As Robert Frost put it, “the best way out is always through”. And as John Green wrote in The Anthropocene Reviewed, “And the only good way through is together. Even when circumstances separate us – in fact, especially when they do – the way through is together.”
So whatever place you may find yourself in or whatever struggle you are encountering, these questions can be a transformative way through together.
Wherever you find yourself, these questions are designed to help you uncover, recover, and discover more of who you truly are.

THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer & Henry Shields
Directed by: Frank Squillo
From Mischief, Broadway masters of comedy, comes the smash hit farce.
Welcome to opening night of the Cornley University Drama Society’s newest production, The Murder at Haversham Manor, where things are quickly going from bad to utterly disastrous.
This 1920s whodunit has everything you never wanted in a show—an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that can’t play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines).
Nevertheless, the accident-prone thespians battle against all odds to make it through to their final curtain call, with hilarious consequences!
Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, this Olivier Award-winning comedy is a global phenomenon guaranteed to leave you aching with laughter!
Apologies for the incorrect time on the previous announcement.

The episode opens with Victoria, Ruby, and Shirley, now in possession of the suppressed investigative report. Victoria, ever the diligent journalist, begins the careful process of disseminating the information. She opts for a measured approach, posting excerpts on the community Facebook page and North Coast BBQ bulletin board using generic language to describe the various disputes and accusations detailed in the report. Her posts reveal the city manager’s frequent clashes with the former mayor and other city employees, attributed to a problematic anger management issue.
As Victoria’s revelations ripple through Manzanita, the council is forced to confront the fallout. It is disclosed that the councilors, led by Councilor Jed, had hired a management consultant and psychologist to address the city manager’s temperament issues. These consulting expenditures, hidden from public view, had significantly contributed to the legal and investigative costs that the report included.
Victoria’s commentary strikes a chord with the community. She points out that much of the fervor surrounding the city manager’s actions could have been mitigated had the council been more transparent about the report’s findings. Unfortunately, Councilor Jed, who had spearheaded the decision to hire the city manager, found himself unable to admit to these failings publicly. The city manager did nothing to dissuade the councilor to protect his own image. The threat of further legal action by the manager was always an unspoken intimidating possibility.
The suppressed report becomes a pivotal issue in the next election cycle. Feeling the weight of public scrutiny and loss of influence, Councilor Jed opts for retirement, stepping away from the limelight and the controversies that marred his final days in office. Councilor Bart, too, decides not to run for re-election, recognizing that without Jed, his power and influence have waned.
These actions identified a weakness in the city charter during this interim period when there were no elected representatives on council, only appointed members.
The elections usher in a new era for Manzanita. The newly elected council pledges greater transparency and a commitment to prioritize the citizens’ interests over their own. This shift in governance leads to the eventual departure of the city manager, who resigns after realizing the loss of his main supporter, Jed. Armed with the council’s best departure wishes and severance package, the manager opted to open a less stressful retail florist shop. His successor is noted for a more even temperament, promising a smoother interaction with both the council and the community.
As Manzanita turns the page on this tumultuous chapter, life begins to settle into a new normal. Ruby returns to her duties at The Cove, her ear always tuned to the undercurrents of comments by the city’s power structure. Shirley, finding peace away from the stresses of city hall, secures a happier, less stressful job elsewhere. Victoria, recognized for her courageous journalism, is honored with a state independent journalism award, cementing her role as a pivotal figure in bringing truth to light.
Episode 10, “Afterword,” not only provides closure to the conflicts that have rocked Manzanita but also sets a hopeful tone for the future. As the daily cycle of the tides continues, the town looks forward to a period of stability and renewed trust in its leaders. One chapter closes, and another begins, with the citizens of Manzanita ready to face whatever challenges and changes come their way. Stay tuned for the next season of the North Coast’s favorite soap opera, The Tides of Manzanita.

Monday, May 13, 2-4 pm join us for a presentation by Kathie Hightower, on Awe/Delight/Joy: Why it’s SO important, and ways to add them in to your daily life. Sociologists, psychologists, and neuroscientists have done extensive research studies on Awe and Joy. Join us to learn why these topics matter to you, especially as we age, and learn simple exercises to add more of these into your own daily life. Let’s choose the antidote to the current negative news spiral. Choose Joy. Here’s how.
Kathie dove into this subject many years ago and in fact published a small book on Simple Joys. She returned to study current research to prepare this presentation for you. Kathie spent many years doing keynotes and workshops on topics like Jump Into Life, and Joyful Living. This is a mini-presentation.
Bring a pen and a book or magazine to write on…we’ll have handouts ready for you to fill in.
