Giving it to the GRC
Hey, we may not have a new show coming up soon, but if you need your IF fix, then come on out to the Grand River Connection networking event on Tuesday April 28 at Perspectives 2 in Old Town.
We'll be giving them a taste of what they've been missing with a scene from Sexual Perversity in Chicago and a scene from Parallel Lives.

It LIVES!!!!
That's right.
We're back for another season and this time we're kickin it with the classics: Henrick Ibsen's Doll's House and Charles S. Gordon's Wappin Wharf.
We're streamlining with just two productions to help us focus on quality and to ease our additional duties as the resident theatre company of Olivet College.
Don't worry, we're not leaving Lansing. We're just adding a weekend for each production in Olivet and working with the department to provide intership opportunities and classes.
IF Co-Founder Daryl Thompson will be directing the Ibsen classic this fall (dates and times are still being finalized) and auditions will be coming up in August.
IF Artistic Director, jeff croff, will be directing the Frightening Comic Pirate Tale in the spring (Dates and auditions TBA).
So, buckle up folks and lets get ready to do some theatre!

Parallel Lives Returns to Lansing
We've got a venue, 402 S. Washington Square. We've got dates May 23, 24, 30 & 31. We've got the actors, Laura Croff and Sara Frank and we're ready to rock and roll.
For those of you unfamiliar with Parallel Lives, this is a show of about 15 scenes and takes Laura and Sara through about 18 different characters. From supreme beings determining how the whole procreation thing works to geriatric seniors at their first Vegan, Feminist, Womyn's performance.
Please join us as these amazing ladies once again dazzle, entertain, provoke and make you laugh.

Around and Around She Goes
Where we'll stop nobody knows.
Okay, so that sounds self-pitying and melancholy enough.
Why you may be asking could or would we be down in the mouth. We've got an amazing group of actors and technicians that are fearless, tireless and quite often down right mad. So, what could be the downside.
The downside is the seemingly endless quest for a home. Soon, we'll be performing the Odyssey in rep, because it's the only thing we know.
So, if there are any land barons, anonymous angels or just plain generous folks we're desperately seeking to "rely on the kindness of strangers."

Casting Crisis
Ah, the joys of live theatre.
Due to illness and scheduling conflicts, we are currently in dire need of two female actors for our upcoming production of Valparaiso by Don DeLillo. The show rehearses Sunday-Thursday the next two weeks and then performances are October 26, 27, November 2 and 3 at 8 p.m. All performances will be at our new home, Michigan Home Grown Music, 2312 E. Michigan Ave. Lansing, MI.
The roles are:
Reporter (any age) will be play two different reporters in two seperate interviews
Livia (30-50) wife of the main character, Michael Majeski. Will appear on stage in a pregnancy suit for act 2.
Both roles are pretty light on lines, but are crucial to the telling of the story.
