Inspiration
'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.'
When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but
merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this
sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will
not protect you.' Do not break!

Laughing Stock" at the Lofte

The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley would like to announce its final regular-season show for the 2008 will open on Friday, October 17. "Laughing Stock" by Charles Morey takes the audience members behind the scenes to witness the hysterical goings-on of a small barn theater. The acting company finds itself wrestling with outrageous auditions, ego-driven rehearsals and opening nights where absolutely everything goes wrong. Many audience members will enjoy the humor because of the script's similarities to the Lofte itself.
Cast members include Kevin Colbert and Bob Pinkerton of Weeping Water; Melinda mead and Joshua Smith of Plattsmouth; Jamion Biesterfeld of Louisville; Roland Kelley of Otoe; Tim Sorensen of Elmwood; Brenna Jean Thompson and James Michaelson of Lincoln; Virginia Howe Kincaid of Elkhorn ; Rob Carrera of Bellevue ; Mary Kathryn Nagle and Shari Hoelker of Omaha .
Performances run Oct. 17-19, 24-26, 30-31 and Nov. 1-2. Curtain times are at 7:30pm except for Sundays which are 2pm matinees. General admission tickets are $15 and can be purchased by calling the Lofte Box Office at (402)234-2553 or online at www.Lofte.com.
