Now Boarding For Seaworthy Comedy! A century ago, "melodramas" were serious stories of heroes, heroines, villains, adventure, danger, rescue, and love. In contemporary theatre circles, melodramas are alive and well . . . but with a twist. Nowadays, it's all played for laughs, and a melodrama like Billy St. John's “Peril on the High Seas” is nothing short of an over-the-top send-up of the corny heroes-meet-villains premise. Come aboard for a boatload of laughs as you meet hilarious cardboard characters such as lovesick waiter Cary De Mille, innocent heiress Merry Ann Sweet (and her chaperone, Bea Goode), bumbling off-duty cop Willy Ketchum . . . and, of course, our cartoonishly comical villains, Snively Swine and Aracnia Webb!
Hollywood columnist Hedda Hooper (June Wootton, right) feels obliged to be cordial toward insufferable tourists Wanda and Willy Ketchum (Suzanne St. Pierre, David Schmidt). Photo by Joe Facinelli Peril on the High Seas takes place on a 1920's ocean liner, so watch out for ditzy flappers, pesky tourists, Hollywood celebrities, British nobility, and that smarmy entertainment director. Don't miss the boat! ("It's a ship," insists the stuffy captain.) Peril on the High Seas will be staged August 11-12 at 7:30 p.m. and August 13 at 3:00 p.m., at Mountain View High School in Kingsley, PA. Reservations are not required for this show. For more information, call (570) 278–7828, or visit www.4emtc.org.

One of the highlights of the annual Blueberry Festival for most people is delicious food, which will be available in abundance Friday, August 4, and Saturday, August 5, during the 27th annual festival. The Blueberry Festival began in 1980 as a fundraiser for the Susquehanna County Historical Society and Free Library Association, which serves the county with a museum, a main library and three branches (Forest City, Hallstead-Great Bend, Susquehanna), Books-By-Mail, and Books-On-Wheels. Breakfast and lunch will be served on the Village Green during the Festival. For breakfast (8-10:30 a.m.) there will be pancakes with blueberry sauce, sausage, and fruit. At lunchtime, the choices will include hamburgers, hotdogs, pizza, and more. Members of the community will provide a variety of food and snacks all day on Friday and Saturday, starting of course with fresh, local-grown blueberries. There are new options for snacks this year, cotton candy and snow cones! Blueberry muffins, ice cream, pie and other baked goods will be for sale, as well as lemonade. Jams, jellies, and produce of all sorts are donated by local people to benefit the Association. You can even keep the Festival flavor going all year by purchasing one of the popular cookbooks featuring local recipes. Once again there will be a Blueberry Muffin Contest. The muffins will be judged at 10 a.m. Friday by a panel of local celebrities. Afterwards, winning muffins will be available to buy! To enter, please submit two dozen home-made (no mixes) blueberry muffins by 9:30 a.m. Friday, accompanied by a form available at the Montrose Library ahead of time, on the library's website (bluefest.susqcolibrary.org) or at the Muffin Table on Friday morning. You don’t have to enter the contest to bring muffins for the table, and mixes are fine for those! Baked goods of all kinds are needed (please bring to the Library starting Thursday evening), as are volunteer workers. If you can spare an hour or two either day, please call 278-1881 or stop by the library. Saturday of the Festival will be a special day for teens and tweens! The Upper Green will be the center for teen events from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Live bands scheduled to play in the Gazebo include East Bay View, Flutterkick, Cootie Shot, and Thesis Statement. A Dodgeball Tournament will also be held, with two age groups: 12-14 and 15-18. Registration is from 9 a.m. - 10 a.m. and a parent must be present. On the main Green, near Kids' Games, tweens can enjoy new activities this year from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., pie-eating and bubble-gum blowing contests and water balloons! The 27th annual festival promises to be fun for all ages.
