Behind the Curtain: Sophie Gomez embodies growth and grace in The Nutcracker

From a member of the tiny mouse army mouse to a confident soloist, Sophie Gomez has come a long way in her Nutcracker journey. A senior at Brighton High School and member of the Varsity Tennis Team, Sophie will take on two very different roles in Brighton School of Ballet’s 40th anniversary production of The Nutcracker. In Act 1, she’ll bring the Ballerina Doll to life before trading her doll costume for heavenly attire as the Archangel in Act 2.

Farmington theater leans on upgrades, alcohol and the internet for resurgence

FARMINGTON — It's a cold and drizzly evening in early November, and Lucy Savoy is outside the Farmington Civic Theater. On the evening of Nov. 5, Savoy and her teammates on Clarkston High School's ski team made the trek to Farmington to watch ski documentarian Warren Miller's 2026 feature, "Days Off." The ski team crowded down the sidewalk with other moviegoers as they made their way into the theater lobby, which quickly filled up. "This is like a whole experience," said Savoy, 18. "They have booths and stuff, and it’s amazing. We’re really excited to go see the movie.” "Days Off" is just one of the special screenings at the Civic Theater that'll play this month at the quaint theater on Grand River Avenue in downtown Farmington. More than 25 years after the city of Farmington purchased the 1939 building to better control how it would be used, theater and city leaders are pushing to sustain it. The theater got an alcohol license earlier this year and recently installed new leather rockers from the Romeo Theater, another small-town theater that shut down earlier this year amid changing movie-goer habits. Officials have also discussed installing a pizza oven at the theater.

U-M-Los Alamos data center site 'highly archeologically sensitive'

The controversial Ypsilanti Township site chosen by the University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Laboratory for a $1.25 billion data center project is "highly archeologically sensitive," a major past trail route for Native American tribes that may include both artifacts and graves, the State Historic Preservation Office has informed project officials. Both Ypsilanti Township and the United Tribes of Michigan, a coalition of the 12 federally recognized tribes in the state, have passed resolutions calling on U-M to undertake a comprehensive archaeological review of the 144-acre site on Textile Road near Bridge Road, and to better consult with the tribes before disturbing sites of potential significance to their heritage. "It's disgraceful that they have not reached out and consulted the Native American tribes, given the historic nature of their relationship at U-M with the Huron River and knowing full well that the Bentley Library is filled with information and maps on the indigenous Native American trails throughout Washtenaw County," said Ypsilanti Township Attorney Doug Winters. U-M proposes a "high-performance research computing center" at the site in partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory, a New Mexico-based research institution focused on national security — including the manufacture of plutonium pits, the

Guest Commentary: MSU should reject 'the Putin violinist'

Michigan State University's College of Music will host a virtual masterclass with controversial Kremlin connected violinist, Vadim Repin on Nov. 11. Students should question why MSU is hosting the so-called "Putin violinist." The Kremlin portrays artists like Vadim Repin as a way of presenting the positive side of Russian culture to cover up their invasion of Ukraine. This soft weapon technique is aimed at removing crippling economic sanctions and forgiveness of 227,000 war crimes . Repin portrays himself as apolitical but he reeks of Kremlin influence. His sanctioned wife Svetlana Zakharova is with the ruling United Russia party. She previously endorsed Russia's invasion of Crimea along with 500 other artists. Then in April 2025, Repin participated in a concert broadcasted to Crimea , perceived as a validation of Russia's illegal occupation of the peninsula. In April 2022, Repin was awarded "People's Artist of Russia" by Putin. His arts festival has received funding from Putin's cultural initiatives fund and he recently applied for a $1.2 million dollar grant. Critics allege this fund supports Russian nationalism and aggression. Repin's acceptance of Russian state financial incentives and awards obligates his silence about Russia's war. Any doubts that Repin is a Kremlin propagandist were
