SHOW & CONCERT SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
NOVEMBER 9 - 10, 15 - 17  The Beaver Bobcat Players present Blithe Spirit. Here's Noel Coward at his wittiest. This hilarious romp through the supernatural finds the urbane Charles Condomine hosting a seance for research on his latest book. A bizarre psychic mistakenly conjures the spirit of his deceased wife, and the haunt is on. Can Charles resist the flirtations of his (literally) spirited wife? Can his present wife subdue her jealousy? Can the inept psychic control the appearance and disappearance of restless souls in other realms? For the answers to these queries, join in this delightful homage to things that go bump (and possibly grind) in the night.  All shows are at 7:30 p.m. at the Ed Schaughency Theater in the Beaver Middle/High School.
NOVEMBER 14    Beaver Valley Community Concert Association presents Mac Frampton and his six-piece group performing Pop Go the Classics. Featuring Henry Mancini's principal trumpeter Cecil Welsh, the group presents classical music with a twist of pop. Their repertoire includes Rossini's William Tell Overture, J.S. Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring and Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue as well as other well know classics. At the door tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for students.  To obtain tickets mail a check or money order to Membership Chair Peg Denhart, 604 6th Avenue, Patterson Heights, Beaver Falls, PA  15010.  All concerts are held at the Beaver Falls Middle School Auditorium at 7:30 p.m.
NOVEMBER 16-18  Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center presents The Addams Family Young @ Part. They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, and they're coming to Lincoln Park! Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart, young man. When the teen invites her new boyfriend over with his "normal" family to the Addams household, comedic chaos erupts into laugh after laugh for the entire family. Friday and Saturday there are shows at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday shows are at 2 p.m.
NOVEMBER 30-DECEMBER 2, DECEMBER 7-9  Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center presents Miracle on 34th Street.  When an old man by the name of Kris Kringle gets a job working as Santa for Macy's Department Store, a young girl and her mother begin to suspect there is much more to Mr. Kringle than meets the eye.  This classic holiday story reminds us to keep the child in all of us alive and well! Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. on Sundays.
DECEMBER 13-16  Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center presents The Nutcracker.  Waltzing snowflakes, enchanted toys and the Sugarplum Fairy take audiences and Clara on a magical journey.
