Page 2 - Senior's Lifestyle Publication Supplement To Shelby Shopper & Info "The Last Day At W.O.R.K.” Annual Neal Center Membership Dinner Theatre It's A Good Life – OCTOBER 2010 Boy how time flies. It seems like only yesterday that the Neal Senior Center Players presented “At Halftime” and “bam” suddenly it’s time for their latest endeavor, “The Last Day at W.O.R.K.,” a comedy about a radio station (W.O.R.K.) in a small southern town which is signing off the air after 40 years. Written by Brandon Daughtry Slocum and J.P. Schuffman, this amusing work is directed by Rebecca M. Reger and is performed by the Neal Center Players with special permission by the “ArtAge Senior Theatre Resource Center at www.seniortheatre.com, 800-858-4998.” On October 28, 2010, the evening begins with a pre-dinner reception at 5:30 pm. Enjoy a glass or two of our “Dead-air” cocktails before you segue to the broadcast booth for some substantial pre-air fare. A meal of chopped pork barbecue with barbecue slaw, sauce, potato salad, tea or coffee, buns and homemade pie will be served at precisely 6:00 pm. Immediately following dinner there will be a brief five-minute intermission, and then it’s on with the last broadcast from W.O.R.K. at 6:35 pm. “The Last Day at W.O.R.K” is presented by the Neal Senior Center Players in honor of all contributing members of the Council on Aging/Senior Center. All current $50 annual members will get to attend this incredible evening of fine dining and one-act theatrical experience for free; $25 annual members will receive a reduced price and can attend for $6 per member. Remember at any price you get a great deal on dinner, along with a quality theatrical performance by your peers as well as party favors. Contributing memberships are available for a minimum contribution of $25 and may be purchased at the Neal Senior Center located at 100 TR Harris Drive, Shelby, NC 28150 from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm, Monday - Friday.
