The Otoe County K 9 suffered a massive injury estimated to cost them near $12,000 for surgery.
The dog was looking for suspects at night when he was walking across a bridge and took an unfortunate step sending him 30 feet onto a pile a cement chunks. The dog suffered numerous injuries and was rushed to Kansas City for surgery. Last I heard, the dog has a near 60% chance of a full recovery. They are accepting donations to help defray the costs of surgery. I am guessing that they will also be needing to purchase a new K 9.
As I have personally used this K9's expertise, I am accepting donations for the Otoe County K 9 fund on behalf of the Cass County Sheriff's Office. I would like to give them my donation by March 25 (This Friday!) and hope that I may have more to give them from others as well.
I know that money is tight right now, but anything will help. Let's help our fellow brothers to the South and help a K 9 that would give his life for ours!
Thank You

KBC Productions and Mahoney State Park announces that the romantic comedy, "Suitehearts" will begin its winter theater season run on March 25.  The story revolves around two newlywed couples who are mistakenly double-booked in the same honeymoon suite.  The Taylor's are very young, naive and visiting the big city for the first time.  The Bellamy's are older and have a more jaded outlook on life and romance.  With the help of a meddlesome bellboy, the couples find themselves in some impossible, but hilarious situations.  Adult audience members will all see a little of themselves in each of these characters as they learn the difference between a wedding and a marriage.   

Starring in the production are Director Kevin Colbert from Weeping Water, Shari Hoelker from Omaha, Marikita Payne, Emma Hoffman and Adam Kovar all of Lincoln and Dave Hibler of Manley.  Performance dates are March 25-27, April 1-3, 8-10, 15-17, 22 and 23.  Tickets $8 for adults and $6 for children.  Curtain times are 7:30pm on Fridays and Saturdays; 2pm on Sundays.  Please call Mahoney State Park for reservations:  (402) 944-2523 ext. 7122.  A state park sticker or day pass is required to enter the park.

NACT Festival



To Be Held at Lofte


Manley, NE [February 25, 2011] - The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley, NE is notifying our friends within the media of an exciting event which we feel would be worthy of your coverage.  On March 16 through March 20, the Lofte will be playing host to the Nebraska Association of Community Theatre's Festival competition.  There will be a total of ten community theaters from across the states of Nebraska and Missouri competing in a one-act play competition.  This marks the largest number of registered participants in recent years.  Winners earn the opportunity to advance to the American Association of Community Theaters Region V competition in Salina, Kansas in April.
The NACT was founded in 1966 and is dedicated to the growth and development of community theaters throughout Nebraska.  The organization holds an annual conference at rotating locations across the state.  Every other year, they hold a festival competition in addition to their business meetings and workshops.  2011 marks the first year that the Lofte Theatre has been selected as a festival site.
The state of Missouri has a similar organization, MoACT, but they were unable to organize their own festival activities this year.  When NACT extended an invitation to some of the Missouri theaters to join in the fun, several accepted the offer with enthusiasm.
Theaters registered to compete in the event are coming from the following communities:
Manley, NE
Beatrice, NE
Hastings, NE
Minden, NE
Sidney, NE
Rushville, NE
St. Louis, MO (2)
Mexico, MO
Independence, MO
We hope you strongly consider covering this exciting event.  The camaraderie and enthusiasm during the festival are contagious.  These individuals represent the best of their communities.  Their strong commitment to the arts should be celebrated.  If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me using the information listed below.
Sincerely,
Anne Pope
Chairman, Lofte Community Theatre

2011 AT THE LOFTE THEATRE --

Here is the schedule for the year:

“Leaving Iowa” performances on May 28, 29, June 3-5, 9-12. It is described as a laugh-out-loud comedy about Don Browning, a middle-aged writer who returns home and decides to finally take his father’s ashes to his childhood home.
“Annie” performances on July 22-24, 28-31 and Aug 4-7. The popular comic strip heroine takes the center stage in one of the world’s best-loved musicals.
“Cliffhanger” performances are Sept 3, 4, 9-11 & 15-18. Mingling suspense and humor, this thriller follows Henry Lowenthal, a mild-mannered professor of philosophy who is looking forward to being appointed to an endowed chair so he and his wife can enjoy their golden years with honor and dignity. But their plans are given a rude jolt.
“Don’t Dress for Dinner” performances are Oct 15, 16, 21-23 and 27-30. Bernard is planning a weekend with his chic mistress in a farmhouse. His plan is foolproof; what could possibly go wrong?
“A Christmas Survival Guide” performances are Dec 3, 4, 9-11, and 15-18. This intimate revue takes a wry and knowing look at a stressful season.
---The remaining special events schedule for The Lofte this year:
“Nebraska Association of Community Theaters Festival” March 18-20. Community theaters from all over the states of Nebraska and Missouri compete in a two-day one-act play competition.
“Missoula Children’s Theater – Pinocchio” June 18th 3pm & 6pm.  Two directors from Missoula Montana will work with 60 local children during a week of rehearsals.
