Ridgedale Players to perform ‘Escanaba in Da Moonlight’
Just in time for hunting season, the Ridgedale Players are presenting their performances of “Escanaba in da Moonlight,” by Jeff Daniels.
It’s the story of Reuben Soady, the oldest member of his family to never bag a buck. Known around town as the “Buckless Yooper,” Reuben goes to any and all lengths to erase himself from the luckless pages of the family record book.
“This is a delightful, funny story about life in our own Upper Peninsula,” said director Emily Lane. “Please join us for a story about family traditions, deer hunting, flatulence and finding out who truly believes in you.”
The play runs 8 p.m. Fridays-Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays Sept. 15-Oct. 1. Adult tickets cost $20, and senior tickets cost $18. To order tickets, go to ridgedaleplayers.com.

Somerset to display costumes from famous films
The movies are coming to life at Somerset Collection as it presents its “Cinematic Couture” exhibit, displaying costumes from numerous cinematic classics.
More than 35 installations will be included, including costumes donned by Julie Andrews in “Victor Victoria,” Renee Zellweger in “Miss Potter” and Johnny Depp in “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Curated specially for Somerset Collection, “Cinematic Couture” pulls from more than 500 costumes in the archives of Academy Award-winning costume house, COSPROP and Hampshire Street Studio in London, England.
“Fashion in film often inspires design that is seen on the runway, and eventually these looks transition into what our guests see in our stores,” said Kate Millea, general manager of Somerset Collection. “We are thrilled to bring this one-of-a-kind fashion exhibit to Somerset Collection for our guests to enjoy.”
The display will be located in the mall’s North Grand Court and will run Sept. 1-Oct. 1.
