Story City Friends Endowment awards $300 to Roland-Story LTS 4-H Club The Story City Friends Endowment recently awarded $300 to the Roland-Story LTS 4-H Club. The award will be used to purchase a portable sound system, storage and meeting supplies for the
fast-growing club. Formed in 2015 following the merger of three area 4-H programs, its name reflects leadership, trustworthiness and service to our community. It serves students from kindergarten
through 12th grade in the northwest corner of Story County and currently involves 40 students and their families. This award, part of the endowment’s annual contribution back to the community, is
one of four given out in 2019. Begun in 2014, the endowment is a permanent fund that will continue to make a difference in the community forever and is supported by contributions from area residents.
ACTORS opens Season 64 with ‘Play On!’ The Ames Community Theater (ACTORS) is kicking off its 64th season with the popular comedy “Play On!” opening on Sept. 19 and running for two weekends. Audiences will laugh their way through this play-within-a-play and a glimpse into community theater. In this outrageously funny comedy, the eccentric playwright, Phyllis, cannot stop re-writing and changing her script. Three days before the show opens, she brings more changes to her play that creates crazy situations that the audience will enjoy. The director and stage manager do not know how to approach a cast that reacts to every change that Phyllis makes, and anything that can go wrong, does. Director Bradley Meyer is excited about the talented cast that he gets to guide through the production. The cast features ACTORS veterans V~ Dumas-Wines, Ruthellen Cunnally, Seth Levings and Megan
Kroeger. These actors were all involved in last year’s hit “Rumors. In addition, Samantha Brochshus has returned after a four-year hiatus, Mark Redman returns after ACTORS, see page 9
