What A Do Theatre is wrapping up construction at their new location just in time for their first production of the season.

Actors will hit the stage at What A Do Theatre’s new location for the first time this Thanksgiving weekend on a stage that wasn’t there a month ago.

What A Do Theatre moved into their new location at 4071 W. Dickman Road the last week of October, turning a vacant, 8,000 sq. ft. office building owned by HBC Contracting into a black box theater and office space.

The interesting local connection to rock & roll legend.

There were many times in the life of Charlie Westover that he wanted to run away. 

As a kid, Charlie upheld the responsibilities of the older brother to two young sisters.  Growing up in Coopersville, Michigan could be difficult for a young boy when every mother in the neighborhood made sure Charlie’s mom knew of every infraction.  Mrs. Emmons caught him swearing in her backyard once and made the obligatory phone call.  It made Charlie just want to run away.  Many times he ran away to trouble and away from his classes.  Under his name in the yearbook, it reads, “Mischief and I are pals.”

Are you interested in playing guitar? Or bass? Whether you are 6 or 60 you may want to look into the Freeburn School of Music.

The genesis of the story is sparked by something that a Korean friend of mine said to me.
