Farewell party at Blue Water Gallery
On Friday, December 10, 6 to 9 p.m., be at the Blue Water Gallery for their reception for their Holiday Small Works Show, plus the photography of Dean Pennala and charcoal drawings by Dave Middleton. We are very sad to say that this is Blue Water's final reception: They'll be open through December 23, then closing after that. We're so sorry to see you go, Blue Water!

Love That Valentine's Weekend
Lots of options for you--and perhaps your Valentine, too--this weekend!
First, there's a brand new production of Jesus Christ Superstar produced by Center Stage Theatre at Comstock Auditorium--with Gull Lake's own Lisa Watson stage managing. See the show at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, February 11-13, or at 2 p.m. Sunday, February 14. Tickets are $12 ($10 for students and seniors), available at the door or online.
Even if you go on Friday, you could first stop in at the opening reception for Blue Water Gallery's new show . . . see the previous posting about that.
And, finally, you'll want to take your Valentine--whether it's your true love, your neighbor, or a friend of any age--to the My Funny Valentine afternoon at the Richland Area Community Center, 2 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, February 14. Lana Hawkins will be singing all the old standards while you enjoy desserts, coffee, and, if you wish, dancing. All ages are welcome. Tickets are $10 and benefit RACC.

Go wild in December
Okay, there's almost too much going on for any one person to get to, so let's split up and cover all this territory, because it's all fabulous.
For starters, this weekend is your last chance for two stage treats:
Willy Wonka, an extravaganza made possible in part by assistant stage manager Lisa Watson and property master Stacy Bartell, is at the Civic Theatre downtown. Call the box office (269-343-1313) or check their website.
Familiar Faces and Peculiar Places, four one-act plays by different authors, features one directed by Adam Carter. Shows are at 11 p.m. at the Whole Art Studio, 246 N. Kalamazoo Mall. Tickets are only $5, which includes coffee and doughnuts.
For your visual arts and Christmas shopping enjoyment:
"More Small Work," the Blue Water Gallery's holiday show, opens Friday, December 12, with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. and continues through January 7. Note, though, that the gallery will be closed from December 28 to January 4. It's located at 8860 N. 32nd Street.
And, of course, there's music:
Friday, December 12, Dave Marlatt, as part of Marlatt and Woodworth, plays traditional Irish music at the London Grill Singapore in downtown Kalamazoo from 8 to 11 p.m.
Saturday, December 13, 'round 9 p.m., Jordan Lunardini plays blues at the Stagecoach Barn, behind the Blackhawk Grill at that intersection of M-89, M-43, and C Avenue.
Insider's tip: On Sunday, December 14, at the First Presbyterian Church of Richland, veteran New York Metropolitan Opera basso Kenneth Young will sing a selection from Bach's Christmas Oratorio. Trumpeter Mike McMinn will accompany him, and that's also the day that the church choir presents its special annual festival of Christmas music and the spoken word. That's all during the regular church service at 9:45 a.m.
And Monday, December 15, the Gull Lake High School Choir sings for the season at the High School cafeteria at 7 p.m.
That should keep us all busy and happy all weekend. More to follow!
Please note, Performing Arts Foundation folk, that at Thursday's meeting, our longtime regular meeting day was changed. Notwithstanding what's printed in the Footlights newsletter that you're about to receive, the new meeting time for PAF will be 6:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month, starting in January. So our next meeting will be on Tuesday, January 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the Richland Area Community Center. But we'll surely see you all before then!

Richland is Hopping!
Have you noticed that the second Friday of the month has become a Richland Art Hop night? It's happening again from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, October 10, when the Blue Water Gallery hosts an opening reception for its new exhibit, Stolen Souls. The show, which runs through November 12, features metal work by Pam Nivala, paintings by Michael Dunn, and photography by T. C. Nihart. Music for the festive opening will be provided by DJ Chris Pappas. The Blue Water Gallery is at Clocktower Green, 8860 North 32nd Street, just north of the village of Richland.
And there's more . . .
Don't forget the last few sessions of the Richland Farmers' Market, every Wednesday from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at the Richland Area Community Center, 9400 East CD Avenue. The Market continues on October 15, 22, and 29, when it wraps for the season. The weather may be chillier, but there are plenty of apples, squash, gourds, mum plants, jam, honey, greens, beets, and more.
Speaking of the Community Center, RACC has a great ballroom dance session two Sunday afternoons a month, from 2 to 5 p.m. There's live music by the Swing Masters and lessons available before the dance. You don't need a partner--just come and dance! Admission is $7. Upcoming dates are October 19, November 2 and 16, and December 8 and 22. On Sunday, October 19, you can help to decide what kinds of dance lessons you'd like to see offered at RACC. Come from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a demo of different styles: line dancing, ballroom, Latin, and square dancing. Then cast your vote!
Finally, be sure to make a special note on your Halloween agenda to visit the annual safe trick-or-treat in the village park, sponsored by the Richland Area Business Association.

Even if you think you don't know Tom's work, you've seen his stunning ceramic vases, sculptures, and tableware in places of honor all over town--and beyond. Check the Oak Leaf Pottery website to jog your memory.

Fight cabin fever! We've got the cure.
Time to take off the fuzzy slippers and get OUT, everyone!
Start with a healthy dose of the blues. Jordan Lunardini is playing right down the street at the Stagecoach Barn at the Blackhawk Grill, M-89 and C Avenue, this Saturday, January 26, starting at 9 p.m.
Then head downtown to hear Combat Corduroy play Thursdays, February 7 and 14 at Rugger's Up and Under and Friday, February 8, at Harvey's on the Mall.
There are two exciting openings on Friday, February 8: First, it's the grand opening of the new Blue Water Gallery, 8860 N. 32nd Street, in the equally new Clocktower Green. Come between 5 and 9 p.m. and commune with artworks of all kinds--sculpture, jewelry, photography, ceramics, wood, fiber--by Kathy Kreager, Maryellen Hains, Gretchen Huggett, Michael Dunn, and many other great Michigan artists.
Also opening Friday, February 8, and continuing through Saturday, February 23, is Shakespeare in Hollywood at the Civic Theatre in downtown Kalamazoo. This fast-paced comedy, in which Oberon and Puck materialize on a Warner Brothers' 1934 film production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, is our chance to spot Mary Teutsch on stage again.
Wee folks in need of an outing should head for the Richland Community Library. Preschool story hour happens at 1 p.m. Tuesdays and 10:15 a.m. Fridays; toddlers love Wednesday Wigglers at 10:15 a.m. Wednesdays, of course.
And finally: Could this be the end of house concerts at Chicken House Concerts in Halifax, Nova Scotia? The concerts may go on, but Louise Hanavan's chickens must go, apparently. Check the CBC News for the latest!
