26 Essential Stops on Your Michigan Road Trip | Eater

"Kalamazoo has a vibrant theater and arts scene, including the New Vic, Farmer’s Alley Theatre, Queer Theatre Kalamazoo, and Face Off Theatre Company, in addition to Western Michigan University’s theater department and Miller Auditorium, plus the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra.
