- [Presenter] If you're looking for something to do for Mother's Day, there are plenty of arts and culture events taking place this weekend in Metro Detroit.

Cecilia Sharpe and Peter Whorf, from 90.9 WRCJ, have Today's "One Detroit Weekend."

- Hey everyone, Cecilia and Peter here, ready to share some great events to make your weekend plans even better.

Peter, what's first?

- The Grosse Pointe Theatre is bringing "The Secret Garden," the musical, to life at Parcells Auditorium.

It's a heartwarming story about loss, healing, and rebirth, filled with beautiful music.

It runs through May 11th.

- [Cecilia] If you're in the mood for another powerful story, "Ragtime" opens at the Player's Guild of Dearborn.

This Broadway classic weaves together the lives of immigrants, African Americans, and the upper class in early 20th century America.

It runs May 9th through the 18th.

- [Peter] For music lovers, the Fox Theater hosts something for the ladies, a pre-Mother's Day R&B Jam, featuring Tyrese, Kelly Price, and Kiki Wyatt on May 9th.

It's a night packed with soulful hits and good vibes.

- [Cecilia] Now Peter, I'm always down for some good vibes.

And if you want to soak up some fresh air this weekend, the Backyard Art Fair in Ferndale on May 10th is perfect.

There will be local artists, handmade goods, music, and food trucks.

- [Peter] And don't miss "The Central Park Five" at the Detroit Opera House.

It's a moving contemporary opera, based on the real life story of five young men wrongfully convicted, and their fight for justice.

Performances are May 10th, 16th, and 18th.

- And there's always even more to experience around Detroit.

So around and see some more options.
