Tony Award-winning
musical to play in
Caledonia this month
James Gemmell
Contributing Writer
A Gentleman’s Guide to
Love and Murder won the
2014 Tony Award for Best
New Musical, and now it is
about to take the stage in
Caledonia this month.
The Caledonia Community
Players will host the PG-rated,
2-hour, 20-minute theater pro-
duction June 17 and 18, and
June 24 and 25 at the Duncan
Lake Middle School
Performing Arts Center, 9757
Duncan Lake Ave. SE. All the
shows start at 7 p.m. and the
cost is $20 for reserved seat-
ing. There is a 15-minute
intermission.
Tickets may be purchased
online at vancoevents.com/
BFFG or via a link on the cale-
doniacommunityplayers.org
website. You also can scan a
QR code on the Caledonia
Community Players Facebook
page or buy tickets in person at
the Caledonia Community
Resource Center in the middle
school.
The show’s director, Jim
Collver, noted the musical
originally was scheduled for
production in 2020, but the
COVID-19 pandemic kept
pushing it back, resulting in a
two-year delay. He said no
COVID-related restrictions
will be in place on stage or for
the audience.
Collver serves as the
Caledonia Community
Players’ artistic director and
plays eight different roles in
the stage show. He began
working with CCP just before
the pandemic began.
“We were set to do auditions
in 2020. When I came back
from vacation, everything had
shut down,” Collver said. “We
bumped it to the fall (of 2020),
thinking COVID would pass
quickly. And now, this is our
third attempt and we’re actual-
ly making it happen this time.”
See next Saturday’s Sun
and News for a feature about
the CCP production.
Tyler Suttner and
Rebecca Jantzen rehearse
a scene in the show.

Middleville TOPS 546
The May 28 meeting
opened with roll call and
the secretary’s report. Four
fish jumped into the fish-
bowl, and two fish jumped
out.
Chris continued the
discussion on “16 ways
to Motivate Yourself to
Lose Weight.” The final
tips included forgiving
oneself and not aiming
for perfection; learning
to love and appreciate
one’s body; finding
enjoyable exercises;
seeking out a role model;
getting a dog; and getting
professional help, when
needed.
Chris won the Ha-Ha
box.
The meeting ended with
the Rededication pledge.
TOPS, a weight-loss
support group, meets every
Saturday at Lincoln
Meadows in Middleville.
