This has been a difficult time for everyone. Not only are businesses closed that aren’t essential, but all events have been canceled as well. Many of those events have found creative ways to happen virtually, providing mostly free entertainment for those of us stuck in our homes. Community theatre has been hit particularly hard, canceling their shows has not only been disappointing for everyone, but they also don’t have those ticket sales coming in to help pay the bills.

Daphne du Maurier wrote moody, atmospheric fiction, sometimes paranormal, with love entwined—”romance noir,” where characters with a happy ending aren’t really that happy. Rebecca, Jamaica Inn, The Birds, Frenchman’s Creek…and My Cousin Rachel. The Good Company Players’ 2nd Space Theatre currently presents a tense, breathtaking adaptation through October 13.

Seven years ago, the Good Company Players presented Calamity Jane, based on the Doris Day musical film, at Roger Rocka’s. Instead of using all local talent, the starring role was played by Louise Mandrell, country singer and part of the Mandrell Sisters. She was really, really good.

Bubbles is 6 years old and likes to float through the room playing with all the other animals and toys along the way! He is a very energetic kitten that acts a bit like a wind-up toy, so he will go and go, and then when he has wound out, he will plop down for a motor filled cuddle. He does not like to be by himself and he will tell you so with his dainty sounding meow. Bubbles has been fostered with other cats, dogs and children. He does enjoy sharing a soft stuffed animal as his surrogate mommy for night time sleeping. Bubbles will bring you unending joy and he will keep you happy as you float through life together!! He is available at Cat House on the Kings.
