He has toured as a multi-woodwind artist with Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis, appeared in residencies curated by Terri Lyne Carrington, and performed with Karriem Riggins and Etienne Charles. The 27-year-old has also been deeply active across Detroit’s musical landscape, moving fluidly through Latin, R&B, and techno settings. Taking the stage as the Kasan Belgrave Sextet, the ensemble reflects the same circle of mentorship that shaped him. The group features bassist Jonathan Muir-Cotton, currently rotating in Christian Sands’ trio, drummer Louis Jones known as WavyLou who has recently worked with ELEW and Johnny O’Neal, and pianist Brendon Davis, a virtuosic voice who studied briefly with Chick Corea and is established in gospel composition and arranging. Trumpeter Allen Dennard brings a trailblazing sound and has shared stages with Dwele and Mike Phillips, while Michael Abbo, adept on both trombone and bass, has performed with Johnny Oneal and Dafnis Prieto.

    Konrad Lee's Pre-Halloween Shenanigans

    Detroit · Batch Brewing Company, 1400 Porter St

    Celebrate the spooky season a little early with a lively variety showcase led by Konrad Lee, a versatile lounge singer with acrobatic vocals, Detroit ties, and a noted fondness for Red Roof Inns across the country. He reconnects with long-time collaborators for an evening of music, juggling, old-school vaudeville flair, balloons and bubbles, risqué verse, and delightfully surreal clowning. Award-winning artist One Single Rose appears with a resume that spans poetry, playwriting, spoken word, music, acting, and filmmaking, including three self-published poetry collections with both nice and naughty chapbooks, plus distinctions such as the inaugural Detroit Black Music Spoken Word Award and being the first poet published after the Broadside-Lotus Press merger. Goiter the Clown explores the clown condition by blending Joneser philosophy, reflective musings, and a streak of mayhem designed to spark the human psyche. From Grand Rapids by way of Chicago, Will Juggle brings sharp humor, champion-caliber skills, and an award-winning beard. Rounding out the bill, Cleveland’s husband-and-wife duo Pinch and Squeal deliver musical neo-vaudeville mischief full of whimsy, knowingly corny sentiment, high-octane antics, and timeworn jokes, calling to mind a mix of Penn and Teller with Burns and Allen.

    Ecological Restoration

    Dundee · Searles Nature Preserve, 583 Ypsilanti St

    Searles Nature Preserve, owned by Washtenaw Bird & Nature Alliance, is a 50-acre natural area that protects the headwaters of Stony Creek. This restoration workday focuses on removing invasive species and boosting habitat diversity to benefit local bird populations. Research shows that 97 percent of North American land birds rely on animal protein, mostly insects, to raise their young, and many insects depend on specific native host plants. A healthy and diverse plant community is therefore vital for sustaining birds. Tools and guidance are provided. Participants are encouraged to bring leather work gloves if available, with additional gloves on hand to borrow. Wear long pants, tall socks, and closed-toe shoes or boots.

    Authors!

    Toledo · Main Library

    Bethany Joy Lenz appears in Toledo as part of the Authors! series to preview her forthcoming novel, The Betrayal of Cora Wexford. She will discuss why she chose to write a psychological thriller in Victorian London, share insights into her creative process, reflect on shifting from nonfiction to historical suspense, and describe how research into social history shapes her storytelling. The program includes a 45 minute talk followed by a short audience Q and A, and each admission comes with a copy of the book. Set in 1880s London, the story follows Cora Wexford, a 38 year old American expatriate who earns her living by painting portraits of the dead. Hoping to leave old secrets behind, she meets the charming Miles Vale while also accepting a commission from a suffragist to portray everyday women the system has overlooked. When a string of murders surfaces that echoes crimes associated with Jack the Ripper, Cora’s work becomes a dangerous fixation. As her sense of reality and her bond with Miles grow increasingly unsettled, she is forced to face a chilling unraveling close to home. Lenz is a New York Times bestselling writer whose memoir Dinner for Vampires was named to Time’s best of the year list. Known for her starring role in One Tree Hill, her screen work also includes Grey’s Anatomy, Dexter, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Hope Valley: 1874, and she is active as a recording artist, composer, and fine artist.

    The Poisoner

    Detroit · Marygrove Conservancy, 8425 McNichols Rd W

    At Marygrove Conservancy in Detroit, The Poisoner concludes a seven-city run with a story rooted close to home. This neo-noir stage thriller, sparked by the Flint water crisis, follows a reporter who returns to his hometown and uncovers a contaminated water supply, setting off ripples that are both deeply personal and politically charged. First presented in 2024 at New York’s La MaMa Experimental Theatre, the play marks the debut of Port Huron native M. M. Haney, with direction and development by two-time Obie Award recipient Lee Sunday Evans. The piece unpacks deception, the misuse of authority, and systemic negligence tied to early-2000s Midwestern water policy, asking audiences to consider a pressing question... how safe are we, really? Though fictional, the work highlights ongoing struggles in communities such as Flint, Jackson, and Newark, calling for accountability and constant vigilance in decisions that affect public health. It pays tribute to the persistence of journalists, artists, and activists who continue to elevate community voices in the pursuit of justice and change. Limited to three performances. Students and seniors with valid ID can take $5 off with the code FIVEOFF. Post-show conversations with special guests are planned, with further details to be shared.

    Mortuary Manor Public Investigation & Flashlight Tour

    Toledo · Mortuary Manor , 2907 Lagrange St.

    Eerie Excursions leads a public paranormal investigation and flashlight tour at Mortuary Manor in Toledo, a former funeral home shaped by decades of emotion, remembrance, and unexplained occurrences. Once known as the Urbanski Funeral Home, the site still reflects its past with former viewing rooms, preparation areas, and quiet corridors that investigators explore after dark. Reports from previous visits describe shadows sliding along walls, abrupt temperature shifts, unexplained footsteps in empty hallways, and a lingering sense of being watched. Options include a guided flashlight walkthrough that highlights the building’s history and reported activity, a four hour investigation that begins with a brief introduction and walkthrough before time to free roam, or an eight hour overnight designed for deeper exploration. The overnight session is limited to 20 participants for a quieter, more immersive experience. This event welcomes newcomers and experienced investigators alike. No prior background is needed, as the team explains investigation methods and equipment at the start, and seasoned attendees may bring their own gear. As one of Ohio’s newer locations for paranormal research, Mortuary Manor offers a rare chance to explore a site with little prior documentation and to experience what the building reveals when everything grows quiet.

    Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol

    Toledo · Stranahan Theater, 4645 Heatherdowns Blvd

    Right Angle Entertainment and Paul T. Couch present the national tour of Dolly Parton’s Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol, a musical featuring songs by eleven-time GRAMMY winner Dolly Parton with a book by David H. Bell and adaptation contributions from Bell, Curt Wollan, and Paul T. Couch. Set in the Smoky Mountains of East Tennessee during the 1930s, the tale reimagines Ebenezer Scrooge as the head of a mining company town whose fixation on profit keeps him from the spirit of the season. As a Christmas Eve snowstorm nears, his late business partner and three ghosts appear, urging him to look at life differently and recognize that love is the greatest gift. Beloved characters from Dickens meet Parton’s signature songwriting for a holiday musical meant to be enjoyed with loved ones.
