• October 17: Movies at Detroit Mercy with trunk-or-treat on Oct. 19

  Thursday October 17, 2024
  

  

  Detroit Mercy is offering an evening of Halloween treats and a drive-in movie for our Detroit neighborhoods, particularly those around our McNichols Campus, on Saturday, Oct. 19.

  The main event begins at 7:15 p.m. with a drive-in movie showing Inside Out 2 on a 40-foot outdoor movie screen with the capability of sound playing from your car radio. Before the movie begins, kids can wear their Halloween costumes and have fun at a trunk-or-treat from 4:30 to 6 p.m. If you are coming to the movie only, please arrive by 6:30 p.m.

  Food trucks will also be available to all guests as well as a mini golf course offered by Midnight Golf and Detroit Mercy architecture students. On display will be a few original pieces of outdoor furniture designed and built by our architecture students as well as an exhibition of their architecture projects and artwork.

  Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± hopes this will become a new tradition for our neighbors and University community to come together and have some fun at Halloween.

• October 17: Detroit Mercy Theatre Company presents ‘WITCH,’ Oct. 25-27 and Nov. 1-3

  Thursday October 17, 2024
  

  Detroit Mercy Theatre Company‘s first production of the school year is WITCH, performed across two weekends, Oct. 25-27 and Nov. 1-3 at the Marlene Boll Theatre in downtown Detroit. Shows on Fridays and Saturdays are at 7:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. Sundays.

  Prepare to be spellbound by this sharp and subversive fable, where the boundaries between good and evil blur. In the quaint village of Edmonton, a mysterious figure with devilish charm appears offering to fulfill the deepest desires of its inhabitants. Elizabeth, a woman ostracized by the village and labeled a “witch,” should prove an easy target, but what unfolds is a captivating dance igniting unexpected passions and forging unlikely alliances.

  In this modern twist on a class Jacobean drama, witness the transformation of a community grappling with the value of their souls in times of adversity. The show by Jen Silverman is being directed by Krista Schafer.
