e've compiled a list of outdoor
art fairs and craft events
around Metro Detroit that
make their debut this month and run
through the first days of fall. Many include
artists selected by independent juries.
Surrounded by craft activities for children
and adults, performing artists and food
courts, art fairs are a fun-for-the-whole-
family adventure — with mostly free
admission. As the time gets closer to each
fair, make sure to check for changes in
particulars before heading out.

Constructed as a series of flashbacks narrated by
imprisoned diplomat Galimard, the play is an intricate
series of Chinese boxes of realities inside themselves,
and then turned inside out. Even as we follow the
narrative of the lovers' affair, it is being refracted through
both overt and disguised burlesque deconstructions of
Madame Butterfly.
And finally, despite indisputable evidence that turns
this into a steamy, season-ending confrontation, we
leave willing to talk all summer long about how and
why this could ever have happened.
