Three acting legends return to the stage where it all began. Frankie Hart, Eddie Ford, and Kay Byrd first lit up the historic Barton Playhouse three decades ago, and their journey has taken them from Topeka to the Poconos, dazzling audiences with everything from Shakespeare to side-splitting antics. Now, in Act Three of their lives, they’re back at the theatre that started it all, headlining the most successful residency in Barton Playhouse history with their hilarious act, “Frankie, Eddie, and Kay.” But amidst the laughter, cracks are beginning to show. Can they overcome the friction brewing behind the punchlines, or will their friendship implode? Dive into this uproarious and heartfelt exploration of aging, friendship, and the unexpected twists that come with returning home. Don’t miss the world premiere of Act Three at Tibbits—will their past bring them closer, or tear them apart once and for all?

Please join us the first Saturday of each month at 9 AM (barring special events or bad weather which will be announced on our Facebook page), for "Beginning Birding Walks," led by experienced birders from the Audubon Society of Kalamazoo. This event is free and open to the public. Meet at the second parking lot at Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery in Mattawan, just off SR 43. All skill levels are welcome.

We will enjoy nature while typically identifying 20-40 species of birds, plus butterflies, frogs, etc. Over 200 bird species have been sighted at Wolf Lake, which offers a variety of habitats and easy walking trails. Annual highlights include colorful songbirds like orioles, warblers, tanagers, hawks and eagles, kingfishers, Great Blue and Green Herons, and over 20 species of waterfowl. Eastern Bluebirds can be found year-round! Children accompanying adults are welcome. The focus is on birding fundamentals, and extra binoculars are always available. The walk typically takes about 2 hours (but feel free to arrive late or leave early).
