for the individual campers who sign up.

The July Camp (Monday, July 8 - Friday, July 12) is for folks who consider

themselves intermediate or advanced. Enrollment is limited to 10 fiddlers for each week,

Auditions for 'The Boys Next Door' at Lofte Community Theatre

Manley, NE [July 1, 2013] - The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley announces that it will be holding open auditions for 'The Boys Next Door' at 7pm on Monday, July 22 and Tuesday, July 23. 'Boys,' is a very funny yet very touching play that focuses on the lives of four special needs men who live in a communal residence under the watchful eye of their social worker.

Artistic Director Kevin Colbert notes that the script is designed so that 6 of the supporting roles may be played by one actress and one actor. However, if we have enough auditionees, the cast may be doubled. Also the script suggests that the role of Lucian be an African American.

Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Rehearsals will begin in late July. Performances will run weekends August 31-September 15. Those auditioning should bring a list of possible schedule conflicts. Questions about auditions or the production itself may be directed to Kevin Colbert at 402-234-2553.

Eagle Elementary will be welcoming three new teachers to the building. Mrs. Marci Sorenson will be teaching 3rd grade. Marci replaces Mrs. Stepp who accepted a teaching position at O'Neill Public Schools. Ms. Rachel Prieksat is our new media specialist. She replaces Mrs. Hestermann who accepted the same position at Syracuse Public Schools. Mrs. Ashley Hellige will be teaching 5th grade and replacing Ms. Foreman.
