North America's largest interactive comedy murder mystery dinner theatre show is now playing in Lansing, MI! Solve a hilarious true crime murder mystery while you feast on a fantastic dinner. Just beware! The culprit is hiding in plain sight somewhere in the room, and you may find yourself as a Prime Suspect before you know it!

We're making art inspired by the work of Italian painter Michelangelo!
We'll learn a bit about Michelangelo before we get started creating. One of the things Michelangelo is famous for is painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. So we're going to create like him by drawing or painting on a "ceiling" by getting underneath our tables and chairs. Paint will be washable, but wearing clothes that can get messy is recommended.

Tuesday June 17 | 11am – 12pm
Our friends from Potter Park Zoo's "Zoo in Your Neighborhood" program will bring some of the zoo to us for a special "Zoo Fun" Picnic Playdate storytime!
