Event Details

Letters from Livingston — the event formerly known as Mommologues — is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, June 20, at the Howell Opera House at 123 E. Grand River Ave. in downtown Howell.

While the event’s new name represents a broadening of cast members and subject matter, it remains true to its core to entertain while raising money for LACASA’s programs for victims of child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault.

This year marks the fifth performance of the show produced by writers Mona Shand and Maria Stuart, both of whom will read pieces. It also features some of Livingston County’s beloved writers and storytellers, including Amir Baghdadchi, host of Michigan Radio’s Moth StorySlam; Daryl Bean, creative entrepreneur and comedian; Renee Chodkowski, aka, The Great Foodini, Livingston County’s Patron Saint of Foodies; Rebecca Foster, former Pinckney Village president and current trustee; and Jon King of WHMI and author of “Ishkadoodle: A Boy, His Vacuum & Their Outerspace Adventure.”

The pieces for the evening run the gamut, from serious and touching to sidesplittingly funny, so come prepared. There will also be a cash bar available.

Tickets for “The Mommologues: Tales from the Front” are $22 in advance and can be purchased at www.lacasacenter.org. If available, tickets will be $25 at the door.

Event Details

Back by popular demand, the Howell Opera House is pleased to announce the return of hometown comedic legend Heywood Banks!

Heywood Banks is simply one-of-a-kind, almost impossible to describe, with a style his very own. Equal
parts genius and buffoon, this songwriter-comic-singer-poet-musician has become a cult hero and a pop icon, with a show that appeals to college students, stoners, businessmen, yuppies, rednecks, punks, kids, and/or your grandmother. He intersperses his humorous observations of life with twisted, inventive, bizarre
songs, sung and played in a variety of styles – from folk, to country, to rock, to pop, and way beyond. You have to be pretty smart to get Heywood at his deepest level (he demands a high level of pop culture literacy), but you can
also enjoy him just for his vocal style impersonations, expert musicianship and just plain silliness.

Doors will open at 6:45 pm; performance begins at 7:30 pm. There will be a cash bar with light concessions
available for purchase.

General admission is $25 and can be purchased in advance by calling the Howell Opera House office at 517-540-0065 or online at www.howelloperahouse.com. If any spots remain, they will be sold
at the door on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Event Details

2019 Michigan Notable Book author, Lisa Ludwinski, will be at the Brighton District Library Monday, June 17, from 7-8pm, to talk about her book and Detroit bakery, Sister Pie. Books will be available for
purchase, and pie will be available to try! Registration begins Monday, June 3.

Lisa grew up in Milford, Michigan and studied Theatre Arts at Kalamazoo College before
moving away to Brooklyn, NY to pursue a career in film. Six years and one cooking show later, in 2012, she moved back to Michigan to launch Sister Pie out of her parent’s Milford kitchen.

By 2015 they were able to move the shop to Detroit. On April 24, 2015, Sister Pie opened to a line out the door and a dozen new employees, and they’ve been hustling ever since. Since opening, they’ve been nationally recognized and featured in Bon Appétit, the New York Times, Eater, and Bloomberg News. Over 38,000 people follow their hijinks on Instagram every day. Lisa currently lives with her dog in the West Village of Detroit.

Join us for an evening of great stories and pie! This program has generously been sponsored by the
Library of Michigan and the Friends of the Brighton District Library. The Brighton District Library is located at 100 Library Drive, Brighton, MI.
