We stand with all against injustice and hatred. We stand with the Black Community and are outraged by racial injustice and systematic racism. We stand with a Community working together to evoke real change – a citizenry where everyone is welcome, safe, and protected. We commit to presenting diverse and inclusive content to the community through live performing arts. We’re Listening. #BlackLivesMatter

Update: In light of the most recent recommendations from the CDC and the executive orders of Governor Whitmer, The Whiting, Capitol Theatre, and Flint Institute of Music have extended the suspension of all events and performances through June 12th. With things constantly changing, we are still working on rescheduling any shows that have been postponed.

☀️ The answer to yesterday's post about how many "branches" are on the Golden Sun in the lobby is... 675 gold-plated stainless steel "branches." The Golden Sun was commissioned by Harry Bertoia in 1967. You can learn more at https://www.thewhiting.com/about-us/history.
