  • The Fantasticks Welcome New Staff!
    The A Weekly Look at the Chronicle Cottey College Campus volume XXVIII, number 19, January 24, 2014 he antasticks T F Friday, January 31 8:00 p.m. Center for the Arts, Auditorium The Fantasticks is the world’s longest-running stage production of any kind, and with good reason: it is a timeless fable of love that manages to be nostalgic and universal at the same time. It is a moving tale of young lovers who become disillusioned, only to discover a more mature, meaningful love. This production will be performed as a Steampunk version. Steampunk is a genre which came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporates elements of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction. This production is being presented by the Nebraska Theatre Caravan. Welcome New Staff! Cottey is excited to welcome two new staff members to our Athletic Staff! MaKayla Grahn will serve as our new assistant basketball coach and athletic recruitment coordinator for our two new programs. Grahn had a very successful collegiate basketball career, playing at Howard Junior College, Cisco Junior College, and Rockhurst University. She earned an A.A. in education from Cisco Junior College, and her B.A. in history with a minor in theology from Rockhurst University. MaKayla hails from Lovelady, Texas, where she played for her most demanding coach, her father, who is a very successful high school basketball coach! Samantha Robertson will serve as our assistant softball coach. Robertson has previously served as our very dedicated volunteer softball coach since 2012. Sami Jo earned her A.A.
