Let's start with the Tree Town Comedy Festival that runs through March 8th at Tree Town Comedy in Ann Arbor.
Over 30 comedians will share their acts throughout the week, so head on over to Ann Arbor for some shore laughter.
The Shamrock Tenors bring their first American tour to the Fox Theater March 8th, as they perform classic Irish songs like "Danny Boy," "Wild Rover," "The Parting Glass," and more with their five-part harmonies.
March 11th through the 23rd, Tony Award-winning best musical "Kimberly Akimbo" takes the stage at the Fisher Theatre.
The comedy follows the almost-16-year-old Kimberly who just moved to a new town with her family.
And the play "English" is having its run March 12th through April 6th at Tipping Point Theatre.
It's a heartfelt comedy based in an Iranian classroom for adult English learners that ask, will English only broaden or constrain their true expression?
As always, there's a lot more going on around the area, so stay tuned for a few more options.
Have a wonderful weekend.
