The Lofte
Production dates for “Christmas at Leon’s: are Dec 3-5, 10-12, and 16-19. The theater is located near Manley, Nebraska near the intersection of Hwy 50 and Hwy 1.
“Unnecessary Farce” Is a Necessary Experience
Written in 2002, the script is modern and very witty. The story takes place in two adjoining hotel rooms. In one room, two rookie cops prepare to bust their town’s mayor for embezzlement. With the help of a love-starved woman accountant and a video camera, they set-up a sting in the adjoining room. However, their simple plan soon goes haywire. The accountant keeps taking off her clothes. The mayor’s security guard is overly protective. A mysterious Scottish hitman appears, but is brogue is so thick no one can understand his instructions.
The production is directed by Kevin Colbert of Weeping Water. The colorful ensemble cast includes Kyle Lorenz of Lincoln, Anne Pope of Eagle, Anna Strobel and Ken Patry of Omaha, Kevin and Dawn Holdorf of Manley and Joshua Smith of La Vista.
Performance dates are October 15-17, 22-24 and 28-31. Curtain times are 7:30pm on Thursday-Saturday and 2pm matinees on Sundays. General admission tickets are $16. Reservations can be made by calling the Lofte ticket office at (402) 234-2553.
The Lofte is located near the intersection of Hwy 1 and Hwy 50 near the town of Manley. For driving directions and more information about the theater, please visit their website, www.Lofte.com.

A SHORT STORY
I watched a Sunday night football game recently between the Chicago Bears and the New York Giants. On that particular game day, the NFL participated in a breast cancer awareness promotion. Since hot pink is the color of this emphasis, the players wore hot pink chin straps, towels, and their gloves had hot pink stripes on them.
Now these hot pink stripes drew more than usual attention to the players’ hands—what they did with them and how they used them. The NBC announcer Chris Collinsworth commented on a holding call on a receiver, saying something like, “Now I’m all for the reason why the players are wearing pink, but it sure does draw a lot of attention to what they do with their hands.”
In other words, normally a wide receiver can hold and it’s harder to see it than it is when he’s wearing hot pink striped gloves.
We reveal our true values by what we do when we think no one is looking…or can see our actions very well.
Make a positive life today regardless of who’s watching.
