Todd Reed is a ’71 graduate of the Michigan State University School of Journalism.
Mr. Stink does just that—he stinks! He’s a tramp and just as he and his stinky dog, Duchess, are about to be driven out of town they find refuge in the most unlikely place—the garden shed of a girl named Chloe. Faced with the daunting task of keeping her house guest—who turns out to be not quite what he seems—secret from the colorful cast of townsfolk, Chloe also has to cope with an overbearing mum who is more interested in her own political ambitions than her daughter.

Red Metal: The Copper Country Strike Of 1913 Tue., Dec. 17, 8 pm
This documentary examines the epic labor strike that devastated Michigan’s Copper Country in 1913, which haunts the American labor movement to this day. Among the notable elements of that strike was the death of 73 children at a union Christmas party, a tragedy immortalized by Woody Guthrie in his ballad “1913 Massacre,” performed in the film by Steve Earle.

Sat., Dec. 28, 9 pm

Todd Reed is a ’71 graduate of the Michigan State University School of Journalism.
Mr. Stink does just that—he stinks! He’s a tramp and just as he and his stinky dog, Duchess, are about to be driven out of town they find refuge in the most unlikely place—the garden shed of a girl named Chloe. Faced with the daunting task of keeping her house guest—who turns out to be not quite what he seems—secret from the colorful cast of townsfolk, Chloe also has to cope with an overbearing mum who is more interested in her own political ambitions than her daughter.

Red Metal: The Copper Country Strike Of 1913 Tue., Dec. 17, 8 pm
This documentary examines the epic labor strike that devastated Michigan’s Copper Country in 1913, which haunts the American labor movement to this day. Among the notable elements of that strike was the death of 73 children at a union Christmas party, a tragedy immortalized by Woody Guthrie in his ballad “1913 Massacre,” performed in the film by Steve Earle.

Sat., Dec. 28, 9 pm

Todd Reed is a ’71 graduate of the Michigan State University School of Journalism.
Mr. Stink does just that—he stinks! He’s a tramp and just as he and his stinky dog, Duchess, are about to be driven out of town they find refuge in the most unlikely place—the garden shed of a girl named Chloe. Faced with the daunting task of keeping her house guest—who turns out to be not quite what he seems—secret from the colorful cast of townsfolk, Chloe also has to cope with an overbearing mum who is more interested in her own political ambitions than her daughter.

Red Metal: The Copper Country Strike Of 1913 Tue., Dec. 17, 8 pm
This documentary examines the epic labor strike that devastated Michigan’s Copper Country in 1913, which haunts the American labor movement to this day. Among the notable elements of that strike was the death of 73 children at a union Christmas party, a tragedy immortalized by Woody Guthrie in his ballad “1913 Massacre,” performed in the film by Steve Earle.

Todd Reed is a ’71 graduate of the Michigan State University School of Journalism.
Mr. Stink does just that—he stinks! He’s a tramp and just as he and his stinky dog, Duchess, are about to be driven out of town they find refuge in the most unlikely place—the garden shed of a girl named Chloe. Faced with the daunting task of keeping her house guest—who turns out to be not quite what he seems—secret from the colorful cast of townsfolk, Chloe also has to cope with an overbearing mum who is more interested in her own political ambitions than her daughter.

Red Metal: The Copper Country Strike Of 1913 Tue., Dec. 17, 8 pm
This documentary examines the epic labor strike that devastated Michigan’s Copper Country in 1913, which haunts the American labor movement to this day. Among the notable elements of that strike was the death of 73 children at a union Christmas party, a tragedy immortalized by Woody Guthrie in his ballad “1913 Massacre,” performed in the film by Steve Earle.

Red Metal: The Copper Country Strike Of 1913 Tue., Dec. 17, 8 pm
This documentary examines the epic labor strike that devastated Michigan’s Copper Country in 1913, which haunts the American labor movement to this day. Among the notable elements of that strike was the death of 73 children at a union Christmas party, a tragedy immortalized by Woody Guthrie in his ballad “1913 Massacre,” performed in the film by Steve Earle.
