Arts & Life Editor

Take a peek inside five spectacular homes in Huntington Woods, where the meandering streets were
inspired by those of Huntingdon, England — courtesy of the 26th-annual Huntington Woods Home
Tour. Stately Tudors from the 1920s beautifully co-exist with modern confections, like this design by
Ben Heller, president of Heller & Associates Design + Build in Pontiac and Carrie Long, owner of
Carrie Long Interiors in Royal Oak. The home is outfitted with a kosher kitchen, which requires the
separation of meat from dairy. “We were able to configure the space to allow for two separate sinks,
dishwashers, storage cabinets and prep areas,” Heller says. “We kept it flexible enough to handle the
weekday requirements, but still able to prepare a Thanksgiving-style meal on a weekly basis to observe
the Sabbath.” 1-5 p.m. $20 in advance; $25 day of the event. Hwwl.org.

SENIOR MEN’S CLUB
10-11:30 am, June 4-25. Socialize

Room 205, West Bloomfield. Info:
Sandy, 248-910-7505 or Ely, 248-
592-0690.

THROUGH JUNE 24: Burt & Me

High-school sweethearts Joe and Lacey have drifted apart, but years later,
Joe wants to win her back. So he sets out, armed with a clever plan, a bit
of luck — and the songs of Burt Bacharach. Burt & Me features nearly 20
Bacharach songs written with writing partner Hal David, including “Wishin’
& Hopin,’” “Close To You” and “I Say a Little Prayer.” “I think people may be
surprised at just how many Burt Bacharach songs they know,” says Travis
Walter, Meadow Brook Theatre artistic director. Meadow Brook Theatre at
Oakland University, Rochester. $26-$43. (248) 377-3300; mbtheatre.com.

MEMORY CLUB

JUNE 10: Paul Simon

Thirteen studio albums, five more as half of Simon & Garfunkel, 16 Grammy
Awards, 100 million records sold in a career spanning six decades — Paul
Simon has earned the right to retire. But the musical genius is giving fans
one more chance to see him live with Homeward Bound — The Farewell
Tour. “It feels a little unsettling, a touch exhilarating and something of a
relief,” Simon wrote, adding, “I think about music constantly.” $35-$175.
