Tickets, priced $17 - $59, are on sale online at moonlightstage.com or by phone at (760) 724-2110. Due to high ticket demand, The Moonlight has added two additional performances of the show for Tues., July 27 and Tues., August 3 at 8 p.m. Tickets for these added shows go on sale at noon on Thurs., July 8. This enchanting musical experience hasn’t been produced by Moonlight Stage Productions since 2005 and Producing Artistic Director Steven Glaudini has engaged Jamie Torcellini to direct and Bill Burns to choreograph. Both have deep professional ties to this Disney classic: Mr. Torcellini appeared in the original Los Angeles production and would continue with the show to Broadway playing LeFou. Mr. Burns also appeared in the original LA production and would take the show to Broadway where he supervised the production going on to direct and choreograph numerous regional productions. Rounding out the artistic team are award-winning Music Director and Conductor Elan McMahan, returning for her 57th production and Assistant Music Director Devon Hunt. Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” features the Academy Award®-winning score with music by Alan Menken and lyrics by the late Howard Ashman, with additional songs composed by Alan Menken and lyrics by Tim Rice. The book is written by Linda Woolverton. Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” is the classic story of Belle, a young woman in a provincial town, and the Beast, who is really a young prince trapped in a spell placed by an enchantress. If the Beast can learn to love and be loved, the curse will end, and he will be transformed to his former self. But time is running out. If the Beast does not learn his lesson soon, he and his household will be doomed for all eternity. Based on the 1991 Academy Award®-winning animated feature film and celebrating 20 years since its Broadway premiere in 1994, Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” has become an international sensation that has been seen by over 35 million people worldwide in 22 countries and has been translated into 9 different languages.

Hours after getting the initial call June 26 about a disturbance at a residence on H.A. Varnum Road, deputies caught up with Randall Pitts on Boneyard Road off CR 69, just inside Jackson County. He was sitting in the driver’s seat of his black Pontiac Sunfire, which was parked in the middle of the road. When a deputy, using a loud speaker, urged him to resolve the situation without anyone being hurt, Pitts replied: “Just let me die in peace.” Moments later, Pitts sped off, going eastbound on Boneyard Road. After driving about a mile, he came to a roadblock set up by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. Pitts stopped in the middle of the road. Deputies drew their guns and took cover. RANDALL PITTS Pitts ignored deputies as they repeatedly attempted to talk him into peacefully resolving the standoff.

  • April, 1972 a Message from the Chairman, Title Insurance and Underwriters Section
    April, 1972 A Message from the Chairman, Title Insurance and Underwriters Section APRIL, 1972 The recent Mid-Winter Conference of the Association generated the largest registration of all mid­ year meetings to date. Obviously, many factors contributed to this manifestation of interest and de­ sire for participation in the affair of our Association, including the attractiveness of a dynamic eco­ nomic and cultural center such as the beautiful city of Atlanta. However, I rather suspect that the greatest motivating force that served to stimulate this mass migration of title men and women to Atlanta was their sincere concern over the unprecedented and undeserved attacks recently directed against our industry from the Capitol Hill scene, and their firm resolve to unite in its support and defense. Those of us who are cognizant of the substantive and meaningful contributions made by our in­ dustry to the general economic progress of this nation; who understand the complexities involved in the ownership, transfer and financing of interests in real estate and the consequent need for the precise and invaluable services and assurances afforded through our industry endeavors; and who are acquainted with the dedication and professional integrity that characterize the overwhelming majority of our individual members, should not hesitate to make our beliefs known and our voices heard. The current national interest in consumerism is sound and logical and is certainly compatible with the precepts and principles that have historically undergirded our industry. As a result, our past has been noteworthy with achievement, and our future is filled with countless opportunities for profitable growth and development.

The awards honor classic shows and performers. From left: Charlene Tilton, Linda Gray, Larry Hagman, Patrick Duffy, Sheree Wilson, Mary Crosby, Susan Howard, Ken Kercheval and Steve Kanaly. STEVE EMBER: Welcome to THE MAKING OF A NATION -- American history in VOA Special English. I'm Steve Ember. This week in our series, we look back at some of the social issues and cultural changes in America in the nineteen seventies and eighties. (MUSIC) In some ways, the nineteen eighties seemed like the opposite of the nineteen sixties. The sixties were years of protest for social justice and change. Many Americans demonstrated against the Vietnam War. Blacks demonstrated for civil rights. Women demonstrated for equality. Many people welcomed new social programs created by the government. By the nineteen eighties, however, many people seemed more concerned with themselves than with helping society. To them, success was measured mainly by how much money a person made. People wanted to live the good life, and that took money. 2 The changes started to become evident during the nineteen seventies. For a while, these years brought a continuation of the social experiments and struggles of the sixties. But then people began to see signs of what society would be like in the eighties. There were a number of reasons for this change. One reason was the end to America's military involvement in Vietnam after years of war.
