Free Veterans Day Concert At Lofte Theatre
15841 Manley Rd
PO Box 62
Manley, NE 68403
The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley will be hosting the 43rd Army Band, the only musical unit of the Nebraska National Guard on Sunday, November 11th at 2pm. The event is free and open to the public.
The 43rd Army Band is comprised of over forty citizen-soldier musicians from southeast Nebraska. Many are music teachers or have civilian professions in the music field. The 43rd Army Band performs concert tours throughout our state and for the Nebraska Army National Guard units during their annual training exercises.
November 11, 2012 marks the 94th anniversary of the end of World War I. At the time it was known as "The Great War." In 1919, President Wilson proclaimed November 11th as the first commemoration of "Armistice Day." In 1938, Congress made it a legal holiday, and in 1954 legislation was passed to rename the holiday as "Veterans Day," to honor American Veterans of all wars. The holiday is recognized on the Monday closest to the November 11th date.
The Lofte Community Theatre invites everyone to come enjoy this free event honoring those who have served our country. There are no reserved seats for this event. Doors will open at 1:30pm.

"Whose Wives Are They Anyway?"
Find Out at the Lofte!
Take two company vice presidents and put them on a nice leisurely golf weekend. Sprinkle in their wives who are out of town on a shopping excursion. Combine with a new boss who insists on meeting the spouses. Add a heaping handful of misunderstanding, desperation and top off with a man in a dress. The result is the hilarious show, "Whose Wives Are They Anyway?" opening at the Lofte Community Theatre in Manley on Saturday, October 20.
Written by the champion of American farce, Michael Parker and Directed by and starring Lofte Artistic Director, Kevin Colbert, "Whose Wives," is a PG-13 story of two men desperately trying to impress their new female boss. Starring as the hapless "friend to the end" is Lincoln radio personality and Lofte veteran, Mick Kovar. Playing the intimidating new boss is Melinda Mead of Plattsmouth. Rounding out the cast is Brenna Jean Thompson of Lincoln, Shari Hoelker of Omaha, Roland Kelley of rural Otoe, Toni Santee of Plattsmouth and Rev. Dr. Renae Koehler of Firth.
The play runs October 20, 21, 26-28 and November 1-4. Tickets are $17 each. Curtain times are 7:30pm Thursday through Saturday. All Sunday performances are 2pm matinees. Reservations for tickets can be made by calling the Lofte box office at 402.234.2553.
