Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThree Michigan Architects: Part 2–Metcalf is the second in a series of three consecutive exhibitions\, with subsequent presentation of domestic work by George Brigham (July 19–October 12\, 2014). Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200018@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140415T160440 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140511T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140511T140000 SUMMARY:Other:Engaging with Art DESCRIPTION:UMMA docents will guide visitors through the galleries on tours as diverse as their interests and areas of expertise.

During his decade-plus tenure with Old Crow Medicine Show\, Willie’s driving rhythm guitar\, transcendent lead vocals and pure tenor were an essential part of the band’s success (over 600\,000 records sold not to mention the platinum selling single “Wagon Wheel”)\, but nowhere in OCMS’s catalog does his instrumental artistry and vocal prowess shine through as in his new solo incarnation. Reaching back for inspiration to such artists as Utah Phillips\, Leadbelly\, and even the 1930s folk-country crossover artist Bascom Lamar Lunsford\, Willie reinterprets and gives new life to a vast catalog of traditional songs that fit seamlessly beside self-penned classics cut from the very same cloth\, creating a rich new patchwork of Americana. Willie's new album is produced by David Rawlings\, who has worked with both Gillian Welch and OCMS.\n UID:16698-1199304@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16698 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,the ark,willie watson LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

The \"Reproductive Roots\" series shines a bright light on the many voices from the abortion care and reproductive justice movements\, using vividly designed social media graphics and notecards to inspire conversations from a breadth of perspectives. \n\nHeather Ault is a visual artist\, pro-choice activist\, and independent scholar creating artwork to shift conversations about reproductive rights and justice. She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThree Michigan Architects: Part 2–Metcalf is the second in a series of three consecutive exhibitions\, with subsequent presentation of domestic work by George Brigham (July 19–October 12\, 2014). Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200019@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140512T000009 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140512T173000 SUMMARY:Performance:Specialist Recital: Jeffrey S.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

In December 2012 the conference was hosted by its founders in Vienna\, Austria. In 2014 the conference travels to North America\, hosted by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n\nContinuing with the previous theme of collaboration\, the conference seeks to bring together artists\, designers\, fabricators and industry leaders for the purpose of advancing the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication. Following on the success of ROB|ARCH 2012\, the conference will again present a series of workshops held at the University of Michigan\, Carnegie Mellon University\, and Princeton University\, aimed at exposing the advanced capabilities of applied robotic research. Following the workshops\, the conference will span two days at the University of Michigan Campus in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, about an hour outside of Detroit\, the origin of robotics in North America. The internationally renowned publishing house Springer Wien/New York will publish and market the proceedings of the conference worldwide.\n\n\nIndustrial robots are the ultimate flexible manufacturing tools. Designers are taking this to heart\; contemporary research and production via robotic fabrication borrows from more mature manufacturing industries in order to accelerate the translation from “design to production”. Whereas task-specific machine tools support the efficiencies of mass-production\, robotic workcells can be reconfigured\, allowing a generic machine to perform a wide range of tasks. What robots may lack in extreme precision\, they rapidly recover in “intelligence””¦.cooperative\, closed-loop production cells now learn and adjust their technique in real-time. At the other end of the scale\, robots are emerging as in-situ construction tools\, achieving the dexterity to perform an active role in direct\, on site fabrication challenges.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

In December 2012 the conference was hosted by its founders in Vienna\, Austria. In 2014 the conference travels to North America\, hosted by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n\nContinuing with the previous theme of collaboration\, the conference seeks to bring together artists\, designers\, fabricators and industry leaders for the purpose of advancing the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication. Following on the success of ROB|ARCH 2012\, the conference will again present a series of workshops held at the University of Michigan\, Carnegie Mellon University\, and Princeton University\, aimed at exposing the advanced capabilities of applied robotic research. Following the workshops\, the conference will span two days at the University of Michigan Campus in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, about an hour outside of Detroit\, the origin of robotics in North America. The internationally renowned publishing house Springer Wien/New York will publish and market the proceedings of the conference worldwide.\n\n\nIndustrial robots are the ultimate flexible manufacturing tools. Designers are taking this to heart\; contemporary research and production via robotic fabrication borrows from more mature manufacturing industries in order to accelerate the translation from “design to production”. Whereas task-specific machine tools support the efficiencies of mass-production\, robotic workcells can be reconfigured\, allowing a generic machine to perform a wide range of tasks. What robots may lack in extreme precision\, they rapidly recover in “intelligence””¦.cooperative\, closed-loop production cells now learn and adjust their technique in real-time. At the other end of the scale\, robots are emerging as in-situ construction tools\, achieving the dexterity to perform an active role in direct\, on site fabrication challenges.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

