2014-10-14 Red-Apple


At the farmer's market a pretty, young lady asked the price of apples. The guy winked at her and said, "One kiss for each."  

 The young woman hesitated for a moment,then smiled and asked for 12 apples.  

Smiling as he handed over the bag of apples, he declared that she now owed a dozen kisses. 

Winking back at him, she pointed to the elderly gentleman behind her and replied, "Oh, Grandpa said he's paying."

HITCHCOCK-BASED, "WRONG WINDOW!"  

to OPEN at  

LOFTE THEATRE 

The hilarious Hitchcock-inspired farce, " Wrong Window!" will open on the Lofte Community Theatre's stage on October 11. The script is written by the successful writing team of VanZandt and Milmore whose other works include "Love, Sex and the I.R.S.," and "Suitehearts."


New York couple Marnie and Jeff think their neighbor has killed his wife. However, the woman's body soon disappears and the bumbling witnesses sneak into the cross-courtyard apartment to solve the mystery. In all, there are over 30 script references to the works and characters in Alfred Hitchcock films. Can you spot them all?

The production is directed by and stars Kevin Colbert as Jeff. His wife Marnie is played by Brandy Palatas of Papillion. Rounding out the cast are Scott Pope and Scott Nielsen of Eagle, Melinda Mead of Plattsmouth, John Bell and Ken Patry of Omaha, and Jeff Johnston and Ken Snyder of Elmwood. Alyssa DiPaolo of Lincoln gives a stunning performance as the dead body.

Performance dates for "Wrong Window!" are October 11, 12, 17-19 and 24-26. Friday and Saturday curtain times are at 7:30pm. All Sunday performances are 2pm matinees. Tickets are $19 and reservations can be made by calling the box office at 402-234-2553. The Lofte Community Theatre is located just east of Hwy 50 near the town of Manley.

FIDDLING BEE 

Greenblatt & Seay proudly announce the Eighteenth ANNUAL SCHOOLHOUSE FIDDLING BEE.  This historical, hysterical event will take place on Sunday, October 12, at 2:30 PM, downstairs in the Old Avoca, Nebraska Schoolhouse.  In the Open Division, fiddlers will play a hoedown, a waltz, and a tune of choice.  There will also be other divisions of competition available for the adventurous fiddlers, including a Singing Fiddler's Contest, a Twin Fiddler's Contest, a Fee-Fi-Faux Fiddler's Contest (fiddle tunes played on any instrument other than a fiddle), and a Hocus-Pocus Contest (cross-tuning, sound effects, dancing, etc.), which will give fiddlers an opportunity to play tunes that are usually not allowed in any other contest.

Contestants can pre-register on line (http://www.greenblattandseay.com/schoolhouse_fiddling_bee_preregistration.shtml).

Admission is $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for students, and $1.00 for children.  Fiddlers and their back-ups are admitted for free.  The contest will be followed by a light snack and an acoustic jam session.

For more information, call 402-275-3221, log on to www.greenblattandseay.com, or e-mail debby@greenblattandseay.com
