Opening for a band at shows is a lot like playing the lottery - you never know what to expect.

After having made its debut in Ann Arbor in 1966, Alice Childess' play "Wedding Band" returns from a 31-year hiatus. This new production is proud to have Broadway actress and Tony Award nominee Michele Shay as its director.
Childess is the first black woman to have had her work produced professionally off-Broadway. This then led to more opportunities for other black playwrights to have their work produced professionally. Although she has written numerous plays, Childess is perhaps best known for her book "A Hero Ain't Nothin' but a Sandwich," which was controversial enough to have been banned by a Long Island school district in the mid-'70s.'Wedding Band' to march into Trueblood

No passports are required this weekend to visit the former Soviet Union. Basement Arts will take you there with its production of the original play "Moscow."
Written and directed by LSA senior Gordon Smith, "Moscow" adds new flavor to classic Chekovian drama. Smith's play serves as a sequel to Chekov's "Three Sisters." While Chekov's play focused on two of the sisters for the most part, Smith focuses on the third sister Olga and their brother Andre.Basement Arts to showcase 'Moscow'
