Laughter & Marriage Open SEACT’s Season in Company
DOTHAN, Ala. — Southeast Alabama Community Theatre (SEACT) announces that tickets for its season-opening production of Company go on sale Monday, August 31.
On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert (Bobby) contemplates his unmarried state. Over the course of a series of dinners, drinks and even a wedding, his married friends — “those good and crazy people” — explain the pros and cons of taking on a spouse. The habitually single man is forced to question his adamant retention of bachelorhood during a hilarious array of interactions.
Company premiered on Broadway in 1970 with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth. The show actually began as a series of short plays about marriage. The main character, Bobby, is a composite of bachelors who appeared in the short versions. Company is widely credited as one of Broadway’s first “concept musicals” built around a theme and a series of vignettes. It is one of Sondheim’s most influential and frequently revived works.

OZARK – ANDALUSIA: There has been a lot of talk, comments and more concerning the Ozark – Andalusia football game last Friday night in Andalusia.
In the third quarter there was a fight on the football field. Last night I watched the video and waited on a article until this morning when I could watch the video a second time. There is conflict concerning the Ozark Football Coach, Steve McClendon, who ran onto the field when the fight took place.
Andalusia jersey’s are black and Carroll’s are white. It is clear in the video the Andalusia football player was the aggressor in his attach of the Carroll football player. Ref’s threw flags, which a flag will not stop a fight at all. The Andalusia coach did not go onto the field which the Carroll coach did.
YEARS AGO players always respected the coach. He could get attention. Seeing his player attacked and then begin fighting back, apparently Carroll Coach McClendon felt he needed to get the fight stopped. And that is what Coaches are suppose to do.
He did not “strike” a player but did push a player attempting to stop the action on the field of the fight.
The announcer said the “thugs” needed to return to Ozark. Now the announcer is from Andalusia. But what the announcer failed to realize, from watching the video, the Andalusia player initiated contact in a fight, not a football play. Therefore, who is teaching thug mentality? Andalusia or Ozark.
Does a leader run “into” the behavior and attempt to stop it or does a leader “stand by” and watch it? Our answer is a leader stops it.
940 pm a rather large circle formed in the parking lot at Target. At 10pm a mad dash of lawn chairs, comfortable chairs, and a few cots form a line at the entrance of Target. No it is not Black Friday, people are literally sleeping at Target for ten hours, just to have a better chance to get this new collection booster box. If you are planning on going, you could be already late.
SLOCOMB: RSN reported last evening on a firearm assault in Slocomb at the Inland. RSN has an update.
It was a 16 year old who was shooting a rabbit when the barrel of his shotgun exploded causing injuries to his face and neck. The injured was being driven to the hospital when the Dale County Sheriff Deputy drove up.
Well the border deal has gotten quiet for now, maybe the initial scare has passed, we just need the U S GOVERNMENT to get out of the way !! We have a new Auctioneer. Drake moved on to another job and we wish him all the best!! We have hired a young man that I think is one of the best and is a good fit for us. Dustin Doughtry is our Auctioneer and we are glad to have him !!
Slaughter classes 3 to 7 lower . Replacement bred cows steady on a very light supply . Calves and feeder cattle steady to 10 higher . The strongest market activity that we have seen lately!! Hopefully the market has turned the corner!! The cattle numbers are still low and the BEEF demand is still very STRONG !! We need the government to get out of the way and let the MARKET WORK !!! Do something about fuel and fertilizer cost and the BEEF market will take of itself!!!
Thank you all for your business and friendship!! And remember, we are not here just to sell your cattle; we are here to do whatever it takes to get every penny we can for your cattle.
