Saugatuck, Michigan
Art Coast performing arts hub in a former pie factory.
The cultural heartbeat of Michigan's Art Coast, housed in — wait for it — a former pie factory. What started in 2003 as a group of local visionaries reimagining an abandoned building has become one of West Michigan's most dynamic performing arts venues. The 430-seat theater (once the factory's freezer) hosts Equity-level Broadway productions each summer that visitors consistently describe as unexpectedly world-class — think Come From Away, Waitress, Million Dollar Quartet, and Legally Blonde, performed by casts that regularly blow audiences away with their talent. Beyond theater, the SCA programs year-round concerts from national touring acts, comedy shows, intimate lobby performances with pianists and opera singers in winter, film screenings, art exhibitions, a sculpture garden, and creative workshops for all ages (recent offerings include making paper from invasive weeds).

The rainbow flag has meant something specific since 1978 — one word per stripe, assigned by the man who dyed the first one. What every color means, why two stripes are gone, and all the other flags.

Drag is an art form, not an identity, and what people assume about it is off. Here's what a drag queen actually is, where drag came from, what the job pays, and how the illusion gets built.
