Sport produces great human drama and there is no greater sports
icon than Hall of Fame football coach Vince Lombardi. Though
football’s Super Bowl trophy is named for him, few know the real
story of Lombardi the man—his inspirations, his passions, and
his ability to drive people to achieve what they never thought
possible. This mixed-media production will follow Lombardi’s
journey, attempting to lead the Green Bay Packers to the 1965
Championship. Based on the book When Pride Still Mattered—A
Life of Vince Lombardi by David Mar, Eric Simonsen’s script will
have you cheering from your seats. Showing in the Studio Theatre, this production will be presented Nov 8 –17, 2013.

Our children’s theatre troupe, The CHERRY STREET PLAYERS begins
this month. This program is for all Black Hills youths, ages 9-17, who wish to
explore their artistic talent. Fall and Spring sessions are offered. Weekly classes involve children in learning the fundamentals of creating live theatre. Students improve communication & teamwork skills through memorization of
scenes and monologues, games and dynamic stage exercises. This is not just
for those young ones who want to perform onstage. There are many aspects
to live theatre including carpentry, crafts, costumes, sound, lights, to name a
few. This is a tuition-based program. Coming in December, The Cherry
Street Players will present, THE BULLY PLAYS by various authors. This
collections of stories focuses on issues our children are faced with, told
through their eyes. December 13-15, 2013. And in April of 2014 they will
present THE LITTLE MERMAID, based on the Grimm Brothers’ tale.
For more information on The Cherry Street Players please call Stephen Farruggia @ 394-2250.
