Saturday, March 6 Social - Play at Actor's Net

Time: 7:30pm doors open, 8pm starts the play

Location: The Actor’s Net, Delmorr Ave, Morrisville, PA

Cost: $20

Leader: Kris Schmidt

The Play's the Thing, P.G Woodhouse adaption of Ferenc Molnar’s comic farce. A playwright and his collaborator bring a young composer in love with the leading lady of an upcoming musical to a weekend retreat. The trio overhear the leading lady having a dalliance with another man. The jilted composer vows to kill the production. Overnight, the playwright invents a new story line to save the show by convincing the composer what they overheard was not an actual romantic overture, but a rehearsal of new dialogue for their new play. This witty romp has it all.

TBA Volunteer - Lions' Eye
The World Health Organization estimates that the eyesight of one-fourth of the world's population can be improved through the use of corrective lenses.

Unfortunately for many, a pair of glasses is both unaffordable and inaccessible. In developing countries, an eye exam costs as much as one month's wages, and a single doctor may serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people.

For nearly 70 years, individual Lions Clubs have collected used eyeglasses for distribution to the needy in developing nations.

Volunteers are needed to help sort glasses for distribution to other countries at the Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf.

Time:  9:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Location:  Katzenbach School for the Deaf, 320 Sullivan Way, West Trenton (drive in until you have to turn right; then, fourth, & final, left at the stop sign)
