PARC - Plymouth Arts & Recreation Complex

Join Ovation Performing Arts for Shrek The Musical JR.,&nbsp;based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film and fantastic Broadway musical.&nbsp; It's a "big bright beautiful world" as everyone's favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits on an adventure to rescue a princess and find true acceptance.&nbsp; Part romance and part twisted fairy tale,&nbsp;Shrek JR.&nbsp;is an irreverently fun show with a powerful message for the whole family.
Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek.&nbsp; One day, Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairytale misfits who have been cast off by Lord Farquaad, a tiny terror with big ambitions. When Shrek sets off with a wisecracking donkey to confront Farquaad, he's handed a task — if he rescues feisty princess Fiona, his swamp will be righted. Shrek tries to win Fiona’s love and vanquish Lord Farquaad, but a fairytale wouldn't be complete without a few twists and turns along the way.&nbsp;

Brighton Center for the Performing Arts

Have you ever met a talking dog, a real talking dog? Get ready, because&nbsp; you are going to meet the funniest comedian on 4 legs!

"Irving", with a little help from his friend Todd Oliver, is going to talk up a storm.&nbsp;

If you ever wondered how a dog looks at life, this little home-raised companion is going to give it to you straight from the dog's mouth. He won't mince words, and if he does, it's Todds' fault anyways (he's a ventriloquist).

PET SUPPLIES DRIVE
Doors to the lobby open at 6:00pm. Please bring a donation of new and unopened pet supplies for Livingston County Animal Shelter (suggestions: unopened dog / cat food and treats, new toys, leashes, collars, harnesses, cat litter, small animal bedding).

BIO
Todd Oliver grew up loving dogs, ventriloquism, music and magic. As a young boy he studied piano, guitar, voice, and the variety arts. Along the way, he created some wooden-headed characters and performed around the world. You'll also meet a bunny named Alice and 3 beautiful birds.&nbsp;

Todd Oliver and Friends have been a feature on Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Today Show, a couple episodes of Walker Texas Ranger, and in 2012 they were a top 4 finalist on America's Got Talent.

A major draw for many years on Showboats in Branson MO, and Nashville TN, as well as other major entertainment venues, Todd is now touring, bringing his brand of clean family fun to towns across America.

Todd promotes pet adoption, spay and neuter, and encourages young people to turn their talents into lifelong skills. In towns across America, Todd visits schools, inspiring young people with these timely and important messages.

The goal is making families laugh together with original, clean, contemporary comedy and fun, so sit back and get ready! You might even be on stage yourself – Todd turns audience members into real live Ventriloquist dummies! Either way, you're going to have a doggone, rocking good time with "Todd Oliver and Irving the Talking Dog”.

Novi Public Library

On Sunday, May 3rd, join us for&nbsp;Thrive at Midlife: Body, Mind, and Desire During Menopause at the Novi Public Library. The panel brings together an obesity medicine physician, a mindfulness teacher, a certified sex therapist, and physician specializing in menopause. Together we cover the four things that are most affecting women in their 40s and 50s — and most underserved in a standard 15-minute appointment.
What makes this worth attending: there’s nothing like it in the area. These are real clinicians, not influencers. The conversations we have on stage are the ones women are Googling at midnight because they can’t get real answers from their doctors. We’re changing that, at least for one afternoon.
