What do you have for us?
- Well, one of Detroit Public TV's friends, Alexander Zonjic, will be performing at the Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe through Saturday.
He's one of the most entertaining flutists I've seen.
- He certainly is a treasure, Peter.
And, do you know what tomorrow is?
- Yeah, it's Friday.
- Peter, not just any Friday, it's Friday the 13th in October, which is spooky.
To celebrate the date, Michigan Science Center is holding a 21 plus after Dark Friday the 13th event.
Featuring a Stranger Things laser show, alchemically inspired elixirs, captivating music, and so much more.
You can also spend your Friday the 13th at the Detroit Zoo for a night of Spooky Spirits.
Again, for those who are over 21, you can put on fun Halloween costumes.
Check out a screening of Friday the 13th the movie in the 4D theater.
Enjoy a favorite spirited beverage, good food, or walk on the Haunted Trail.
- [Peter] On the 14th and 15th, it's the Detroit Art Book Fair, where dozens of independent publishers, artists, writers, and collectors will present their books, prints, and more to the public.
- [Dave] And if you want to head a little less, get to the Purple Rose Theater in Chelsea, where Diva Royale is running through December 23rd.
The show is written and directed by Jeff Daniels, and the comedy has all of its original cast returning.
