Went for a concert. Music was great! Comfortable seating. The old theater has alot of classic touches!
My daughter and I and a friend attended the Monroe big band concert. All I can say it was absolutely totally awesome with all local talent and two vocalist that were Top Notch. I am never disappointed when I attend any of these performances.
Attended the "It's a Wonderful Life" play.... It was awesome. The theater is beautiful, old, and classic and worth the very reasonable price for admission. Local and Wonderful!
Your first ballet class at River Raisin Centre for the Arts
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
