What's up in Lansing: Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and more

Good day on this hot and sunny Thursday.

In its latest production, Over the Ledge Theatre Co. takes a humorous look at the script that changed the lives of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. Co-written by “The Office” and “The Mindy Project” star Mindy Kaling and writer/actress Brenda Withers, “Matt and Ben” is a comedic fantasy that reimagines the writing sessions that led to the duo’s breakout film, “Good Will Hunting.” The play, which riffs on the actors’ popular stereotypes, features women playing the roles of Damon and Affleck. 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday. $10/$8 seniors/$6 students. Over the Ledge Theatre Co., 137 Fitzgerald Park Drive, Grand Ledge. (517) 318-0579, overtheledge.org.

The Historical Society of Greater Lansing explores one of Lansing’s greatest collections of historic homes in its latest walking tour. Winding along the Grand River between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Waverly Road, Moores River Drive features grand estates built by some of Lansing’s most prominent businessmen. “Many of the early homes were heavily influenced by English architecture,” said Valerie Marvin, walking tour guide and vice president of the Historical Society. “These American titans of lumber and industry built themselves homes that resembled English country manors — an interesting juxtaposition of old and new.” Thursday’s walking tour will include several significant houses, including one built in 1916 for the brother of R.E. Olds. 7 p.m. FREE. Tour meets at the entrance to the Lansing Country Club, 2200 Moores River Drive, Lansing. (517) 282-0671, lansinghistory.org.
