What's Coming Up  The Jungle Book KIDS - Workshop Performance This past week, a group of 30 students ages 7-12 have been hard at work in our summer theater workshop of The Jungle Book. They are having three 30-minute performances this weekend at The Alcove so please come out and support their hard work. Performance times: Saturday, Aug. 6, at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, at 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 7, at 2 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door:   Twelve Angry MenTickets are now on sale for MTVarts' fourth classics series production: Twelve Angry Men. Hosted by Centerburg High School in its beautiful state-of-the-art theatre, this is one performance you won't want to miss! For more information on this performance please check out our website. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door:  A tense, engaging courtroom thriller, “12 Angry Men” focuses on a seemingly open-and-shut trial of a young Puerto Rican accused of murdering his father with a knife. The 12-man jury retires to their microscopic, sweltering quarters to decide the verdict. When the votes are counted, 11 men rule guilty, while one doubts the obvious. Stressing the idea of "reasonable doubt," this juror slowly chips away at the jury—exposing the prejudices and preconceptions that directly influence the other jurors' snap judgments. Directed by Sydney Lumet, the 1957 film starring Henry Fonda featured the tagline “Life is in their hands, and death is on their minds. It explodes like 12 sticks of dynamite.”Audition Opportunities Orange Barrel Production Company is holding auditions for their upcoming performance of Charlotte's Web!

Once your account is created, login and choose “MTV Arts” as your community rewards organization. Then, just shop at your local Kroger store.  The second program is simply shopping at Amazon.com.

“Music has the power of producing a certain effect on the moral character of the soul, and if it has the power to do this, it is clear that the young must be directed to music and must be educated in it.” - Aristotle, "Politics" “You use a glass mirror to see your face; you use works of art to see your soul.” - George Bernard Shaw “To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only play, but also believe” - Anatole France

The next dinner theater at The Alcove is The Dixie Swim Club, directed by Bruce Jacklin. The Dixie Swim Club is the story of five unforgettable southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team. They set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh, and meddle in each other’s lives.
