What's up in Lansing: "A Fisherman's Wife," Smith Floral Open House, and more

Good day on this cloudy Wednesday.

Lansing plays host to Jeff Daniels’ Purple Rose Theatre Wednesday for a special one-night production.

The Chelsea-based group is borrowing a stage from Riverwalk Theatre for a staged reading of "A Fisherman's Wife." The play explores one man's relationship with his beloved wife and his wish for a reality different from the one he faces.

The reading is the first public performance of the work, which was penned by veteran playwright Timothy Mason, perhaps best known for his musical adaption of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." An audience talkback session will follow the show.

7 p.m. FREE. Riverwalk Theatre, 228 Museum Drive, Lansing. (734) 433-7782, purplerosetheatre.org.

Smith Floral and Greenhouses celebrates the holidays with their 65th annual open house today, presenting an opportunity to pick up poinsettias, centerpieces and other holiday greens. Another open house for kids, featuring special guest Santa clause, will be on Saturday.
