Cover article Remembering Rosie Get yourself “in the mood” for the April show! Doug Brown, Resident Editor he legendary Rosie the Riveter is com- ing soon to a Ballroom near you! Don’t Tmiss your chance to come to Remem- bering Rosie, the Tap Company’s 2014 singing/dancing extrava- ganza, April 3-4-5, celebrating the women who worked to support the World War II effort. Rosie, of course, was the celebrated “riveter” representing the many women who helped to manufacture ships and airplanes in World War II. The April show will feature Rosie and her four “Ro- settes,” along with 65 other factory workers (women and men), soldiers, and sailors who will be singing and dancing throughout the show. They will delight you as they recreate the magnificent sounds of the Big Band era, along with those wonderful, tear-jerking favorites from the 1940s, “I’ll Be Seeing You,” “I’ll Get By,” “He Wears a Pair of Silver Wings,” “Sentimental Journey,” and “It’s Been a Long, Long Time.” The light-hearted production, written and directed by Peggy & Paul Schechter, who brought you last year’s hit Presenting Simply Broadway, dramatizes the chal- lenges women had to overcome when entering a man’s world. The story features five night club dancers who join the ranks of women workers in a WWII aircraft factory, all the while wondering about the fate of the men who were away fight- ing the war. Also featured in the show are an amazing variety of performances. Some of them combine our tap and swing dancers. Others showcase men’s ensembles singing and dancing to songs like “What Do You Do in the Infantry.” And what would the music of this era be without the Landers Sisters trio singing toe-tapping “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy,” “In the Mood,” and “Don’t Sit under the Apple Tree” while our exciting tap dancers delight you. And you’ll be sure to be blown away by the show’s stirring patriotic finale! Remembering Rosie will honor the Wounded Warrior Project along with women in our own community who worked in support of the war effort during World War II. Some of our own “Rosies” may be in attendance!

Tickets for all four shows are on sale and going fast. Evening performances on April 3, 4, and 5 are at 7:00 PM, with a matinée show on April 5 at 2:00 PM.

The tax law has certain require- ments and tax breaks that apply just to senior taxpayers. Being familiar with these rules could cut your taxes or prevent tax penalties. These rules include: • A higher standard deduction at age 65 • A requirement to take out a certain portion of your retirement holdings every year once you reach age 70½, or face a 50% penalty • A requirement to make quarterly tax estimates once tax withholding from wages ends (at certain income levels) For details and other tax-cutting assistance, contact: Carolyn J.
