The Croswell Opera House

There are heroes throughout a show from start to finish. Performers, volunteers, crew members, staff, and musicians who step up and step in when the need arises.

This post is an appreciation post for one such hero - assistant stage manager, Hallie (pictured here).

What's that? You can't see her? Well, that's because Hallie performs show after show as the back half of Caroline the Cow. Not only is she in there, bringing up the rear, but she's doing it with grace while being unable to see and mildly suffocating in a sea of fur.

Hallie, we salute you and you're mooooving performance along with your dedication to "Gypsy".

Moo Moo Moo Moo, we ❤ you!

Newsboys, Farm Boys, and Broadway Gents...Dainty June and Louise always have some incredible showmen in their corner...

See them take their show on the road in "Gypsy" at the Croswell.

"Let me entertain you
Let me make you smile
Let me do a few tricks
Some old and then some new tricks
I'm very versatile"

"Have a Goldstone, Mr. Egg Roll
Tell me any little thing that I can do
Have some fried rice, Mr. Soy Sauce
Have a cookie, have a few!
What's the matter, Mr. G?
Have another pot of tea!
Mr. Goldstone, I love you!"

Warning: this song will absolutely get stuck in your head and is perfect for humming.

The Croswell is proud to announce our newest addition thanks to The Maurice and Dorothy Stubnitz Foundation. We recently received a grant from this incredible foundation to support the installation of automatic door openers on our exterior side doors as well as in our lobby restroom areas. Combined with the passenger drop-off availability (in support of our reverse valet efforts), these have been such meaningful steps forward in making the Croswell more welcoming and accessible.

As these initiatives come to life, we are reminded how grateful we are for our friends who inspire us every day to do better, think bigger, and continue removing barriers wherever we can. Thank you for your continued encouragement and thoughtfulness around these improvements. As our friend, Luke Durling, said "This implication of door openers would literally and figuratively open the doors of opportunity for independence and a renewed level of community it aspires to provide to everyone who seeks it."

"Herbie? Why does everyone walk out?"

"Maybe Louise won't."

Those two lines get us every time...

"Gypsy" is on stage through June 21 and we have a seat waiting for you at www.croswell.org or (517) 264-7469
