500 North Capitol Avenue, Lansing, Michigan 48933
Some only see a cardboard sign, a tent, a shopping cart of belongings. But every person has a history, an identity – a name. I HAVE A NAME is an original play sharing stories of five Lansing area people who are or have been homeless.
Woven together with music, dance, poetry and photography, the play was written by LCC English professor Judy Allen MacRae, inspired by stories her students collected from Volunteers of America clients.

ConTempus Quartet is presenting the Once Upon a Quartet - "A Mouse in the House!" Story and Music by Mark Douglass as a part of the Lansing Symphony Orchestra's Family Series at the MSU Broad ArtLab. Once Upon a Quartet offers an exciting, fun, and engaging musical story-telling experience for toddlers through elementary school students. The story follows grandma (Rara), whose evening is interrupted by a mouse that follows her around the house. Although she is initially terrified by the mouse, she eventually becomes fond of it after taking the time to study the cute little creature. The accessible music and sweet story will be engaging to children and adults alike. Following the concert, there will be a musical petting zoo and arts and crafts activities.
This is a fun and charming work for children of all ages.
