“Bop and Evey” International Debut
Written by Caoimhín Ó Rían
Featuring David Yeates and Erin McCarson
A brother and a sister who have been disconnected in recent years find themselves back in their parents’ home for Christmas only to rediscover and attempt to solve their childhood issues. Watch Robert and Evelyn relive their former selves in this heartwarming comedic drama.
This play evolved from an Acting/Writing Exercise which took place in Coláiste Dhúlaigh in 2010, where two actors (Caoimhín Ó Rían and Megan Keegan) wrote and performed a short scene using language in the most unique and creative of fashions. “Bop and Evey” became one of the most celebrated creative achievements of the year and went on to perform on the Dublin Theatre scene.
(Contains Adult Material)

Set sail for laughter as Bertie Wooster revels in life aboard the Vanderley yacht. Bertie is the pampered guest of the lively Lady Stella (very fetching profile), accompanied, as always, by his peerless valet, Jeeves. If only Bertie’s pal Crumpet hadn’t assaulted a prince. In the blink of an eye, Bertie is masquerading as a romance novelist, Crumpet’s posing as his own long-lost twin, and a sinister foreign count is challenging Bertie to a duel. Will this madcap case of mistaken identities end in Bertie’s doom–or worse, his marriage? Have no fear; Jeeves will sort it all out.

Music by Tom Snow; Lyrics by Dean Pitchford; Stage Adaptation by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie
A musical version of the 1984 film! When teenager Ren McCormack moves from Chicago to a small town, he isn’t prepared for the stifling local laws, including a ban on dancing and rock music instituted by the local preacher. As he struggles to fit in, he encourages his classmates to defy the local pastor and call for a rock’n’roll prom. Fist pump!
“Footloose” combines songs from the hit 1984 soundtrack with dynamic new songs – and though it might seem like just a lot of fun, it also celebrates the wisdom of opening minds and listening to the voices of young people. Director Jerry Crouch, music director Lynda Ferrell Shuler, and choreographer Tina Pisano-Foor have put together an incredible cast of students and adults from our community to bring “Footloose” to life!

APRIL B & THE COOL
JEFF SANTIAGO Y LOS GATOS
MOLLI PARTI
and others T.B.A.
On Dec. 12,2018
Appalachia lost a native son,
One who poured passion
into family and culture;
friendship and task.
Lionhearted, he cruised
a Sunday morning,
Earthwise groove;
never so proud
as to be unkind;
just enough to call,
“that’s real”.
And his giggle boomed
But his sweetest honey,
was the funk
in his feet.
It picked all up,
when he got down.
For the soul of Brian Christopher Daniel
Let’s Dance
N.H.
Join us in the honor of this beautiful soul while acknowledging what would have been his 50th, and let’s shake a rug as he would have wanted.
We will also be raising funds to support www.theadeproject.org
in his honor.
