(Look at the post on field trips to read more about the last two events.)

Let me know tomorrow if you can go the Friday event and how many are in your party. Tickets are $10 (I think. I'm sure I can get a deal for us if we are more than 10. The same is true for Saturday. If anyone wants to read the play email me and I'll send it to you. "The Piano Lesson" by August Wilson circulates in the public library. COA might even have it.)
