‘Band Geeks’ Opens at GLTG
July 16-18
Summertime means plenty of summer workshop shows, and the line is beginning at Geauga Lyric Theater. Whether you were in the band, on the team, or in the stands, you’ll recognize the woes and revel in the fun of “Band Geeks.”
With just nine members and dwindling funds, the Cuyahoga High Marching Beavers are close to extinction. When a troubled athlete is relegated to their ranks, Elliott, the tuba-playing band captain, and Laura, his best friend, must find a way to unite the band, embrace their inner geek and save the Marching Beavers.
Directed by Lisa-Marie French, the teen musical workshop presents this fun show on Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 and help support the education program at GLTG.
The historic Geauga Theater is located at 101 Water St. in Chardon.
GANG Goes to the Dogs
July 21, 6:30-8 p.m.
The Geauga Arts Network Group (GANG) program, which is open to the community, will take place at the Geauga County Dog Shelter & Warden’s facility at 12513 Merritt Road in Chardon.
Featured artist Anita Silverman, of Chester Township, will be doing quick sketches “on the spot” of dogs currently in residence. Her drawings will go home with each dog, as adoptions occur.
Visitors are encouraged to bring a monetary donation for the shelter or a donation from its wish list, which includes leashes, collars, paper towels, Lysol, laundry soap, dryer sheets, Nature’s Miracle, straw, Pupperoni, rawhide and soft chewies. For a complete list or to preview the dogs currently in residence, visit the Geauga County Dog Shelter page on Facebook and click on the www.petfinder.com link in the “About” summary on the left side of the page.
Light refreshments will be served as visitors stroll the grounds, following the artist as she works. Seating is limited so visitors are requested to bring their own folding chair.