It then addresses defining variables\, attaching labels\, defining missing values\, and various ways to enter data into SPSS. Finally\, it covers a brief introduction to obtaining frequency distributions\, descriptive statistics\, and cross tabulations of variables.\nWithin-Case Transformations:\nThis portion introduces data management capabilities\, including recoding variables (manual and automatic)\, computing new variables using formulas\, and counting occurrences of values within subjects. Attention then turns to temporary transformations\, conditional processing of transformations\, and repetitive transformations. SPSS syntax is also introduced.\nData Management with Multiple Files:\nThis portion begins with a discussion of subsetting data files by drawing samples\, selecting groups and excluding groups from analysis. Then\, the two main methods of merging SPSS data files are covered: adding additional variables and adding additional cases. Next\, creating aggregated data sets and applying aggregated data to individuals is covered. Lastly\, importing and exporting data between SPSS and other statistical programs (Excel\, dBase\, SAS) is demonstrated.\nBasic Statistics and Graphics:\nThis portion covers basic exploratory procedures\, including obtaining percentiles\, frequencies\, descriptive statistics\, and cross tabulations. Basic comparative procedures including two-sample t-tests\, paired t-tests\, and one-way analysis of variance are also covered. Then\, simple bivariate correlation analysis is introduced. Participants are given a basic introduction to commonly used graphical procedures for displaying data\, including scatter plots\, bar graphs\, histograms\, and boxplots.

In December 2012 the conference was hosted by its founders in Vienna\, Austria. In 2014 the conference travels to North America\, hosted by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n\nContinuing with the previous theme of collaboration\, the conference seeks to bring together artists\, designers\, fabricators and industry leaders for the purpose of advancing the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication. Following on the success of ROB|ARCH 2012\, the conference will again present a series of workshops held at the University of Michigan\, Carnegie Mellon University\, and Princeton University\, aimed at exposing the advanced capabilities of applied robotic research. Following the workshops\, the conference will span two days at the University of Michigan Campus in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, about an hour outside of Detroit\, the origin of robotics in North America. The internationally renowned publishing house Springer Wien/New York will publish and market the proceedings of the conference worldwide.\n\n\nIndustrial robots are the ultimate flexible manufacturing tools. Designers are taking this to heart\; contemporary research and production via robotic fabrication borrows from more mature manufacturing industries in order to accelerate the translation from “design to production”. Whereas task-specific machine tools support the efficiencies of mass-production\, robotic workcells can be reconfigured\, allowing a generic machine to perform a wide range of tasks. What robots may lack in extreme precision\, they rapidly recover in “intelligence””¦.cooperative\, closed-loop production cells now learn and adjust their technique in real-time. At the other end of the scale\, robots are emerging as in-situ construction tools\, achieving the dexterity to perform an active role in direct\, on site fabrication challenges.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

She uses vibrant graphics\, affirmative language\, and historical accounts to transform ugly discord into visual narratives that are beautiful and empowering.\n\nThe exhibition is presented by the Institute for Research on Women and Gender and the Women's Studies Department. It is cosponsored by the Program for Sexual Rights and Reproductive Justice\, the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design. \n\n UID:15605-1195314@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/15605 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:reproductive health,reproductive justice,visual arts,women,women's health LOCATION:Lane Hall - Lane Hall Gallery CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140317T141259 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140516T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20140516T170000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Blue World/Green World: Fiber Art DESCRIPTION:Member artists of the Fiber Artists Coalition employ a variety of innovative materials and techniques in the creation of fiber art.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

