As an avid runner, I run at least a race a month throughout the year. The Crim tops them all. The…read moreorganization of the 10 mile race is spectacular. Ample (free) parking close to the start line, visible mileage markers with clocks, drink stations on both sides of the street nearly every half mile, waved start for fast and slow runners (and walkers) and medals awarded to all participants at the end. The residents of all the neighborhoods ventured through came out to watch. Some held signs, passed out donuts and pancakes and samples of beer. Many bands, D.J.'s and lonely drummers on their porch played tunes to entertain the runners. The after party included a rockin' band, a free slice of pizza and beer for all runners. Additional pizza slices were $1 and beers were $3. If you are a walker or runner, you must give the Crim a try! You will not be disappointed.

I don't actually run, I just sit in the beer tent and listen to the bands.read more

The UM-Flint theatre department stages professionally-produced productions all year, from dance…read morerecitals to plays and musicals. I've seen many productions mounted on the UM-Flint stage over the years, like Equus, Noises Off, Little Shop of Horrors, and the Ash Girl, just to name a few. I've never been disappointed. The tiny "black box" theatre at the rear of the regular theatre is also a unique spot for one-act performances, experimental performance art and for theatre students to conduct classes and dramatic readings. The acoustics, lighting and sound are always high quality and seats are comfortable as well. Ticket prices are cheap (often as low as $5 for theatrical productions, a little higher for dance performances) and alumni receive comped/reduced tickets for performances throughout the year thanks to UM's Alumni Association. Open to the general public.

As a non-profit, they hold several benefits, the most well known probably being their popular Seeing Stars Benefit each winter. We get students from here that perform often in various productions at Flint Youth Theatre and Whiting Auditorium. Very quality performances. It shows in their level of professionalism. These kids are amazing. They are literally stars in the making. It's always a thrill to see them onstage. Many of them are regulars every season in the Whiting's production of The Nutcracker. They always look like they are having a blast, too. The FSPA's contributions to the cultural center and the Whiting's productions have been immeasurable. You can't put a value on it. A good thing, indeed, for this town.
