Lakeside Players In I Love Lucy Spoof Take a walk down memory lane with Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel when The Lakeside Players present “Trouble at the Tropicabana,” an audience participation mystery by Tony Schwartz and Marylou Ambrose. The curtain rises on Saturday, October 13, at 7:30 p.m., in Union Dale Hall.
Marylou Ambrose appears as Lucy Bicardi in The Lakeside Players‚ original production, Trouble at the Tropicabana, playing in Union Dale Hall October 13. What can you expect from an audience participation mystery show? Fun, the minute you walk in the door! The action takes place in Lucy and Ricky’s living room, then switches to Ricky’s club, the Tropicabana. You'll hear Ricky sing some Latin favorites, see the Cabana girls dance, join in a conga line, and take mambo lessons. Besides Lucy, Ricky, Fred, and Ethel, you'll meet movie-mogul heiress, Celia B. DeMilo; Mr. Big, a notorious gangster; and Ricky’s cousin Rosita, an illegal alien. Will Ricky sign a movie contract? Is Celia who she claims to be? Will Lucy and Ethel ruin Ricky’s big chance with another harebrained scheme to get into show business? What’s the escaped convict, Mr. Big doing at Ricky’s club? How do the Cabana girls keep those fruit baskets on their heads? And, who committed the murder? The murder? That’s right – the murder! Someone will be ruthlessly murdered at the end of the show, and it’s up to you to solve the crime! For ticket information, call (570) 226-6207.
Everyone knows how great church bake sales are, with their memorable pies, cakes, breads and cookies. Well, this is an opportunity for each church in the area to encourage their pie makers to enter Susquehanna County’s “Harvest of the Arts” Pie Baking Contest on October 6 in Susquehanna Depot. Three judges will have the difficult job of selecting first, second and third place pies. Men, women and children who enjoy eating pie will have the opportunity to purchase slices of fresh-baked pies after the judging has been completed. The money from this sale will be used to promote the visual, musical and performing arts in Susquehanna County. Your church or organization may be interested in setting up a tent and table in the Farmers Market area to sell pies, cakes, breads, cookies and candy. Contact Margaret Biegert at 853-5016 (day) 853-4640 (evenings) or sbiegert@echoes.net for Farmers Market information. For other information, contact Alice Deutsch at 756-2044 or randa@nep.net.

New Children’s Choir Auditions Auditions for a new children’s community choir in our area, the Endless Mountains Children’s Choir, will be held Thursday, October 4, 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the South Gibson United Methodist Church. Dr. Christine C. Sezer is the artistic director and founder, and Boyd Manzer is the manager. Children who love to sing, from grades 4 through 9 with unchanged voices (treble voices Soprano I, Soprano II and Alto) are welcome to try out. The choir will begin weekly Thursday rehearsals on October 11, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the church. There will be two choir semesters – semester one will be October to January and semester two will be February to June and include any special summer performances that may be scheduled. Tuition includes vocal training, the choir uniform, music, music folders, and practice CD’s. The children will be taught various types and styles of music literature, including multicultural music. Singing in various languages, including American sign language, will be an exciting adventure for the children. Vocal technique, including intonation, tone quality, tone production, breath control, phrasing, musicianship, interpretation, memory skills, diction, singing posture and music reading skills, will be taught and focused upon during the choir rehearsals. Members of the Endless Mountains Children’s Choir will also have an opportunity to participate in American Choral Directors Association events such as All State, All Eastern and National ACDA Honors Choirs. There will also be opportunities for various combined choir performances, both locally and out of state. A performance at the White House will be a main goal to work toward. Dr. Sezer was artistic director and conductor of the NJ Chamber Singers Children’s Choir, a community children’s choir which during their tour of Austria had the distinct honor of performing with the Vienna Boys’ Choir at the Palais Augsburg in Vienna. The choir also performed in a televised presentation of the International Choral Festival in Salzburg, which included choirs from all over the world. Most recently, Dr. Sezer was artistic director and conductor of the NJ Children’s Chamber Choir, who performed a holiday concert at White House last December. Dr. Sezer recently retired from 39 years of public school teaching. During those years, Dr. Sezer’s choral groups and concert choirs performed with the highest level of excellence in numerous choral festivals and competitions by consistently placing First with Superior ratings by festival and competition judges. Most noteworthy of competition festivals include the Heritage Invitational Festival in Winchester, Virginia and the Adjudicators National Invitational Festival performance at Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. To schedule an audition time on Thursday October 4, 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., contact Dr. Sezer at (570) 756-2961 or email drcsezer@yahoo.com, or contact choir manager Boyd Manzer at (570) 756-3047.
