Trouble arrives when two smugglers search for a stolen necklace hidden somewhere among the books. The living cast must choose, warn Margie and risk vanishing for good, or outwit the crooks without being noticed. Written by Todd Wallinger and directed by Brandon Gallerani, this production is presented at the James R. Hartman Theatre at Schoolcraft College.

    Bedouine

    Ann Arbor · Blue LLama Jazz Club, 314 S Main St

    Bedouine, the project of Azniv Korkejian, crafts intimate folk songs that rise from delicate fingerpicking into sweeping emotion. Her new album, Neon Summer Skin, lingers on the sensations of childhood safety and the pull of family, written after visiting her parents in Saudi Arabia and reflecting on growing up and the ache of leaving youth behind. The lyrics lean into specific memories, from the glow of a neon swimsuit and water threading through tangled hair to the solemn image of a lamb’s blood at a Syrian wedding, forming her first collection centered on a single theme. Working closely with longtime collaborator Gus Seyffert, and teaming on select tracks with Jonathan Rado alongside Michael and Brian D’Addario of the Lemon Twigs, she drew inspiration from the melodic touchstones of Todd Rundgren, Karen Carpenter, and Carole King. The production opens into a richer, more playful palette that can feel grand and orchestral, shimmering and dreamlike, with threads of psychedelia, bossa nova, and jazz. Her songwriting has earned praise from outlets including Pitchfork and Rolling Stone, along with an NPR Tiny Desk performance and tours with Fleet Foxes and Father John Misty.
