DATING FIASCO: SWEET REVENGE

OCTOBER 22 @ 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM

Cindy Pesek wrote and directs this “wannabe love story” with a cast of “Border Troubadours” (cast names coming soon).

JoAnn and Noreen, long time divorcees, need a fresh start. What better idea than to go on a dating website to find a “More Than Mr. Right?” Romance turns tragic but friendship with a good dose of humor saves the day! Sweet Revenge is a hilarious adventure, a rom-com musical for today’s world.”

Singing, dancing and – fun! What more could you want on a Saturday in October?

The Border Troubadours are performing this show as a benefit for the Three Lakes Center for the Arts. Many, many thanks to them!

Border Troubadours is a volunteer based theater troupe which celebrates the arts, connects people and supports the community by offering free access to local theatrical productions.

The Club meets the 2^nd Wednesday of each month from 6-8pm at the Warehouse Community Arts Center in Eagle River where they feature a photographer who shares their images and skills with the rest of the group. They also conduct club photo excursions- where members join together to do photography in a specific situation- i.e. waterfall, astrophotography.

Club members show their work in numerous galleries throughout the area and enter competitions around the country. www.northwoodsphotoclub.com | Facebook: The Warehouse Photo Club. The Club Club meetings and presentations are open to the public.

Their Facebook Page - Lakeland Area Photographic Club, has basic information on the Club plus a Group Page - LAPC Group, where members can post their photos. The Club shows their work at the Minocqua Public Library and at Great Northern Coffee Traders in downtown Minocqua. Members attend various photography outings throughout the year to hone their skills and learn new skills. The Club meets on the 3rd Wednesday of each month, usually at the Minocqua Public Library. Anyone interested in photography is welcome.

Featured Artist

Scott Pearson, resident of Eagle River, is a member of the Northwoods Photo Club. He recently joined the group and conducted a detailed astrophotography presentation- highlighting his extraordinary aurora and milky way images- as well as giving guidance to the group re: what techniques they would need to learn in order to jump into Astro-photography. With Scott’s help, the Club will be conducting an Astro photography workshop in the dark skies of Star Lake, Wi later this month.

Scott Pearson is a Forrester and self-taught photographer that is absolutely passionate about his art.

“My photography focuses mainly on the Great Lakes regions of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the UP of Michigan, and will expand as I photograph other areas of the country. I currently live in northern Wisconsin and enjoy the incredible beauty, both natural and man-made, that is found throughout the Northwoods. I've spent the majority of my life near Lake Superior and my appreciation for what is found here continues to grow. From the Aurora Borealis to the great ore carriers that navigate her waters, Gichigami offers endless photographic opportunities. I'm a self-taught photographer and continue to improve my work primarily through reading and making more photographs.”

Both Clubs are looking forward to presenting together on this exciting exhibition. The Three Lakes Center for the Arts will host a reception open to the public on Friday, September 2 from 5-7. Refreshments and light appetizers will be served.

Artist Reception Friday, September, 2nd
