Stepper's Ball and other Detroit weekend options that aren't the Super Bowl
This snowy weekend in metro Detroit will bring frigid temps but fun arts opportunities to the region. Here are six options to check out. Friday, Feb. 7, The Detroit Institute of Arts will host a Stepper's Ball in its Rivera Court. Founded in April 2008 by Jeff Clark, I Love Steppin' is an open community of dancers passionate about Chicago-style Steppin'. Members gather in cities nationwide to celebrate and raise awareness of this cherished tradition within Black communities. This event welcomes dancers of all ages and includes a brief introductory lesson on Steppin' basics from 6-7 p.m., followed by 90 minutes of dancing to music curated by DJ Rod Edwards. Detroit Institute of Arts, 5200 Woodward Ave., Detroit. Free with general admission; general admission is free for residents of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. Murder and blackmail are on the menu when six mysterious guests assemble at Boddy Manor for a night they'll never forget! Was it Mrs. Peacock in the study with the knife? Or was it Colonel Mustard in the library with the wrench? Based on the fan-favorite 1985 Paramount Pictures movie and inspired by the classic Hasbro board game, 'Clue – Live on Stage!' runs through Sunday, Feb. 9, at Detroit's Fisher Theatre. The original film celebrates its 40th anniversary this year and remains the ultimate whodunit that will leave you dying of laughter and keep you guessing until the final twist. Fisher Theatre, 3011 W. Grand Blvd., Detroit. Tickets start at $55. Saturday, Feb. 8, downtown Birmingham's Baldwin Public Library will offer an after-hours techno music dance party from 7 p.m. – midnight. Highlighting seven Detroit-based DJs and electronic musicians, this first-time event takes place in the Library's new modern glass Atrium, creating a vibrant collision of art, music, and architecture. Entertaining for the evening will be DJ Introspektor; Detroit, I-R; NK Ultra; Petty Cash; Augustus Williams, Movement performer and producer; Nuntheless; and Duck Trash. Baldwin Public Library, 300 W. Merrill St., Birmingham. Tickets $10; advance online registration requested, attendees must be aged 21 or over.

Wayne State University's College of Fine, Performing, and Communication Arts will present the exhibitions 'Edge of Visibility' and 'Origins' at the Elaine L. Jacob Gallery from Feb. 7 through April 26. An opening reception will be held on Friday from 5-8 p.m. 'Edge of Visibility will be featured on the lower level with works by Alia Ali, Hasan Elahi, Sahar Khoury, and Jordan Nassar. 'Origins' will be featured on the upper level of the gallery and highlight works from Wayne State University's permanent collection that reflect the art and material culture of Detroit from the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Elaine L. Jacob Gallery, 480 W. Hancock St., on Wayne State University campus. Free to attend. Also on Wayne State's campus, through Sunday, the Department of Theatre and Dance presents Molière's 'Tartuffe,' a 1664 stage comedy that satirizes religious hypocrisy. The central character, Tartuffe, is a deceitful imposter who hoodwinks the wealthy Orgon with false piety. Despite Tartuffe's obvious fraudulence, Orgon remains blind to his faults. Orgon's family, particularly his wife Elmire, attempts to expose Tartuffe's true nature through comedic schemes. The play delves into themes of hypocrisy, gullibility, and the perils of blind faith. Gleefully skewering topics that remain front and center today, 'Tartuffe' promises laughs for all audiences. Hilberry Gateway, 4715 Cass Ave., Detroit. General admission tickets $27. Ontario's famed Stratford Festival's widely acclaimed 2023 production of Alice Childress' 'Wedding Band' will be made available starting Friday on the festival's streaming platform, Stratfest@Home. The play is an emotional and revealing portrayal of interracial love, set in South Carolina in the shadow of the First World War and the 1918 flu epidemic. It tells the story of Julia, a Black seamstress, and her white partner, Herman, a baker. Directed by Sam White, the production was hailed on stage, with The New York Times calling it a 'revelation', a sentiment echoed in the Toronto Star, which described it as 'fresh and revelatory.' Monthly subscription $7.99.
