Banner image with picture of a ball on wooden floor. Sunshine casting over the floor. Text on graphic about the event.

Is truth stranger than fiction? It is certainly as strange--as anyone living in Macomb can tell you. One has only to open the local paper or simply get up in the morning to know that every day in the 61455 zip code is filled with continual astonishments. Don't believe it. To experience the unimaginable, the unforeseen, and the unusual, the beautiful and dangerous things that swarm just below the daily surface, come to Malpass 180 at noon on Friday, May 1st. You will hear a number of short, nonfiction pieces by students. Only the future knows what they’ll reveal,and it’s all lawyered-up and not talking.
