If you run quickly, you still have an outside chance to see Mary Teutsch in the Farmer's Alley Theatre production of Parade. There are shows at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday, June 25 and 26, and one more at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 27. (At this writing, the evening shows are shown as sold out on the Farmer's Alley website, but give the box office a call at 343-2727. You never know.) As Mark Wedel wrote in the Gazette, "It’s not the usual light musical fare. It’s the true story of a Jewish Yankee who gets lynched for the murder of a girl in 1913 Georgia. With music by Jason Robert Brown and a book by Alfred Uhry ('Driving Miss Daisy'), the 1998 musical lasted on Broadway for a couple of months, though it did win best book and best score Tony Awards." All who are missing the Barn Theatre this summer will also have a chance to see perennial favorite Scott Burkell. Tickets are $25, $23 for students and seniors.
Additional notes of interest from Thursday's Gazette involve rising musical stars from Gull Lake. Check out stories about Colin Kellogg and Ryan Etzcorn!

Almost-summer bonanza
This weekend is a big one for downtown Kalamazoo, with the Art Hop Friday night, the Do-Dah Parade and Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Fair Friday evening and all day Saturday, and the Greek Fest going on throughout. Check out the Richland flavor Saturday night, June 5, at midnight at the Greek Fest, when In Custody will be playing at the Arcadia Creek Festival Place.
Meanwhile, right here in Richland, the colorful artwork of Trish Joseph is at the Little Yellow Frame Shop, and metal artist/blacksmith Holly Fisher's sculptures are at the Blue Water Gallery.
All the while, Wednesday afternoons at the Richland Farmers' Market, held at the Richland Area Community Center from 3:30 to 6:30, usually bring some local music for your toe-tapping enjoyment as you shop.
By the way, the Richland Area Community Center is offering kids' music classes, including a Jumping Beans Kindermusik group and a recorder class. Check out the website for more info.
