There is one more play left in the 2015 season.The final play of the season is the local musical ‘Dear Johnny Deere’ and is on Saturday, May 16.

Juno award winning singer/songwriter Fred Eaglesmith‘s soulful melodies and playful lyrics have earnedhim legions of fans from coast to coast.

We've put more effort into helping folks reach old age than into helping themenjoy it.-- Frank A. Clark

Create the Highest, Grandest vision possible for your life, because you becomewhat you believe. – - Oprah

Most people think that aging is irreversible and we know that there aremechanisms even in the human machinery that allow for the reversal of aging,through correction of diet, through anti-oxidants, through removal of toxinsfrom the body, through exercise, through yoga and breathing techniques, andthrough meditation.-- Deepak Chopra

I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years ofmaturity.-- Albert Einstein

As we grow old…the beauty steals inward.~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged,sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong.Sometime in your life you will have been all of these."-- Dr. Robert H. Goddard (American rocket engineer 1882-1945)

"There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity youbring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap thissource, you will truly have defeated age."-- Sophia Loren

You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as yourdespair.-- Douglas MacArthur
