"Almost, Maine" in Manley, Nebraska

The Lofte Community Theatre announces that it will open, "Almost, Maine" on Saturday, September 1. This show originally opened off-Broadway in the winter of 2005. The play was, and continues to be, wildly praised for its smart, funny take on life and love in a small mythical town in far northern Maine. On a cold, clear moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the sky above the town's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and sometimes hilarious ways. Almost everything is mended in this delightful midwinter night's dream.

Directed by Kevin Colbert, the large cast includes Mark Raffety, Benjiman Pettiford, and Kaitlin Scates of Omaha; Marikita Saure, Cory Misek, Shelia Hansen-Snell, Brenna Thompson, Samantha Colbert and Mat Pegler of Lincoln; Jennifer Harvey, Mark Santee and Melinda Mead of Plattsmouth; Megan Homan of Springfield; Danielle Black of Papillion and Josh Smith of Bellevue. Performance dates are September 1, 2, 7-9 and 13-16. Curtain times are 7:30pm on all days except Sundays which are 2pm matinees. Tickets are $17 and all seats are reserved.

The Lofte Community Theatre is located just east of the intersection of highways 1 and 50 near the town of Manley. Please visit their website, www.Lofte.com, or call their box office staff at (402)234-2553 to inquire about ticket availability.

Fiddling Contest

Greenblatt & Seay proudly announce the SIXTEENTH ANNUAL SCHOOLHOUSE FIDDLING BEE. This historical, hysterical event will take place on Sunday, October 14, at 2:30 PM, downstairs in the Old Avoca, Nebraska Schoolhouse. In the Open Division, fiddlers will play a hoedown, a waltz, and a tune of choice. There will also be other divisions of competition available for the adventurous fiddlers, including a Singing Fiddler's Contest, a Twin Fiddler's Contest, a Fee-Fi-Faux Fiddler's Contest (fiddle tunes played on any instrument other than a fiddle), and a Hocus-Pocus Contest (cross-tuning, sound effects, dancing, etc.), which will give fiddlers an opportunity to play tunes that are usually not allowed in any other contest. The prizes for the winners in the Open Division are $100 for 1st place, $50 for 2nd place, and $25 for 3rd place. Prizes will also be awarded for 1st place in the other contests.

Contestants can register on line (http://www.greenblattandseay.com/schoolhouse_fiddling_bee_preregistration.shtml).

Admission is $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for students, and $1.00 for children. Fiddlers and their back-ups are admitted for free. The contest will be followed by a light snack and an acoustic jam session.
