Picnic at Potowatomi

Then all the people went away to eat and drink, to send portions of food and to celebrate with great joy, because they now understood the words that had been made known to them.

2 Great Shows This weekend!

Kelly Geisel is starrring in a new show this weekend at St. Mary's. Dalene and I will be going Friday night and hope to see some of you there!

The Acting Ensemble Stage Company presents its production of "The Tiernan Affair," a series of true events of sin and scandal in a jazz age American city…South Bend, Indiana.

Set in the 1920’s, against the familiar backdrop of downtown South Bend, The Oliver Mansion (now Copshaholm), and The University of Notre Dame, "The Tiernan Affair" looks at a Notre Dame law professor and his family torn by scandal, ripped apart by reporters, and examined in minute detail, as has become familiar fodder on the evening news and across the internet today. For months, from New York to Los Angeles, the country focused on a paternity scandal in South Bend, Indiana that set precedents in the legal world, as well as on the public eye.

Often comedic, this is a thought-provoking, dynamic, intriguing and ultimately thoroughly entertaining look at South Bend life in the not-so-distant past…Truth IS stranger than fiction!

Another awesome weekend!

What a great weekend! We had a huge choir of people who joined in a song to remind us that love will hold us together. And downstairs, the hilarity and fun was endless as the Heir Force room was blessed with good comedy when Billie, Jacob, Leslie and Braden (directed by Dalene)took the stage. This was Braden's first serve other than Christmas Eve and he was hilarious. Obviously comedic genius runs in the Burget family! Hope to see you all at the meeting this Thursday!
