LANSING
ART, MUSIC, THEATER, and
ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE
Lansing has great art, music, theater, and entertainment, but it took living here awhile before I knew about it. Art promotion here is terrible, so I've decided to promote them myself. If I don't have a link to the organization's web page, I couldn't find their web address or they don't have one. What I provide instead is a typed copy of their brochures. And hey, I make typing errors and schedules change. I do not represent any of these organizations in an official capacity, so you're best to give them a call.

Let's start with the greatest art form known to man: MUSIC!

I just took in a wonderful evening of folk music at the 10 Pound Fiddle Coffeehouse, and it was just an "open mike" session! I had heard of this forum before, but never found my way there until recently. They really don't have a cafe, or a 10 pound fiddle for that matter. Rivals "Wild Hog in the Woods", a coffeehouse I loved in Madison (They didn't have a cafe, a wild hog, or a woods)! 10-Pound does sponsor professional musicians, like Sally Rogers who I once saw perform with Claudia Schmidt--mesmerizing! Their open mike sessions are at the Unitarian Universalist Church at 855 Grove (across from the East Lansing Public Library, just east of Abbott St., south of Saginaw St.
