Tours:Saturday Sampler Tour | Connections in the Ancient Mediterranean
2024-08-10 14:00 - 15:00 | Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
We often study the ancient world as if each culture was completely separate—focusing on ancient Egypt, Cyprus, Rome, Mesopotamia, and Greece in isolation. In this tour, we’ll explore the connections between these Mediterranean cultures resulting from such factors as trade, migration, and conquest. We’ll look at artifacts found in places we might not expect, as well as evidence of the blending of cultures and traditions.

This event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167.

Performance:Gearheads
2024-08-10 19:00 | Mendelssohn
GEARHEADS is an original musical comedy, which follows the goings-on at an auto
repair shop on a Saturday, when the shop’s owner and service manager are away,
leaving the mechanics to run things. When a customer shows up needing a
simple repair, she can’t get anyone to help her, because the guys would rather be
anywhere else than at work. They turn their break room into a pseudo frat
house, and over the course of the day, love is lost and found, the youngest
mechanic has a coming-of-age experience, and the shop becomes a place where
everyone belongs.

The show was written by UM (and Michigan Marching Band) alumnus Dave
Nettleman (B.S.E., ’81; M.S.E., ’97), who wrote it in the style of musicals of the
1950’s and 60’s. The score has been professionally orchestrated, and a 20-piece
pit orchestra will accompany the cast of 18.

The Lydia Mendelssohn theater is hosting the world debut, which will take place
on Saturday, August 10 at 7pm. There are also shows at 2pm and 7pm on August
11. Please note, since there is some intense drama and spilling of blood, this
show is not recommended for young children.
