HAPPY THANKSGIVING...
As our long autumn turns into cold winter, thoughts tend to go to all that we have to be thankful for. Before breaking off a drumstick or taking a piece of pumpkin pie - stop. Go around the table and ask each person to say at least three things they're thankful for. I'll bet they say many more than that. I know I will.
I hope you have someone to share your Thanksgiving dinner with...

World Premiere in Manley, Nebraska!
The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley is bringing a world premiere to the stage. Opening on
December 3, "Christmas at Leon's" tells the tale of a bus full of holiday travelers who get stranded at a roadside diner during a blizzard. As we are introduced to the passengers, we discover that each one has a flaw or personal drama affecting his or her life. Everyone is able to find shelter and spiritual comfort at the diner owned by an odd little man named Leon.
The story and original musical score were both written by Mick Kovar of Lincoln. Mr. Kovar is a
long-time friend of the Lofte having served on its board of directors and starred in several of its
productions over the years. Lofte Artistic Director, Kevin Colbert is directing the show. Colbert
and Kovar are old friends and have enjoyed working with each other on "Leon's."
Starring in the title role as the curmudgeon, Leon is Larry Bauers of Louisville. His three angelic
waitresses are played by Renee Kovar of Lincoln, Lindsey Micks of Bellevue and Samantha Colbert of Weeping Water. Other players in the show include Bob Pinkerton of Weeping Water; Jamion Biesterfeld and Anne Riha of Louisville; Scott Pope of Eagle; Cynthia West Sheldon of Elmwood; Adam, Mick and Meagan Kovar and Brittney Ernesti all of Lincoln; Tom Lucas of Papillion, Virginia Howe Kincaid of Elkhorn and Jason France of Plattsmouth.
"Christmas at Leon's" will run December 3-5, 10-12 & 16-19.
Showtimes are Thursday through
Saturday at 7:30pm. Sundays are 2pm matinees.
Tickets are $16. The box office is open Monday through Friday 8am-12pm.
Call (402)234-2553 or www.Lofte.com
The Lofte is also doing a fundraiser in coordination with this event. Ticket holders can come to the
Lofte 90 minutes prior to curtain to eat at Leon's Diner. A home-cooked meal of meatloaf or hot turkey sandwiches will be served right on stage as the cast entertains and helps to serve the food.
Tickets for the meal are priced separately at $25/plate. $15 of the meal ticket is tax deductible. Advance reservations for the Diner Experience are required.
The Lofte is located near the intersection of Highway 50 and Highway 1 just east of the village of Manley.
Larry Bauers of Louisville is surrounded by his trio of angelic waitresses;
Lindsey Micks, Samantha Colbert and Renee Kovar.
