“Striking 12”: Performance Network/EMU Theatre Department.

EMU theater professors R. MacKenzie Lewis and Ken Stevens direct a staged reading of Brendan Milburn, Rachel Sheinkin, and Valerie Vigoda’s pop musical, a modernization of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Match Girl.” It’s the story of a weary, lonely urbanite who finds a quirky, young woman at his door on New Year's Eve selling lights designed to assuage the seasonal affective disorder common this time of year.
9 p.m., Performance Network, 120 E. Huron. $50 (students, $35) includes post-performance hors d’oeuvres and champagne reception. 663-0696. [map]
