IT'S ONLY A PLAY By Terrance McNally
Limelight Actors Theater
(Adult Comedy. Some language). Our annual fundraiser for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. Limelight partners with Steve Spencer and Kae Jenny-Spencer for the 8th year in a row. Door prizes and special surprises abound, in addition to a wonderful show for the holidays! In this comedy with a heart, Mom can't stop trying to fix things in her family. Even though she has been dead for 11 months. She shows up at her husband’s birthday party as a ghost with a mission and, like Clarence in It’s A Wonderful Life, she has to accomplish a task to earn her wings. Only what the task actually is, is a mystery. There are so many things to fix. The problem is complicated by the fact that the only person who can hear or see Mom is her daughter who has been ordered by the court to spend Dad’s birthday with him as part of her Anger Management Program. One by one the family's secrets are peeled away revealing a shocking truth that surprises even our ghost. The perfect "feel good" comedy to start your holidays off! It's "Topper" meets "It's A Wonderful Life." Directed by Kevin Heath. Starring Christy Wait, Bill Tindall, Denee Lewis, Angie Higgins*, Myra Kaelin*, and Tom Shamrell* (*making their Limelight debut).

Domestic Abuse Support Group
YWCAMC Resource Center
Location: 114 Church Street, Salinas, CA 93901
Domestic abuse is severely misunderstood in our culture. This fact makes finding support difficult. If you join this group, you will find a physically, mentally, and emotionally safe place to share your experiences and to process how your past or current abuse is affecting your life. To honor where you are in the healing process, you will never be required to share. The group members with help each other to regain their confidence and self-worth, and hopefully help each other learn how to take the next steps to put an end to the violent situation that they may find themselves in.
To register for group, call or email Rhonda Burchett at 831-422-8602 or
rburchett@ywcamc.org. Preregistration is not required, but encouraged. Support group is free and confidential.
Email your community events at least two weeks in advance to: KCBACalendar@entravision.com
