    Michigan Water Infrastructure Forum

    Virtual Event Only
    Free
    05:30 PM - 06:30 PM on Mon, 29 Nov 2021
    The passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Legislation and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) presents a real opportunity for Michigan to address its water infrastructure needs. These two bills provide billions of dollars that state and local governments can strategically invest to reimagine and rebuild Michigan’s crumbling water infrastructure. For the past two decades, Congressman Dan Kildee and Macomb County Water Commissioner Candice Miller have been staunch advocates for protecting Michigan’s most precious resource — our vast water supply. With 80% of the nation's freshwater surrounding our beautiful state, Kildee and Miller have been at the forefront of water quality restoration and protection. Moderated by Michigan Radio’s Zoe Clark, this forum will focus on the critical need for investment and what the infrastructure bill will help pay for, how local communities can leverage ARPA money, and what individual households can do to reduce water runoff and flooding —particularly in Southeast Michigan. The panel will be taking questions from the livestream audience via chat. Join us, Monday, November 29, 2021, at 5:30pm ET on the Great Lakes Now Facebook page, at michiganradio.org or this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKDkgTmbnOk

    Handel’s Messiah - UMS Choral Union - Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra - 2021

    $29-$43
    07:30 PM - 09:00 PM, every day through Dec 05, 2021.
    Born in Germany, Handel spent nearly 50 years based in London. In the 1730s, his interest in composing sacred oratorios grew, and his approach to the form focused on the human response to the divine. Over the course of just a few weeks in the summer of 1741, Handel composed the entirety of his oratorio Messiah, which had a triumphant premiere six months later at a new concert hall in Dublin. Nearly 300 years later, Messiah continues to fill Hill Auditorium with its ravishing beauty, brought to life by friends and colleagues from the community. Music director Scott Hanoian conducts the UMS Choral Union and the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra in this annual holiday tradition.<br><br> PERFORMANCES SATURDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2021 7:30 PM SUNDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2021 2:00 PM

    GIVE 'EM HELL HARRY

    $44-$46
    07:30 PM - 09:30 PM, every day through Dec 12, 2021.
    When Harry Truman was unexpectedly thrust into the U.S. Presidency in 1945, he was ridiculed by both the press and the public as “the little man from Missouri”. Seven years later when he left office, he was hailed the world over as one of the great leaders of the 20th Century. Now actor and former US Congressman Fred Grandy, well known from his years as Gopher on The Love Boat, offers a virtuoso turn as our 33rd President in a new production of Give Em Hell, Harry. The one-man show tells the inspirational story of the feisty mule trader’s son who rose from obscurity to successfully guide our country through one of the most turbulent periods in American history. Using Truman’s own words, Samuel Gallu’s play reminds us that the gentle wit and plain-spoken wisdom of Harry Truman is even more relevant and engaging today than when it premiered in 1975. 7:30PM on Weds-Thurs-Fri, 2:00 PM matinee on Sat-Sun Starring: Fred Grandy as Harry Truman Directed by Broadway’s Hunter Foster
