“The Foursome” at Newport Playhouse & Cabaret

Written by Norm Foster
Directed by Daniel Lee White

Rick, Ted, Donnie, and Cameron

are home for their fifteenth college reunion. During the weekend, the men go out for a game of golf, and it is during this game that the four get caught up on each other’s lives since their college days. The play is set on the eighteen tees of The Windemere Golf and Country Club.
“The laughter was immediate, uncontrollable, constant and helpless.”

At Newport’s only Dinner Theater enjoy their  great home-style buffet,  a wonderful play in their intimate theater and a fun-filled cabaret in the dining room.

Buffet 11:30 am…Curtain 1:00 pm.  Cabaret always follows the play.

8 Week Creative Drawing Class

On Tuesday, March 1st at 10:00am, we will begin an 8 Week Creative Drawing Class taught by Sharon Schmiedel. ~Sharon has a BFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art and spent many years working in technical illustration, medical illustration, and graphic design. Now she is spending much of her time painting and entering numerous juried shows. She enjoys teaching and sharing her knowledge of art with others. ~Students who didn’t take the first session but have some drawing experience are also welcome. In this class you will continue to learn to see as an artist does. Learning to draw is a process; letting go and trusting the process can be liberating and bring out your creativity. There will be demos and guidance with drawing exercises that will build on what you’ve previously learned. Direction will be offered, but students will be encouraged to experiment and develop their own style. ~You will need to bring a sketchpad, pencils, vine or willow charcoal, and an eraser to the first class. ~Space is limited so register today. ~The class will cost $32.00 and is due at the first class. ~This class is open to all members. Call (860)434-1605 ext. 240 to sign up.
