Games afootAbrams Theatre Presents “The Game’s Afoot”

Abrams Spotlight Productions, Inc. will present, The Game’s Afoot or Holmes for the Holidays (Book by, Ken Ludwig) August 14, 2015 – August 23, 2015 at The Byng Community Theater in Abrams.

It is December 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast-members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it’s up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

Opening night is Friday, August 14 at 7:00pm. Abrams Spotlight Productions, Inc. will be celebrating by having an Opening Night Gala. Patrons that attend opening night will receive complimentary hors d’oeuvres and drinks after the show (with the cast and crew).

Subsequent show dates are as follows:

August 15th at 1pm & 7pm
August 16th at 1pm
August 21st at 7pm
August 22nd at 1pm & 7pm
August 23rd at 1pm

Performances are at The Byng Community Theater, 5852 Maple Street, Abrams. Tickets are $12.00 for Adults (18-64), $10.00 for Seniors (65+) and Youth (5-17), and $5.00 for Children (4 and under). Tickets can be purchased online at www.AbramsTheatre.com or by calling the Box Office at 920-826-5852.

MISSOULA CHILDREN’S THEATRE PRESENTS THE WIZ OF THE WEST

WOW PHOTO 300 DPIConceived and Written by Michael McGill

Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill

Join Missoula Children’s Theatre and 50 area children as they present THE WIZ OF THE WEST, the classic story THE WIZARD OF OZ, but with a twist…or should we say, twister?! Follow Tinhorn, Lionel, Scared Crow, Dotty and, of course, her little dog Mooch through a saga of Western adventure and personal discovery. First they tangle with Mad Dog’s gang of bad, barkin’, back-bitin’ hounds who work for the meanest old witch in the West, Hawknose Halley. Then they encounter the brainless Buzzards and the terrifying Tarantulas. The singin’ Coyotes help move things along while Ma and Pa Munch and the rest of the Munch Kin point out the way to Dr. Ozzy, the Wizard of Frontier Medicine. Which way is that? Why Westward, o’ course! THE WIZ OF THE WEST…a fairy tale with a twang!

Tickets:  Adults $11/Students & Children: $6  *All tickets subject to a $2 processing fee

Construction Update June 12

OFChamber

Highway 22 street construction in Oconto Falls:
Paving started today on the west half of Chestnut Avenue, beginning at the the East Highland Drive intersection. Paving was scheduled to continue past Monroe Street, and the pavement will take about a week to cure so the street will be closed. However, the Jackson Street intersection will be open.

Sidewalk work was scheduled to start on Friday on Chestnut Avenue, but contractors don’t plan to place top soil, seed or mulch yet.

Crews will continue their work on storm sewer, grading and graveling of Chestnut Avenue to South Main Street.
