Belle of Amherst, William Luce’s one-woman character study of Emily Dickinson was written in 1976 for Julie Harris, who went on to win a Tony award for her performance on Broadway. Over half the play’s material comes directly from the letters and poems of Dickinson herself, blended seamlessly into a stream-of-consciousness “visit” with the audience. Filled with passion, pathos, and plenty of gentle humor, the play offers a glimpse into the life and mind of one of America’s most beloved poets.

In our performance, the role of Emily Dickinson is played by Danielle Juzan and directed by Ivan Davidson. Ms. Juzan has over twenty-five years of experience in community and other amateur theater. She is a playwright, blogger and political columnist at modmobilian.com.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2

Picking up precisely where its hit predecessor left off, Sony Pictures Animation's Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 finds Flint Lockwood (voice of Bill Hader) invited to join the Live Corp Company, and use his gift for invention for the good of mankind. Just as young Flint prepares to go to work for his hero Chester V (voice of Will Forte), however, the young genius learns that his water-to-food machine is not only still functional, but it's also started cross-breeding animals with food. Now, in order to prevent a growing army of "foodimals" from escaping isolation on an island and wreaking havoc on the mainland, Flint and his loyal group of friends will have to do battle with such delicious, but deadly, hybrids as the ferocious tacodiles, slithering apple pie-thons, and vine-swinging shrimpanzees.

The film runs 95 minutes and is rated PG.

This month's topic of discussion is The Outcasts by  Kathleen Kent.

Summary: A taut, thrilling adventure story about buried treasure, a manhunt, and a woman determined to make a new life for herself in the old west. It's the 19th century on the Gulf Coast, a time of opportunity and lawlessness. After escaping the Texas brothel where she'd been a virtual prisoner, Lucinda Carter heads for Middle Bayou to meet her lover, who has a plan to make them both rich, chasing rumors of a pirate's buried treasure. Meanwhile Nate Cannon, a young Texas policeman with a pure heart and a strong sense of justice, is on the hunt for a ruthless killer named McGill who has claimed the lives of men, women, and even children across the frontier. Who--if anyone--will survive when their paths finally cross? As Lucinda and Nate's stories converge, guns are drawn, debts are paid, and Kathleen Kent delivers an unforgettable portrait of a woman who will stop at nothing to make a new life for herself.
