So what do you have for us?
- Well, Motor City Comic-Con is coming to Detroit to the Suburban Collection Showplace starting tomorrow, and it runs through the 12th.
You can see some of your favorite actors buy from some incredible artists and crafters.
There's even an escape room.
- Ooh, I like escape rooms.
That's really cool.
Well, did you know there's a new exhibition coming up at the Cranbrook Art Museum?
It's entitled "Skilled Labor: Black Realism in Detroit".
And it's co-curated by artist Mario Moore.
It features 20 contemporary artists who all have ties to Detroit.
It focuses on exploring the representation of the Black body in both personal and cultural context.
- Now tomorrow the Michigan Philharmonic is presenting "La Mer" at St. Kenneth Church in Plymouth.
The music celebrates the sounds of the sea and will feature two local university choirs.
- Well, if you're ready to get into the holiday spirit, you can check out my favorite Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
The Musical" at the Fox Theater through November 12th.
- And for those who want a little comedy in their life, "Mrs. Doubtfire, The Musical" is at the Fisher Theater November 14th through the 26th.
Definitely a show with humor for the whole family.
- Well, there's so many other events for everyone to partake in.
I hope you check them out.
Have a wonderful weekend.
(soft upbeat music) - [Narrator] That'll do it for this week's "One Detroit".
