Reminder for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time, August 10, 2025

Wisdom 18: The night of the passover was known beforehand to our fathers,  that, with sure knowledge of the oaths in which they put their faith,  they might have courage.

Hebrews 11:  Brothers and sisters: Faith is the realization of what is hoped for and evidence of things not seen. Because of it the ancients were well attested.


                              Crepe Myrtle 3

                                                                   

To love someone is to double all our joys and divide all our disappointments. To be loved is to increase our courage and decrease our fears.

The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

    Opening night performance was hilarious. The energy and enthusiasm was
    phenomenal. Great entertainment for a summer evening.

    To the Cast and Crew of Noises Off,
    I just wanted to take a moment and congratulate you all on a wonderful
    production. We were able to attend the opening night performance and can not
    tell you how much we loved the entire show. The comedy came in many forms
    and was constant throughout all three acts. I honestly can not even imagine
    how exhausted you all must be after each performance! In the three years
    that Teatro delle Muse has been the resident company of the ArtCentre
    Theatre I can't remember a production that generated so many belly laughs
    from the audience. I sat in the back row (as is a habit of mine, I enjoy
    watching the audience, reviewers and tech crew as much as I do the show) and
    never saw a moment of restlessness, nor watch checks or snoring from
    audience members. That is amazing! Be very proud of the work you have done.
    I am proud to know this show is a part of our theatre. Jamey, I can't wait
    to see your next production with TDM, wait productions. there's Grease,
    Rocky Horror Picture Show, A Christmas Show and of course Evening Star
    Rising. We are so glad to have you as a part of our company and we hope that
    you bring all the talent from Noises Off with you to other shows!

    Death can come at any minute, in any way.
