    Dreamgirls Bianca Tedford, Chaika Stribling and Sharondra Smith rehearse at Bower Theater on April 28 Audiences certainly can get their money's worth in non-stop entertainment this month as Flint Community Players and The New McCree Theatre combine to present the amazing Tom Eyen and Henry Krieger musical "Dreamgirls." It is three hours of unflagging energy and stunning musical expertise. Ostensibly the story of the rise of The Supremes during the turbulent 1960s and '70s, the story traces the steps to fame followed by three Chicago girls as they try to break into the music business in New York. It isn't just about the music though. The story also offers glimpses of the behind-the-scenes reality of the entertainment industry. This business side was illustrated best Friday in the show-stopping "Steppin' To The Bad Side." Directed and choreographed by Steven J.Mokofsky and co-produced by Charles H. Winfrey and Mokofsky, Collapse

    According to the Flint Journal's theatre critic in referring to The Frankie Lymon Story, "this one tops them all." She continues: "For baby boomers, this show is an exciting nostalgic return to the beginnings of rock n' roll. Wonderful tunes such as "Goody, Goody," "Why Do Fools Fall in Love," and "Little Bitty Pretty One" are just a smattering of the show's ballads and doo-wop music." Collapse

    Some the most explosive music was presented at the opening with new voices and songsters at The New McCree Theatre. Who would of thought that the city of Flint has the talent it keeps exuding time after time. Man oh-pete-oh what a wonderful cast. The stage is set so that ones imagination can take them through the time zone of music. And the band what a combination of players. They too set the mood of the most exciting time periods. My hat off to them all. Thanks McCree for bringing back the best of the african american artist that Flint has to offer. Keep up the good work. This space is providing such a positive arena for the community. Continue, continue, continue. It was extremely a pleasure to be filled with entertainment, history, connections to the music, and watching our town shine. Let me also give kudos to the tech people who assured us with a visually kinestetic connection to the actors. Thanks bunches and again keep up the good work. Collapse

    What a joy it was to hear Robyn Henry, a local teller, at the Flint Public Library tonight! Robyn shared insightful stories about a turtle, a frog as well as fresh strawberries. I am so happy the library offered some Native American programming. Robyn annouced that she and other Flint area storytellers will be performing again at the library for "Tellabrations" on the 22nd. I plan to be back for that. Collapse
