Director Shannon Sable has announced the cast of Company, the fifth and final MainStage production in the 2012-13 season. Sable and Music Director, Gail Deagan, have assembled a cast of Civic veterans and newcomers for this groundbreaking Stephen Sondheim classic.

Sondheim collaborated with George Furth (book) and Harold Prince (director) to create Company, the first of the Sondheim/Prince shows that were to lay the foundation for the post-Golden Age Broadway musicals. Company was the first non-linear, “concept,” musical.

Set firmly in, and often about, New York, Company follows five married, once married, or soon to be married couples and their mutual friend, Robert, a 35 year old bachelor who has been unable to connect in a long-term relationship. The relationships are presented in a series of vignettes, primarily through Bobby’s eyes, so that we see the less than ideal aspects of commitment. However, it is obvious to the audience that the committed are happy. Eventually, Bobby learns that while relationships aren’t perfect, they are a necessary part of “Being Alive.” Company Includes the songs “Getting Married Today,” “The Ladies Who Lunch,” and “Being Alive.”

Almost Home Humane Society will be joining forces with other local shelters and rescue groups to participate in Dog Park Association of Greater Lafayette’s “Dog Park Free Play Day.” On Saturday, April 20 visitors are encouraged to bring their dogs out from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to play in the fenced-in, 4.5 acre Shamrock DogPark. This is the perfect opportunity to check out the Dog Park and visit with lots of adoptable dogs. Adoptable pets will be on site from Almost Home Humane Society, Loving Heart Animal Shelter, and Natalie’s Second Chance. Wildcat Valley Animal Clinic will be holding a low-cost vaccine clinic and microchipping will be available from Loving Heart Animal Shelter.

All owners must bring paper-proof of rabies vaccination to the event and dogs must be 4 months of age to participate. Also, children under 12 years of age are not permitted in the Dog Park. To learn more about the Shamrock Dog Park interested pet owners may visit http://www.facebook.com/TheDogParkAssociationofGreaterLafayette or http://www.dogparkinlafayette.org. Memberships will also be available for $60.

Drummer Carlo Costa, bassist Pascal Niggenkemper and pianist JP Schlegelmilch join forces in a trio that explores the boundaries between compostion and improvisation. Their music ranges from areas of static minimalism to dense and dynamic gestures, embracing both stark dissonance as well as open hearted lyricism.

Admission to Science on Tap is free!

This event is still a little up in the air due to a need for a hefty some of cash needed for insurance to cover the event!

Here is the current plan:
Lafayette and West Lafayette are home to 5, that’s right 5, wonderful mountain bike trails. One of these trails, the beginner trail, is located at the Tippecanoe Amphitheater.

We have permission from Tippecanoe County and the property owners of the amphitheater to host the first Fastest Lap Mountain Bike Race that Tippecanoe County has seen (that we know of). The date is set, as is the time…we just have a few final details to work out.

Thanks to the Hoosier Mountain Bike Association and Tippecanoe Mountain Biking Association for helping us get this set up!

IF we can’t meet the insurance requirements then we will just be sponsoring a trail ride and mountain bike education day so mark your calendar for Mountain Bike fun!

An informal gathering of LGBT parents (and those in a step-parent role), others who hope to become parents, and empty-nesters!

Drop in whenever you can between 6-8 pm.

Kids are welcome! We’ll have activities to keep them busy while we chat.

Join us for fun and conversation. Please feel free to invite others.
