"Hansel & Gretel" Auditions at Lofte Theatre

Manley, NE [May 17, 2012] - For the sixth straight year, the Lofte Community Theatre will be partnering with Missoula Children's Theater for a children's production. This year's musical is, "Hansel & Gretel."

Auditions will be held at the theater on Monday, June 11 at 10am. Auditions are open to students entering first through seventh grade. Approximately sixty children will be cast. There is no guarantee that everyone who auditions will be cast in the play. The audition process will last approximately two hours. Some children will be asked to stay for the first rehearsal immediately after auditions.

Rehearsals will take place at the Lofte June 11 through June 16, 10am to 2:30pm. While not all actors will be needed for all sessions, they should have a clear schedule for the week. Actors should bring a sack lunch each day.

The Lofte will hold two public performances of "Hansel & Gretel," on Saturday, June 16th. The first is at 3pm, the second is at 6pm. The cast will be called for a dress rehearsal 2-4 hours before the first performance.

Adult admission is $8; children are $5.

Missoula Children's Theater is a non-profit organization based in Missoula, Montana. Their residency at the Lofte is generously sponsored in part by Plattsmouth State Bank and Home State Bank. Those with questions about auditions or tickets may call the Lofte box office at(402) 234-2553.

SARPY CASS_HEALTH_WELLNESS

Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass is partnering with local Libraries and Law

Enforcement in the Name of Bike Safety

Summer vacation is nearly here and this is a great time for the kids to have outdoor fun.

Since bike riding is part of that fun and we want our children to stay safe, Safe Kids

Sarpy/Cass is sponsoring a bike safety poster contest and bike safety presentation at the

libraries in Sarpy and Cass Counties. The poster contests and bike safety presentations

will take place at the Sarpy and Cass County libraries during the months of May and

June.

Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass is supplying the Police Officers and Sheriff Departments in Sarpy

County LED flashing stars to present to kids that the officers see wearing their bike

helmets. The officers will start awarding the flashing stars in June. Jane Husz says “We

want to teach our children how to be safe on a bike and we want to reward them for

wearing a helmet which is a big part of bike safety.”

For more information about this Safe Kids program, contact your local Sarpy or Cass

County Library or Jane Husz, Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass at 402-339-4334 ext. 210 or visit the

Sarpy/Cass Department of Health and Wellness/Safe Kids website

http://www.sarpycasshealthdepartment.org/safe_kids.html.

Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass works to prevent unintentional childhood injury, the leading cause

of death and disability to children under the age of 14. Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass is a member

of Safe Kids Worldwide and Safe Kids Nebraska (global and statewide networks of

organizations dedicated to preventing unintentional injury). Safe Kids Sarpy/Cass was

founded in 2006 and is led by The Sarpy/Cass Department of Health and Wellness. This

bike safety program is made possible through a grant from Safe Kids Nebraska.
