If you are thinking about heading to Dearborn City Hall Park today for the free Jazz on the Ave concert, which begins at 7 p.m., you should first plan to stop at Green Brain Comics, located just down the street from City Hall.

From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. today (Aug. 25) you will have the chance to meet Ted Raimi – who has starred in numerous television and film projects (probably best known for his performances in all three blockbuster Spiderman films directed by his brother, Sam Raimi) – and preview the new web series “Playing Dead.” Also on hand will be Detroit visual artist SLAW. The Playing Dead web series is a dark comedy, written by and starring Suzanne Keilly, about a down on her luck actress that takes a part time job as Death to pay the bills.

Raimi’s appearance at Green Brain Comics, 13210 Michigan Ave., precedes a screening and benefit on Aug. 28 at the Detroit Film Theatre of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Hosted by WDET 101.9 FM’s Ann Delisi, the live performance event includes creative independent rock performances from Detroit artists Troy Gregory and Lightening Love, a question and answer session with Raimi and Keilly, and features the work of Detroit visual artist SLAW. All proceeds from the Aug. 28 event benefit the Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit.
