...And It's August
Oh, no! It’s already August, and summer is two-thirds over. It’s way too short a season for me, but I guess that makes me appreciate it all the more.
The best thing about August is it means it’s time for the musical Fiddler on the Roof at the Fosston Community Library Arts Center. Performances are scheduled for Thursday through Saturday, August 8-10, at 7 p.m. with a 3 p.m. Sunday matinee on August 11. Because all the originally scheduled performances have been sold out, an addition Saturday matinee has been scheduled for 1 p.m. If you don’t have your tickets yet, stop by Generations Clothing or call them at 435-1676. Hopefully they have some left; if not, you may need to look for a scalper.
Directed by Michelle Marx, this production involves more than 45 people, counting cast, company and crew. Actors range in age from five to 87. There will be a live band and wonderful music. Refreshment will be served at every performance, with extra special treats at the Sunday matinee.
I’m sure you are all familiar with the story or at least some of the music in Fiddler on the Roof. As many of you probably remember, Fiddler was the first production of the FCLAA, probably about 1981. You will definitely want to see this new production of it.
In other news, the summer reading program continues into August, so there is still time for children to win prizes as they “Dig into Reading.” Remember, the more they read, the more chances they have to win one of the special grand prizes.
There are still a couple more SRP special programs coming up. On Wednesday, August 14, Professor Marvel will be performing his amazing archaeological adventure magic show at 2 p.m. He will perform amazing magical tricks and also discuss the magic and wonder contained in books that can be revealed by digging into reading.
The final summer reading program will involve water rather than dirt so I guess everyone will be diving rather than digging. On Wednesday, August 21, at 2 p.m. there will be a pool party at the Fosston Civic Center Pool. Door prizes will be awarded. Contact Tammi at the library for more information.
I would also like to mention that the FCLAA has a Web site at www.fclaa.org
You should take a look.
