Muskegon Civic Theatre Presents "The Dining Room"
This play is set in the dining room of a typical well-to-do household, the room where families assembled for daily breakfast and dinner and all special occasions. The action is a series of interrelated scenes—some humorous, some poignant, some rueful—which, when taken together, create an in-depth portrait of a vanishing species, the upper-middle-class. Each vignette will introduce a new set of people and events, and the actors will play a variety of roles, personalities, and ages from little boys to stern grandfathers and giggling teenage girls to Irish housemaids. Performances are at the Beardsley Theater in the Frauenthal Center for Performing Arts, 425 W. Western Avenue in downtown Muskegon. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m. Sunday Matinee is at 3:00 p.m. For tickets, StarTickets (800) 585-3737 or www.startickets.com or the Frauenthal Box Office (231) 727-8001. www.muskegoncivictheatre.org

The Enduring Gifts of Martin A. Ryerson
As the MMA moves ever closer to its Centennial, special attention will be focused on great Museum advocates, sharing donated artworks and personal histories with the public that have shaped the past, present, and future of this institution and community. The year 1932 marked the 20th anniversary of the Hackley Art Gallery (now the MMA). In March of that year, director Frank Atwood Almy contacted Chicago art collector and Grand Rapids native, Martin A. Ryerson, Jr., whose family was prominent in the lumber era here, and encouraged him to donate a work of art to the Museum. As a result, Ryerson gifted six major European and American paintings to the MMA before he died in the fall of 1932, including works by French Impressionists including Alfred Sisley, Armand Guillaumin, and Paul Signac; representing “a field entirely untouched” in the collection, Almy noted. The Ryerson estate gifted eight additional pictures in 1938, providing an enduring and significant body of work. Museum admission is $5 (free admission on Thursday.) The Muskegon Museum of Art is located at 296 W. Webster in Downtown Muskegon. For more information call 231-720-2570. www.muskegonartmuseum.org
