Around Our Towns: Stuff To Do

Local tunes, karaoke, TV and a smidge of theater

Costumed Karaoke
Friday night is the Halloween Shindig at NC Sportsmans Club with a costume contest starting at 730pm. We include this because we now there are costume enthusiasts among you who are always looking for an opportunity to alter your identity and channel some serious imagination. 
Besides there’s Karaoke as well.
Doors open 530pm and if you come as a clown you are not our friend.
Just saying.

Tunes
The RStop Saloon in downtown Newaygo  promises “You’ve never experienced a show like this” whan Emma Loo & Sam take to the stage starting at 8pm. We know nothing about this but who can resist a come on like that?

Adam Labeaux is taking to the stage at Newaygo Brewing Co. for their Acoustic Lunch Noon to 4pm Saturday.

Theater
Yay Community Theater!
Stage Door Players in White Cloud  presents ‘Anne Frank and Me’ Friday and Saturday starting at 7pm. Downtown in the Cloud.
The cool thing about community theater is the whole community thing. The chance to see folks you know giving it their all on stage.
And Mama Mia is about to descend on the Grant Fine Arts Center. The LionHeart musicals have yet to disappoint so grab your tickets while you can.

TV Notes: If you haven’t been a fan of “This is Us” the compelling and well written series that has delivered shows ranging from really good to incredible you either haven’t taken the time to watch it or feel confused because you didn’t see it from the start or prefer your TV time to be occupied by the standard crime, hospital, law firm etc. dramas that churn out formula driven scripts that always seem to substitute long meaningful looks for dialogue. 
It’s in season 4 but I’m speaking to the folks who have already entered the world of binge watching and are well acquainted with the advantages of On Demand.
 Pay attention if you will to the writing because it is some of the most well crafted work I have witnessed on the tube since the days of West Wing.
And Netflix releases season two of The Kaminsky Method Friday featuring  Michael Douglas and the incomparable Alan Arkin. You’re either going to like this or not. If you’re around  say, 50-55 years old you will likely find it entertaining.
Over 60?
​It will be hilarious.
