This week end the Angola Mainstage Players are producing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat! I attended the production last night, and found it a steller production.

This show was made popular as Donny Osmond took to the stage in Chicago bringing theatre back to life in that wonderful city.

It is a difficult high school play with all the music and singing, but the Angola Players brought it life beautifully.

Starring as Joseph was Angola senion, Justin Talkington. This was his last production as he will be heading off to Wright University in the fall, and we will all miss him. It is also the last play produced by director, John Curtis. He has served Angola well bringing such shows as Les Miz, Phantom of the Opera, Jekl and Hyde, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Fiddler on the Roof.

Farewell, John, good luck in the next phase of your life.

There is one more show this afternoon at 2:00, so go to the performance if you haven't been there yet! You might even want to make a nice donation to the company to keep them going.

Please enjoy a few photos from the event!

Making our donation to the Historical Society

Each year the Spoken Word production company makes a donation to a local group. This year we chose The Steuben County Historical Society to be the recipient.

We had a wonderful turn out for our show and after expenses were paid, and money set back as seed money for next year's show, we were able to present a check for $750.00 to Peg Dilbone to take back to her organization.

Peg and I met at Coachlight for the check presenting and to chat about Angola history. We sat over coffee and tea for a couple of hours talking about all kinds of events in our town.

Thank you to everyone for your support of our show. We are already planning for next year!

Faces of Angola

On Saturday evening, Trine Univeristy hosted the 41st annual International Night. It was an exploding event of booths, foods, demonstrations and performances. The event was held in the new Student Life building and under the flags of the world, students, faculty and community gathered to share in these events. I, for one, loved the enchiladas and the dessert from Saipan! All tickets were just one dollar and it was something like a carnival! It was a great evening to visit with friends and neighbors while sharing in our global community.

The culminating event was the Dance of the Lion, an ancient Chinese ritual dance which brings good luck. It was beautiful and fascinating and colorful as well.

The faces above are just a few from the evening. Be sure to watch for advertising for next year's International Night!
