| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | AUGUST 2017 | 31 THE SUN LAKES FOLLIES IS ALMOST HERE! Only eight weeks until Follies time! Our members are busy this month and September with rehearsals to polish their numbers for your pleasure. Costumes and sets are being made. We are doing a countdown until Just For Laughs opens on Fri., Sept. 29 and continues Sat., Sept. 30, and Sun., Oct. 1. Public ticket sale will be Sat., Sept. 17, from 9 to 11 am in the Main Ballroom. Mark your calendar to get your tickets and enjoy a performance of pure fun! So many talented performers! Sun Lakes Follies Work is underway for our February, 2018 That's Entertainment production. Our theme has been selected, "Adventures Through Time." Each month we meet new members who have been a thespian prior to moving to Sun Lakes. Come to our general meeting and learn more about our club. Have you previously performed a song, dance, or a skit that would blend in with our production? If you are interested in any of these activities, please contact Susan Fitzpatrick at 769-0801 or Jan Stapel at 769-6110. We also are seeking volunteers - such as stagehands, announcers, ticket sellers, and publicity to name a few areas. We welcome you to attend our general meetings on the first Tuesday of every month. We meet on the stage side of the Main Clubhouse Ballroom at 1 pm. Our dues are very reasonable; $10 for an individual or $15 per couple. Our next meeting will be held Aug. 1. It would be great to see new people who are interested in theater activities. For more information, call Barb Searcy at 663-3382 or Jan Stapel at 769-6110. Mystery Theater & More The 13th Annual Violin and Piano Concert will be held Sun., Aug. 6 at 2 pm. This extremely popular event once again brings back Maki Ishii Sowash on violin. Maki, a violinist with the San Francisco Opera (and the daughter-in-law of Lorene Sowash, a Sun Lakes resident), will perform with Motoko Marita, Emiko Nakamura and Kaoru Hagishima. It is an annual tradition that they spend part of their trip from Japan to perform for us. Tickets are still on sale in the Main Clubhouse lobby through Aug. 4 from 10 am to 3 pm. The $15 price will include refreshments at a reception immediately following the concert in the Ballroom. If you prefer, you may call Lorene Sowash at 769-9999 to order tickets and pick them up at Will Call. Rehearsals for our fall production of Annette Tringham's Chatterton Country Club will begin this month. Previously performed in 2010, Annette has updated it with two brand new pieces that complete the story of this zany cast of characters who may or may not look familiar to you. One last make-up audition will take place Aug. 2. If you're interested, call Annette at 552-5885.. The Drama Club is always accepting new members. If you are interested, please contact Sue Dunn, Secretary (769-7552) for more information. Our monthly meetings are on the stage side of the main ballroom at 1 pm on the first Thursday of each month. Yearly dues are $13 for an individual and $20 for a couple. See the Lifestyles Magazine and stay updated by joining our Facebook group: Sun Lakes Playhouse. Drama Club
