WSH Presents "Little Shop of Horrors"

Based on the 1960 film by Roger Corman and featuring a book by Howard Ashman, music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Ashman, Little Shop follows meek plant store attendant Seymour, his co-worker crush Audrey, her sadistic dentist of a boyfriend and the man-eating plant that threatens them and the world as we know it.

All welcome to a fun dance!

7:30pm-10:30pm: Dances

Live music by Dag Nabbit and dances called by Pat Reeser.

No partner or experience necessary.

$10-$20/person suggested donation.

Snacks to share are always welcome!

Six women gather for a much-needed girls' night out. The plan is to eat, drink and create works of art at a local paint and sip night while celebrating a bride to be. But as the alcohol flows, so do their thoughts on motherhood and womanhood, and their carefully curated lives get hilariously and heartbreakingly real.

On the Ides of March, you are invited to roam the Village at Grand Traverse Commons for a free Shakespeare festival where food, drink, and live performance intertwine. In partnership with The World’s a Stage, Mashup Rock ‘n Roll Musical, and our local breweries, wineries, and Village businesses, this Sunday afternoon experience is a chance to eat, drink, and witness bite-sized interpretations of Shakespeare performed in unexpected spaces.

The day unfolds as a journey: you'll move from venue to venue, encountering scenes, songs, and soliloquies. Between performances, linger over local wine and beer, enjoy Sunday fare, and soak in the historic atmosphere of the Village, where Shakespeare’s themes of love, fate, folly, and betrayal will come alive.

Mental Health First Aid training is designed to increase knowledge and build skills to help someone who is experiencing mental health problems. The training includes information about signs and symptoms of mental health problems and provides opportunities to practice response skills for specific types of problems. Participants are trained to provide informed, caring support and to suggest and connect people to community resources.

This March, explore a fascinating piece of local history with a new exhibit from Traverse Area District Library’s Local History Collection. Featuring original documents from Traverse City State Hospital psychiatrist Dr. Paul H. Wilcox, the display examines mid-20th-century psychiatric research and his work with electroshock therapy.

“Traverse City Psychiatrist Makes History: The “Shocking” Career of Dr. Paul H. Wilcox,” will be on view throughout March 2026 on the first floor of the Traverse Area District Library Main, in the exhibit cases leading into the Sight & Sound Department.

For more information please contact the Local History Collection at lhc@tadl.org or visit www.tadl.org, Local History. An article accompanying the exhibit is available on our website at https://www.tadl.org/posts/traverse-city-psychiatrist-makes-history-shocking-career-dr-paul-h-wilcox
