West Michigan Symphony "Baroque and Beyond: A Mid-winter Treat"
The Frauenthal Theatre is transformed into an intimate candlelit space for a concert of music from and inspired by the Baroque Era. Bach’s Brandenburg concerto no. 3 is one of the Great Master’s most enduring works. Stravinsky based his sparkling and tuneful Pulcinella Suite on the music of Pergolesi. And Richard Strauss’ Suite from Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme is a tribute to the Baroque Jean-Baptiste Lully and the playwright Molière, full of fun, inside jokes, and great beauty. The concert is at 7:30 p.m. at the Frauenthal Center for the Performing Arts (corner of Third and Western in Downtown Muskegon). Tickets available at the www.westmichigansymphony.org, the Frauenthal Box Office Monday - Friday 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Startickets 800-585-3737. www.westmichigansymphony.org

Muskegon Civic Theatre Presents "The Piano Lesson"
Playwright August Wilson won his second Pulitzer Prize for this haunting drama set in 1936 Pittsburgh. When Boy Willie arrives in Pittsburgh from the South in his battered truck, he dreams of buying the same Mississippi land that his family had worked as slaves. To raise the money for the land, he plans to sell an old piano, which has been in the Charles family for generations. While Boy Willie and his sister both own the piano, the piano is in Berniece’s living room, and she has already rejected many offers because the antique piano is more than an heirloom; it is covered with carvings that detail the family’s rise from slavery. Boy Willie tries to persuade his sister that the past is past, but she is more formidable than he anticipated. 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

Overbrook Theater: The Pillowman
Martin McDonagh has been called “one of the theatrical luminaries of the 21st century”. The Pillowman centers on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. A blindingly bright black comedy that is thought-provoking and funny. Performance times are 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday and 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. The Overbrook Theater is located at Muskegon Community College, 221 S. Quarterline Road. For more information, 231-777-0324. www.muskegoncc.edu/pages/421.asp

We are the Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball
Original paintings by award winning artist and author Kadir Nelson, who spent seven years researching, writing, and creating the handsome paintings included in the brilliantly illustrated book, WE ARE THE SHIP:
The Story of Negro League Baseball. This exhibition is the story of Negro Leagues—the story of gifted athletes and determined owners; of racial discrimination and international sportsmanship; of fortunes won and lost; of triumphs and defeats on and off the field and is a perfect mirror for the social and political history of black America in the first half of the twentieth century. But most of all, the story of the Negro Leagues is about hundreds of unsung heroes who overcame segregation, hatred, terrible conditions, and low pay to do the one thing they loved more than anything else in the world: play ball. Underwritten by the Verizon Foundation. 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
