Driving Miss Daisy - Sidekick Theater

Set in mid-century Atlanta, the play, Driving Miss Dai-

sy, tells the story of an elderly Jewish matron, Daisy

Werthan, and her chauffeur, Hoke Coleburn. At first,

Daisy is none to happy about being forced to rely on a

black man to get from one place to the next. Gradual-

ly, however, Hoke wins her over, and during the 25-year span of the play,

the two develop a deep-rooted affection.

This Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece is a delicate depiction of simmer-

ing racial tensions, the inevitable passage of time, and the universal expe-

rience of aging. Playwright Alfred Uhry creates two outsiders who come to

a mutual respect, each one grounded in their staunch independence, un-

bending strength, and stubborn integrity. In 1988, Driving Miss Daisy won

the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Best Off-Broadway Play. The play was

then produced as a Hollywood movie starring Jessica Tandy, Morgan Free-

man and Dan Akroyd. In 1990, the movie version won 4 Academy Awards

including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Screenplay and Best Makeup.

Don’t miss this LIVE performance of a timeless masterpiece with Mary Kay

Fortier as Daisy, Eric Wood as Hoke, and Dann Peterson as Boolie!

Enjoy the performance in the elegant theatre of Ives Auditorium in Bloom-

ington. A delicious meal of Baked chicken breast with herb cream sauce,

seasonal vegetables, rolls, parsley potatoes, dessert and coffee/tea will be

served prior to the performance. Price includes transportation, lunch and

matinee. Registration closes on February 7 or when full.

From Ava to Eternity - Sidekick Theater

We know the voice,but we never bothered getting to know the man. In

order to do that, we have to start at the beginning… In this full-length dra-

matic musical, Francis Albert Sinatra is just another kid from Hoboken

who wants to make it big and become a star. Watch as he finds out just

how rough a path lies ahead of him... Experience his professional rise and

fall from grace, his tempestuous romance with Ava Gardner, and his tri-

umphant Oscar-winning career turnaround in 'From Here to Eternity' in

this brand-new production from the creator of the acclaimed jukebox mu-

sical, 'Unsung'. Accompanied by the sounds of an on-stage orchestra, and

featuring hits including "I've Got the World On A String", "All of Me" and

"New York, New York", this story will illuminate the complex psyche behind

the piercing blue eyes and unforgettable voice of Frank Sinatra.

ington. A delicious meal of Baked chicken breast with herb cream sauce,

Guys and Dolls—Old Log Theatre Frank Loesser's celebrated musical comedy about rolling the dice and

falling in love under the bright lights of Broadway is considered by many to

be the perfect musical comedy. Set in a mythical New York City, Guys and

Dolls tells the tale of one Nathan Detroit—a guy who needs a venue for his

“permanently established floating craps game.” Nathan’s best venue falls

through and he needs money to underwrite an alternative option. He turns

to Sky Masterson, a high roller who will bet on anything if the stakes are

high enough. Desperate for a sure thing, Nathan bets Sky he can’t get

date with Sarah Brown, the earnest proprietor of the Save-a-Soul mission.

Things don’t go as planned, and along the way you are treated to some of

the most memorable Broadway tunes, including Luck be a Lady, Sit Down

You’re Rockin’ the Boat, Sue Me, A Bushel and a Peck.

Seared Pork Chop, Dill Roasted Tilapia Fish or Vegetarian Pasta. Meal

Long-Term Care Insurance - Does it make sense? Recent legislative changes now allow the implementation of new long-term

care insurance products that remove the major complaints that many have

had about traditional policies: high annual premiums at the start with the

likelihood of even higher annual premiums in the future due to rate in-

creases. But does this new product really make more financial sense than

the older (and still-available) traditional policies? This advanced class is

for those who may have ever wondered about buying long-term care insur-

ance OR for those who already have it. This class shows how to accurately

compare the cost-effectiveness of different policies from different compa-

nies. Learn what options should be avoided, where the "gotchas" are often

hidden in the fine print, and what is the "best" age to buy. Understand the

pros and cons of group plans available from many employers. This class

provides the analytical tools for you to design the “right” policy if you de-

cide to buy a policy – and the tools to decide if you should keep your exist-

ing policy. Instructor: Gerard Goulet, 507-269-9036.

United Way Poverty Simulation (Ages 15 and up) The Poverty Simulation is an impactful and interactive experience in which

participants begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical

low-income family trying to survive from month to month. It is a simulation,

not a game. The Poverty Simulation brings awareness of the realities our

neighbors in poverty face every day and ideally serves as a catalyst for

ongoing dialogue and ultimately real local social change. Each participant

takes on a role of a person living in poverty. The goal is to make ends

meet, feed your family and maintain housing for one month. Enter RWHS

through door # 40.
