Sports & Exercise Activities Around the Glen
Want to learn this fun game? Come join us on Tuesday, October 29 and Thursday, October 31 from 10-11 am to get the basics of the game. You will learn how to serve the ball, volley, dink (yes, it’s a funny word but an important part of the game), keep score and other rules of the game, and most importantly “stay out of the KITCHEN”. Come if you have never been to a clinic before, or if you have previously attended and need some more infor-mation. You will have the opportunity to play a game or two with some other newbies. We look forward to seeing you on the courts.

The Players Announce 2020 Production
The Players of the Glen are pleased to announce that the award-winning comedy, Lovers and Other Strangers by Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna, will be their production this season. This comedy about relationships consists of four separate vignettes set in the 60’s. Performances will take place on March 20, 21, and 22.
Director Trish Perry will be conducting auditions on Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8 from 1-4 in Card Room C. NEW THIS YEAR.... Trish will be hosting an informational Pre-Audition meeting on Thursday, November 21 from 6:30-8:00 pm in Activity room A. This is a chance for anyone who is thinking they might want to audition to see what it’s all about. Trish will answer any and all questions about the audition process, the commitment involved and give you the inside scoop on how much fun we have.
This production is perfect for anyone who has never been onstage before. It has four separate scenes requiring less stage time and fewer lines to memorize. Each scene is extremely funny, yet poignant. Trish will work one on one with any “newbies” to make the experience fun and the show a success.
Trish will be looking for actors to fill the following roles:
JERRY-a single guy that just wants some fun and romance
BRENDA-a single gal, hippie-ish, who is fun, vivacious and a bit “over the top”
HAL-a cheating husband trying to make everything work CATHY-his long-suffering mistress
WILMA-a strong woman looking for her “femininity”
JOHNNY- an ex-marine fighting a losing battle to be “the boss”
FRANK-a strong stubborn second-generation American father with little formal education
BEA- the female counterpart to her husband Frank.
RICHY- the son of Frank and Bea (requires a “younger actor”)
JOAN- Richy’s overly romantic wife (requires a “younger actress”)
So, as you can see there are a wide variety of roles available. Don’t be intimidated. Trish will help you. This is a great opportunity to try something new. Mark your calendars. Pre-Audition questions/answer session: November 21 6:30-8:00 pm in Activity room A
Auditions: December 7 & 8 from 1-4 pm in Card room C.
Hope to see you there!
