Everyone enjoys a good play or concert, and our communities along Lake Michigan are blessed with talented actors and musicians that entertain us throughout the year. Center Stage Theater at West Shore Community College is the venue for many interesting plays and performances...plus they have their very own orchestra, jazz band and concert choir. The Manistee Civic Players present top notch performances at the Historic Ramsdell Theater, a majestic building in the heart of downtown Manistee. The Lakeside Civic Players use the Ludington Area Center for the Arts as their stage for musical concerts, plays, and dance performances.
