The comedy “Dearly Departed,” which was supposed to grace the stage last March, and then perhaps in Octo- ber, is happening at the Chapman Audi- torium Feb. 5 to 7. It will be the same show as what was planned for a year ago, and hopefully the same laughs, but that’s pretty much the only thing that will be the same, Seating is limited, masks are re- quired, protocols are in place, temper- ature will be taken. And the show will go on. “We just feel right now people need an escape, something they can get in- volved in onstage, watching something else besides their TV and get involved in live theatre,” said Port St. Joe resident Renee Valentine, who chairs the board that governs the non-profit community theatre group that operates out of the auditorium in the century-old Chapman School in the heart of Apalachicola.

The focus of plaintiff’s complaint is upon a number of events spanning a period of more than eight years and involving both state and local government employees. Fowlkes attributes defendants’ conduct toward him to his race, his membership in a group claimed by him to be religious in nature but regarded by law enforcement officials as a gang, and retaliatory animus based upon his commencement of a civil rights action against the Superintendent of the Rensselaer Correctional Facility and various other local government employees.

In the past, Petrified Springs Golf Course was booked solid on Sundays until about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. The last two Sundays, there were openings before noon.
