Joining Whitmer will be TC’s Chasten Buttigieg, a teacher, advocate, and husband of former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg. His memoir I Have Something to Tell You was a New York Times bestseller. Tickets: $17.50-$35; proceeds benefit Traverse Bay Children's Advocacy Center. cityoperahouse.org
