Mark your calendars for Friday, January 17, 2025, because Northville, Michigan, is about to host a night full of drama, laughter, and community spirit. The Flip the Script Gala, presented by In The Mitten Productions (ITMP), promises to be an evening to remember. Taking place at the historic Marquis Theatre, located at 135 E Main St, Northville, this event is not just a fundraiser—it’s a celebration of youth theater and creativity.
What’s Happening?
The doors open at 6:00 PM, giving attendees plenty of time to mingle, grab some appetizers, and check out the raffle baskets and ITMP merchandise. The show starts at 7:00 PM, featuring a unique performance titled Director's Nightmare. This playful production flips the script—literally—by putting ITMP directors on stage as actors. Yes, you read that right! The directors are trading their usual roles behind the scenes for a chance to showcase their acting chops (or lack thereof) in what promises to be a hilarious and heartwarming performance.
After the show, stick around for the Afterglow and Dancing session until 9:30 PM. It’s your chance to let loose on the dance floor and celebrate the arts with fellow supporters.
