Independent's Day!
Here we are, another Fourth of July! And it's hotter than... how perfect! As we prepare for this coming holiday... a Great American one, here in Goshen... we wish all a Happy Fourth! We also want to remind everyone that it's not all that easy to be "independent"! To quote another great American (George Washington himself) facing the British in the summer of 1776, "the challenges are mounting daily, and the resources to wage the good fight remain scarce.” Some things never change!
These times are character builders, and boy, do we have a cast of characters! As we prepare a reshuffled company to present "Status Quo Vadis" from the12th to the 14th of July at the Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall in Goshen. The new cast includes local favorite Jennie Pines ("Irene"), a Goshen High School graduate...and as luck may have it, we may be doing our final three performances (July 19-21) on that stage where the lovely Miss Pines was first bitten by the theatre bug!
Joining her is first-timer, Ryan Paige ("Horace"), who brings a savvy edge to the character. But you definitely don't want to Miss Erika Bahr ("Joyce"), an NFA graduate, who lights up the stage with her own brand of fireworks! Nan Gill-Wilson and hubby David Patrick Wilson are set to play 'Mr. and Mrs. Elgin,' a real fun couple. Come out and enjoy the entire cast and crew, Constance Wehmeyer, B.D. Anthony, Sean O'Brien, Jennifer Kirk and Andrew Parsons (of "Collar” fame!) and more!
Tickets are just ten dollars ($10) and performances will be: Friday and Saturday at 8pm and Sunday at 2pm. For more information and reservations call: 845/294-8444 or go to www.actinganyone.com
Meanwhile, it's amazing how eighteen months can radically alter the landscape of justice in this country. It seems as though it gets harder and harder to get the truth out of the legal system. (Maybe that's why so many lawyers become politicians...just kidding!) When Trayvon Martin lost his life in February 2012, it seemed pretty clear that one man was responsible. As time drags on, though, the stories change. Such is life in the big, bad gated community! It all sounds a bit too familiar to us at Willy-Gilly; in fact, it's amazing how closely these issues mesh with the ones in "Collar". Oh, well...as they say, truth is stranger (and sadder) than fiction!
But, back to the Great American Weekend, Willy-Gilly will be there! We'll be working with Goshen Rotary, first at race day registration for the GAW 10K, then at the food concession (come by and grab a burger) and at the book fair for St. James Episcopal Church! It all happens this Saturday, July 6th! It'll be a hot weekend, in more ways than one!
