If dinner and a movie is more your thing, you might consider dinner and a live show at Genitti's Little Theatre (108 E. Main St., 248-349-0522). And when the kids tire of the Wii, they're sure to be charmed by one of the productions staged at the Marquis Theater (135 E. Main St., 248-349- 8110), or they may discover a hidden talent during one of its theatrical camps and workshops held through- out the summer. ENTERTAINMENT/ HANGOUT The words "bland" or "boring" are not part of the vernacular in Novi or Northville. From the people-watching while shopping to the free concerts in the heart of Northville, there's no short- age of options once the stores close. Check out Hollywood's latest block- busters lighting up the screens at the Novi Town Center 8 (26085 Novi Town Center Dr., 248-334-0014) and Emagine Theater (44425 W. 12 Mile Rd., 248-319-0171), or echo the laughs nearby at Detroit's comedy theater extraordinaire, The Second City (42705 Grand River, 248-348-4448) at Andiamo. Lazy summer nights can be spent lounging at the Band Shell (www. downtownnorthville.com) in downtown Northville for free outdoor concerts. There's even a dedicated musical series, Tunes on Tuesday, for the young ones. EVENTS From a seasonal Farmer's Market to art shows and home tours, the city of Northville (www.downtownnorthville. corn) and its chamber of commerce (www.northville.org) fill the calendar with an outstanding array of special events and programs. Likewise, the city of Novi (www.ci.novi.mi.us ) and its chamber of commerce (www.novi- chamber.com) promise year-round, eclectic programming. 111
