Luckily for you the fine people of Ferndale had the ingenuity to plan a benefit on a Tuesday night -- when there's not much else going on, meaning we're more likely to notice it. Another thing the Lowdown likes: They dumbed down the event name so that we don't get confused. (drum roll) The monthly event at the Ferndale Rep is called Music, Movies and Pie. Here's how it works:
Ferndale Repertory Theatre
/ 6:30 p.m.
/ $15
Monthly series of films, tunes and heavenly pie. The evening starts with live Americana music by Ferndale Music Company's Paul Beatie and ends with a screening of O Brother, Where Art Thou? Somewhere in there they serve pie. Benefits the Grace Foundation.
