POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

If you have been to the Croswell recently, you may have noticed a stunning new mural on our building at the entrance to the Hickman Way alley. Scenic painter, Marty Tutt, designed and then hand-painted this gorgeous piece in celebration of our 160th year.

As it says, "Come one, come all"! This mural is meant to be a backdrop for a photo when you visit us at the theater. Sharing on your socials? Tag us because we'd love to see! 📸

Everyone, please join us in thanking Marty for this incredible nod to our remarkable history! If you see her at the Croswell be sure to give her a cheer and a high-five - we ❤ you Marty!

We may have closed our run of "Come From Away", but our cast is still cheering on other local groups opening their productions. This show reminds us of the power of compassion, kindness, and lifting up others, so let's keep that feeling alive! Break a leg, U of M! by @thecroswell

We are headed into a two-show Saturday here at the Croswell and we cannot wait to welcome you to "The Hunchback of Notre Dame".

Set in 15th-century Paris, prejudice, morality, and redemption come together in a story about the dark and light of humanity and what it means to be a hero. It's a reminder to us all that beauty lies within.

"The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is on stage through October 25th. Tickets are available on our website (link in bio) or by calling (517) 264-7469.
