PEP MUSICAL REVIEW

Auditions
PEP, thanks to an Operation Unite grant, will be producing a musical review late this Spring or early this Summer (depending on the cast).
A musical review, for those who haven't spent most of their adult life (like me) involved in the performing arts, is a group of songs put together around a common theme: Examples of themes are: Frank Sinatra, Love Songs of Broadway, Country Roads.

These are easier than plays or musicals for many because people are singing songs they already know and tyeing it all together doesn't require a lot of lines. Depending on the cast, there might also be group numbers added to spark things up.

Join the fun. This is open to all ages because it's all about learning something, entertaining others and having fun.

Auditioning is easy. Sing Acappella (no instrument accomaniment). Sing with an instrument. Sing to a CD/Tape.

Call PEP at 606-464-0494 and ask for Chuck to make an appointment to audition. Auditions are from Monday, 27 April to Thursday, 29 April.

Make Tax Day 2009 Brighter

What is Recyclable Art????? Well, in this instance, it's bits and pieces of pages cut out of old magazines and glued on to a piece of cardboard or foam board. Instead of using paint to apply color to your picture, you find the color in a magazine, cut it out and glue it on. There's a completely different texture and brilliance to the art work.

And the added benefit of doing Recyclable Art is that it cuts down on paper going into the dump. And this might only be the beginning. This could be the pathway art form that leads to welding cars together or building houses out of aluminum cans. The possibilities are endless.

Join Cheryle Walton every Wednesday starting at 5 PM in the PEP building to explore the possibilities. It will be fun.

FASHION SHOW

DON'T FORGET! The PEP Fashion/ Art Show is at Pine Crest Camp (6 Miles West of Beattyville, on Hwy 52, turn right on to and go to the end of Pine Crest Camp Road. Just past Beartrack Park). It starts at 2 PM Saturday April 11.

Youth Haven is sponsering a Volleyball League Sundays from 1-3.

PEP is sponsoring a Youth Soccer League Saturdays from 10-12.

Lee County Recreational Center has a Bowling League on Thursdays and open lanes at all other times.

Lee County Youth Sports is winding up Little League and Pee Wee Basketball and starting their Baseball and Softball Leagues in May.

There's alway fishing, hiking, and boating to do in the area as well. Numerous organizations are always putting the word out to attract more participants. You don't have to be the best on the field or court to enjoy playing sports. It's all about challenging yourself, getting a little exercise, and having fun.
