Join us Friday, September 26 for "Hot Glass on Tap", a fun and funky fundraiser party for Glass Art Kalamazoo!

Each ticket includes a hand-blown tumbler glass, free pour tickets for specially selected wines and local craft beers, a signature cocktail, catered snack bar, and an exciting glass blowing show with fire stunts.

Expect a festive atmosphere with exciting visuals, groovy music, gorgeous art, and delicious food & drink! It's Hot Glass on Tap at Glass Art Kalamazoo!

*Ages 21 and up only* *Dress is casual* This is a demonstration-based event, and not a class. Ticket-holders will not be making blown glass objects during the event.

All proceeds from Hot Glass on Tap support programming at Glass Art Kalamazoo, a community-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to enrich the community by providing exceptional experiences in glass art. Glass Art Kalamazoo works directly with schools, nonprofit groups, businesses, and individuals to educate the community in the glass arts, and offers classes in glass blowing, torch working, and kiln fusing.

In the quiet glow of a moonlit junkyard, a community of cats gathers for one extraordinary night. They dance, they sing, they tell their stories — each one hoping to be chosen for a new life.

Western Michigan University’s production of CATS brings this beloved musical into the intimate Williams Theatre, placing the audience right in the heart of the Jellicle Ball. With characters that range from rebellious to wise, mysterious to magical, this is a show about identity, memory, and connection — told through music that leaps off the stage and choreography that fills every corner of the space.

What if, just for an evening, you could step into a café where people simply lived together — enjoying coffee, ice cream, love, and laughter — without the barriers that so often divide us? That’s the gentle power of Utopia, a play by Charles L. Mee. As a mother and daughter watch lives unfolding around them, we hear tender confessions, playful debates, and dreams shared across tables. Different perspectives collide and comfort, inviting us to imagine a world where everyone belongs and small joys are truly enough. Warm, thoughtful, and quietly profound, Utopia reminds us how good life might feel — and how it still could be.
