Linda Granger Starlight Theatre will NOT be presenting the musical mystery farce "Sherlock Holmes and the Great Royal Goose Chase!" on May 10, 11, 17 & 18 at Delta Presbyterian Church, 6100 W. Michigan Avenue, Lansing 48917. *NEXT SEASON: We do not know what will be happening with Starlight next season. We do not know when we will be allowed to return to Waverly East. I apologize for the confusion and show changes this past year. Once we realized we could not get back into the school, we had to substitute shows that were more suited to the staging area in the church. We are grateful for the support of First Presbyterian Church this past season. Linda Granger, Artistic Director Most of these shows are music, not theatre — BUT NOTE: Neil Simon’s Chekov play: The Good Doctor for ONLY TWO PERFORMANCES. May 3-4:

Darwin in Malibu
Play by Crispin Whittell Malibu, California. One hundred and twenty years after his death, Charles Darwin (‘the Devil’s Chaplain’) is hanging out at a beach house overlooking the Pacific with a girl young enough to be his daughter. His peace is rudely disrupted when his old friend Thomas Huxley (‘the Devil’s Disciple’) washes up on the beach, closely followed by the Bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce. These three find themselves entangled in an enthralling and thought-provoking comedy about God and science. “A hoot and a half…Wonderfully entertaining.” —Financial Times (London). “Fiercely intelligent…an exceptionally spry play with big ideas and a big heart. You should see it—not just because it’s there, but because we are here.” —Guardian (London) When: Saturday, May 4 @ 7PM Brand New You! A new musical revue about remaking ourselves Classic standards to contemporary Broadway music, Brand New You is a poignant journey of self-discovery and remaking ourselves. A cast of performers who light up the stage with characters in their quest for self-discovery, delight, entertain, and take you into fantasy. From Kiss Me Kate to Waitress, Can-Can to Parade, Jesus Christ Superstar to James and the Giant Peach and more, these songs will bring you full-force into the inner worlds of these characters. Guest artist, and Broadway Ensemble alum, Thomas Ruhala, returning from New York, will appear with the cast. Direction and choreography by Mark Ruhala, Musical Direction by Jeff English.
