Director James Fisher is looking to cast four women and two men for Sean Grennan’s comedy/drama which weaves comedy, truthfulness and pathos into a moving theatrical experience based on a true story. Performance dates are Thursday-Saturday, February 13-15 and Thursday-Sunday, February 20-23.
The story: Instead of relishing life after her heart transplant, Joy enters a downward spiral, unsure whether she truly deserves a second chance. Meanwhile, Alice and Hank mourn the loss of their son, Jack, whose heart was used to save Joy. At a friend’s urging, Joy tracks down Jack’s family to find closure. But are Alice, Hank, and their daughter Sammy ready to accept Jack’s death? When they meet with Joy, the awkwardness becomes funny and heartfelt. All the players come to terms with what it really means to truly give one’s heart. This work honestly demonstrates the power of the human spirit to manifest hope.
The roles: JOY – mid-late 20s to late 30s. A freelance graphic artist, Joy has received a life-saving heart transplant, but is now conflicted about what to do next. She is smart, sometimes acerbic, attractive, but rudderless with her new lease on life.
HANK – early 60s. He is nearing retirement as head of a small building supply company. Husband to Alice and father to Sammy and now-deceased heart donor, Jack. Hank is trying hard not to wallow in or even barely acknowledge his grief and guilt. He can be snappish and abrupt, and while he is drinking more than he should, he believes he’s handling things just fine.
JACK – An accountant with aspirations of being a professional photographer, he dresses fashionably – hipster- ish. Jack is dead at the outset but nonetheless appears throughout the show, not exactly as a ghost, but more as a memory that lingers.
ALICE – early 60s. Mother of Sammy and the deceased Jack, she is a solid, loving, enduring presence. She knows her husband and is aware of what he’s going through. She accepts his scorn until she doesn’t anymore. She has a big heart that is dealing with its own pain as she tries to hold the family together and do the right thing.
SAMMY – 20s-60s. A pre-school teacher and Jack’s younger sister, she’s somewhat “new-age” but with an enormous heart and wants to help in any way she can. She writes a blog, in which she might over-share her life, to Hank’s consternation. She gives in too easily to her emotions, but of everyone, she is most in touch with them.
NURSE/DARLA – 30s – 60s. Nurse is competent if a bit annoying in her approach, “by-the-book” in all things and can sometimes be condescending because she’s so busy. She’s a positive person with a small religious streak. Darla is somewhat flamboyant, artsy and very caring for Joy. A singular soul in habit and dress, she worries about and wants the best for her friend.
The show’s sponsor is Warren Jackson, CPA, PLLC. Dennis Loy is producing.

07 Why Does It Feel Cold? Have you noticed you’re grabbing for that sweater or a blanket more often? Are you feeling chilly at the gym, too? It happens about this time every year, but did you ever wonder why? Radiant heat is the culprit. It’s not colder water or colder air temperatures you’re feeling, but your own skin temperature that’s cooling off. We all know cold things get warmer, but where do they steal that warmth from? It’s from us! When its chilly outside, the walls and windows of our buildings get cooler, too. The HVA system is keeping the air temperatures between degrees, so we become the warmest thing in the room. That warmth leaves your skin searching for cooler things and making you feel cold even when the air or water temperature is the same as it was in August.

13 Pets of the Week:
Sugar and Spice were picked up as strays in Sweetwater and have not been claimed by anyone. Since they are almost identical, we are assuming they are sisters who are about 10 months old. Each has a sweet puppy personality and would need a place to run and play. They love to play together but can be separated. Given that they are still puppies, some training would be needed but we feel either or both girls would fit nicely into a home with children.
The Monroe County Animal Shelter is located at 170 Kefauver Lane in Madisonville (behind Wal-Mart) and is open Tuesday – Friday from 11 – 4:30 and Saturdays from 11 – 2.