In December 2012 the conference was hosted by its founders in Vienna\, Austria. In 2014 the conference travels to North America\, hosted by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n\nContinuing with the previous theme of collaboration\, the conference seeks to bring together artists\, designers\, fabricators and industry leaders for the purpose of advancing the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication. Following on the success of ROB|ARCH 2012\, the conference will again present a series of workshops held at the University of Michigan\, Carnegie Mellon University\, and Princeton University\, aimed at exposing the advanced capabilities of applied robotic research. Following the workshops\, the conference will span two days at the University of Michigan Campus in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, about an hour outside of Detroit\, the origin of robotics in North America. The internationally renowned publishing house Springer Wien/New York will publish and market the proceedings of the conference worldwide.\n\n\nIndustrial robots are the ultimate flexible manufacturing tools. Designers are taking this to heart\; contemporary research and production via robotic fabrication borrows from more mature manufacturing industries in order to accelerate the translation from “design to production”. Whereas task-specific machine tools support the efficiencies of mass-production\, robotic workcells can be reconfigured\, allowing a generic machine to perform a wide range of tasks. What robots may lack in extreme precision\, they rapidly recover in “intelligence””¦.cooperative\, closed-loop production cells now learn and adjust their technique in real-time. At the other end of the scale\, robots are emerging as in-situ construction tools\, achieving the dexterity to perform an active role in direct\, on site fabrication challenges.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200023@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140228T094358 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140516T190000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Wizard of Oz (Friday Performance) DESCRIPTION: UID:16747-1199352@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16747 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:the wizard of oz,theater,young peoples theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140512T152025 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140517T000000 SUMMARY:Other:Gifts of Art 2014-2015 Call for Entries Deadline Extended to May 31\, 2014 DESCRIPTION:Gifts of Art is currently accepting proposals for our Aug 2014-Aug 2015 exhibit year!

In December 2012 the conference was hosted by its founders in Vienna\, Austria. In 2014 the conference travels to North America\, hosted by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n\nContinuing with the previous theme of collaboration\, the conference seeks to bring together artists\, designers\, fabricators and industry leaders for the purpose of advancing the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication. Following on the success of ROB|ARCH 2012\, the conference will again present a series of workshops held at the University of Michigan\, Carnegie Mellon University\, and Princeton University\, aimed at exposing the advanced capabilities of applied robotic research. Following the workshops\, the conference will span two days at the University of Michigan Campus in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, about an hour outside of Detroit\, the origin of robotics in North America. The internationally renowned publishing house Springer Wien/New York will publish and market the proceedings of the conference worldwide.\n\n\nIndustrial robots are the ultimate flexible manufacturing tools. Designers are taking this to heart\; contemporary research and production via robotic fabrication borrows from more mature manufacturing industries in order to accelerate the translation from “design to production”. Whereas task-specific machine tools support the efficiencies of mass-production\, robotic workcells can be reconfigured\, allowing a generic machine to perform a wide range of tasks. What robots may lack in extreme precision\, they rapidly recover in “intelligence””¦.cooperative\, closed-loop production cells now learn and adjust their technique in real-time. At the other end of the scale\, robots are emerging as in-situ construction tools\, achieving the dexterity to perform an active role in direct\, on site fabrication challenges.

Born in 1923\, Metcalf is a native of Ohio. He began his education at the University of Michigan in 1941 but his studies were halted during World War II. After serving in Europe\, Metcalf returned to Ann Arbor and finished his degree in 1950. Upon graduation\, he worked as an apprentice to George B. Brigham and began teaching Architecture at the University of Michigan. Metcalf began his own practice in 1953 and completed over 120 projects Ann Arbor and the Detroit Metro area. \nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses. Each project selected exemplifies Metcalf’s mid-century modern architectural vocabulary that results in functional\, minimalist spaces for living.\n\nThis exhibition presents 13 domestic projects that span his six-decade-long career from 1953-2008\, highlighting his straightforward design aesthetic\, featuring many of his iconic flat-roofed houses.

Part 1 of the series presented the work of David Osler (December 21\, 2013–March 30\, 2013). The series will culminate in Fall 2014 with a symposium\, as well as the publication of Three Michigan Architects: Osler\, Metcalf\, and Brigham–both of which will explore the importance of this circle of Ann Arbor-based architects\, situating their regional body of domestic work into the larger context of modern architecture in the U.S. that developed on the East Coast and West Coast from the 1930s–1980s.\n UID:16957-1200024@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16957 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:exhibit,umma LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140228T095807 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140517T130000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Wizard of Oz (Saturday Matinee) DESCRIPTION: UID:16748-1199353@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16748 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:the wizard of oz,theater,young peoples theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20140228T100658 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20140517T190000 SUMMARY:Performance:The Wizard of Oz (Saturday Evening) DESCRIPTION: UID:16749-1199354@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/16749 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:the wizard of oz,theater,young peoples theater LOCATION:Power Center for the Performing Arts CONTACT: END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
