2017 | 2018 SEASON Unforgettable characters. Extraordinary stories. Since 1947. A CHRISTMAS STORY, 2014 THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, 2014 Honoring our 70 year history as San Luis Obispo Little Theatre while building our future as San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre, a professional, nonprofit, regional theatre. Repertory (re-pə(r)-ˌtȯr-ē) 1. a company that performs different plays in the course of a season 2. a theatre in which such a company performs 3. the production and presentation of plays by a repertory company BYE BYE BIRDIE, 2016 THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, 2016 A New Name for Live Theatre This organization was created in the summer of 1947 by a small group of people who wanted to “put on a show.” These 10-15 theatre-lovers, swept up in the last wave of the larger Little Theatre movement across the country, recognized the need for an organized drama troupe in San Luis Obispo. Late in 1947, they decided on the name San Luis Obispo Little Theatre and began rehearsal for their first production – Noel Coward’s Blithe Spirit – which opened at the San Luis Obispo High School Auditorium in early 1948. Since that first show, the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre has produced a full season of plays each year, every year, in 27 different locations around the county. We have had an incredible history as a nonprofit community theatre: 70 years, over 900 plays, hundreds of board members, thousands of volunteers. Now it is time for us to officially become the premier live theatre in San Luis Obispo, and continue the growth we have experienced for the last 5, the last 30, the last 70 years. -

Peanuts Paint by Numbers Full-Color Sunday Comics Have Been a Long Tradition in Newspapers
Peanuts Paint By Numbers Full-color Sunday comics have been a long tradition in newspapers. Sundays were reserved for big, multi-panel comic strips printed in bright colors and featured in their own section known as the Sunday Funnies. Though Charles M. Schulz always drew his comics in black and white, he did have a hand in choosing the colors for his Sunday strips. Schulz sent his completed black-and-white Sunday strips to a local printing company to have a negative made. From the negative, a reproduction of the strip was made in a smaller size than the original. Schulz would hand-color this copy and have his secretary number the colors using a color chart, as shown in the example below. The newspaper syndicates used this numbering system to identify the correct color dye for the printing plates for the Sunday Funnies. Eventually, Schulz’s secretary took over the entire coloring and numbering process under his supervision. Top: an original color-coded Sunday reproduction from the Schulz Museum’s collection. Right: the full-color Sunday strip first published on June 13, 1965. Left: An example of a newspaper color chart. 1 Now it’s your turn! Look at the black-and-white Sunday comic strip below and use the numbers on the corresponding color chart to determine the correct color for each item. Color the comic strip and share it with us online @schulzmuseum or #schulzmuseum. This strip was first published on October 28, 1973.

Maple Syrup: a Sweet Sign of Early Spring by Paula Mchugh
THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 21, Number 8 Thursday, March 3, 2005 Maple Syrup: A Sweet Sign of Early Spring by Paula McHugh Maple sugaring time is when daytime temperatures rise above the 32 degree freezing mark, and then drop again below freezing during the nighttime. Which means that we are now heading into that time of year in early, early spring when the sap starts flowing. Hurray! Hurray for two reasons: who doesn’t look forward to the promise of warmer days ahead, and who doesn’t appreciate the sweetness of pure maple syrup dribbled over a stack of pancakes? Yet, how many of us are aware that we could be tapping our own maple trees about now–if we are fortunate enough to have maples on our property? A recent program about everything you ever wanted to know about maple sugar farming was recently presented at the Deep River County Park Visitor Center by Historic Programs Coordinator Joanna Shearer, and the Beacher was there to learn and pass on a few tips for maple sugaring wannabes. Let’s get the trivia out of the way and tell you right now that Vermont is NOT the number one state for maple sugar pro- duction. New York claims that title. But here in the Midwest, Michigan ranks high as a maple syrup producer. Parke County Indiana, home of the most covered bridges, is a large syrup-producing area. And locally, Deep River Park produced nearly 500 bottles of the sweet syrup last year. -
