin Cole? Sensational!

Fall Will Be Cooking at the State Theatre The Willis Clan will be performing on the stage at the State, along with the Nelson Brothers doing their fantastic Christmas show! Don't miss the Bijou Orchestra and Bay City native, Ryan Vandenboom, teaming up to bring you a wonderful performance, and all of the holiday concerts and movies you could ask for! As always, don't forget to "MAKE A DATE AT THE STATE"!

Bay County Historical Museum Come see the final weeks of "Grown in Bay County", which ends in November. Then, come check out the industrial works of "Made in Bay County". Second Saturday lectures are also coming up with talks on Hells Half Mile Film and Music Festival, Pine Ridge Cemetery, and the History of Herman Hiss and Company.

Don't forget those last minute Christmas gifts! Come visit the museum gift shop and get that hard-to-find Bay County gift for the person who has everything (except a gift from the Bay County Historical Museum).

Bay Concert Band: Dark and Light On Tuesday, October 30, 2018 the Bay Concert Band will present “Music from the Dark Side”. This concert will feature works often associated with the Halloween season. Music from Sweeney Todd, Night on the Bare Mountain, The Addams Family, Danse Macabre—along with other dark side delights—will be performed. This program starts at 7:30 pm.

On Sunday, December 16, 2018, the Band will perform its annual Holiday concert including selections written by, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Andersen, and others. Popular Christmas favorites will be teamed with classical Christmas compositions to provide a varied and wonderful holiday experience. This program starts at 3:00 pm.

Both concerts are held in the auditorium at Bay City Central High School. Doors open a half hour before the performance. Admission is $5 and children 6th grade and under are admitted free. Hope to see you there!

Fall for Authors at BCLS Award-winning, New-York Times bestselling author Beverly Lewis will be touring Michigan in promotion of her latest release, The First Love, a stand-alone novel set in her beloved Lancaster County and featuring a heartwarming romance as well as the tent revivals of 1951 in Amish country. With nearly 20 million copies of her books in print, Beverly will greet fans and sign The First Love, along with other reader favorites, on Wednesday, September 7, 2018 at 3:30 pm in the Wirt Public Library (Kantzler Community Room), 500 Center Ave., Bay City. Lewis is not only the leading author of Amish fiction, but also its pioneer: she created the genre with the release of her first adult novel, The Shunning, in 1997. The resulting surges in both reader interest in and publisher output of Amish fiction gained national attention, garnering coverage by Time magazine, the BBC World News service, The Wall Street Journal, and Nightline, among others. There are more opportunities to hear authors and book reviewers this season! The Fall session of Booked for Lunch, BCLS’s longest-running bi-annual adult program, happens Fridays at 12:00-1:00 pm at Wirt Library. Bring a lunch if you like, but save room for free cookies and beverages courtesy of the Friends of the Bay County Libraries! No registration is necessary. If you can’t join us in person, tune in to our Facebook live feed of each presentation at www.facebook.com/baycountylibrary : September 21 Irene Miller (Author) presents Into No Man’s Land: A Historical Memoir September 28 R.J.

New Planetarium Programs Showcase Recent Upgrade The Delta College Planetarium reopened in September with brand new state-of-the-art equipment and it has several programs in the Fall schedule to highlight the improvements!

The world’s most advanced immersive space simulator system, called Digistar 6, is combined with new “laser phosphor” video projectors to provide more color, detail and realism. Come and see what this does for productions like “Phantom of the Universe,” “The Monster Light Show,” “Dream to Fly” and others specifically chosen to show off the new capabilities!

Besides the recorded film-like programs, the new system will allow for more live and interactive experiences that will be reflected in several specials including “The Native American Skywatchers” and “The Incredible Story of Apollo 8.” Other new features to look for will be live “dome-casting,” allowing us to connect with live presenters from other planetariums around the world, and high resolution terrain databases that will fly audiences over details on the earth and other planets in real time. See the full schedule lineup at www.delta.edu/planet.

Studio23: 16th Annual Black & White Affair Studio 23 presents the 16th Annual Black & White Affair. Please join us during this years holiday event as we conclude our 59th year as a local art center.

New What’s Next Member: Historic Masonic Temple

We are not new to Bay City! Designed by Pratt and Koeppe and built in 1893, the Historic Masonic Temple served numerous Masonic organizations until 2005 when it was purchased by Bay Arts Council. In 2011, the Friends of the Historic Masonic Temple was formed and granted its 501(c)3 designation. In 2017, the Friends became the owner of the building. Through the efforts of the Friends, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a building of significance to the State of Michigan. We are making improvements to the building and increasing arts programming in music, theater, and arts education. Our goal is to become a Community School for the Arts. Recently, we hosted a successful Discover Magic Camp teaching magic performance to 21 students. In May, we held the first Mitten State Music Revival in partnership with Bay City Morning and Noon Rotary Clubs. Each month we show a Midnight Monster movie. In October, the entire building turns into the Haunted Temple through the efforts of local junior and senior high students. This Fall we'll host several independent theater productions, musical events, and Holiday programs. Please join us in our historic building! Find out more at hmtbc.org
