Two Shows At The Library In The Next Week
The Finale of the Summer Reading Program will take place on Saturday, August 1st at 1:00 pm as we feature cowgirl singer songwriter Judy Taylor as we close the “Read to the Rhythm” summer reading program. Following the performance we will have all of the makings for Ice Cream sundaes in the Library’s community room. Judy Taylor captures her audience with her million dollar smile, the fabulous voice with which she was blessed and her skills as a cowgirl which includes performing as a gun-slinging roper. She always captivates the audience with her innate talent and charm. As Judy spins ropes and yodels out her cowgirl songs to the world, she sees that she is blessed and able to live in the heart of her dreams. Inspired by the icons of her youth, sometimes she says she is fortunate enough to see those same sparks rise in the eyes of the kids she perform for. Taylor says, “If there was anything I could share from my life experience, it’s that trail blazing is not as hard as one would think, and cowgirling is a darn fine profession.” With all the distractions and fast pace of entertainment these days, Taylor hopes that her carrying the torch of the American wild-west way of life
Judy Taylor will result in kids being inspired to learn the crafts themselves and choose to entertain with western arts and skills. There is nothing like the image of the western horseman to remind us of our roots. As we bring the summer reading programming to a close, please know that you have until the end of August to claim your first prize for reading ten books or ten hours. The raffle for the additional prizes will take place toward the end of the day on Saturday, August 8. All persons who are selected to receive one
of the additional prizes will be notified by telephone. Please join us at the Julian branch library as we present a program for all ages in our wonderfully air conditioned building. The performance will be followed by an Ice Cream Social sponsored by the Friends of the Julian Library. The Julian branch Library is located at 1850 Highway 78, Julian. For more information please contact the branch at 760-765-0370. Thank you for participating and Happy Reading!
Music On The Mountain
What Do Shelter Valley And The Old Globe Theatre Have In Common? Samuel Bennett! Sam is a 17 year old home schooled student, entering his Senior Year of high school. He has been selected, by audition, to participate in the Shakespeare Summer Intensive at the Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park. The Old Globe's eighth annual Summer Shakespeare Intensive for high school students will conclude on Monday, August 10 at 7:00 p.m. with performances of abridged versions of Love's Labor's Lost and The Tempest. The four-week program began on July 13 and is a unique opportunity for teen actors and actresses to refine their skills as performers in a professional setting. Throughout the Intensive, the students have studied classical acting in daily classes as well as lessons in voice, movement, and stage combat. In addition, they participated in workshops with professional actors from the Globe's current shows. Not only is he the first student from San Diego's Backcountry to be accepted into the program, he was cast in a lead role as King of Navarre, in 'Love's Labor's Lost' and an ensemble role in 'The Tempest'. The Globe was excited to see a student from our rural community selected for the program and be a partial scholarship recipient. This required him to make a temporary/part-time move to the city, in order to make the daily commute to the Globe. We are not sure which is scarier, performing live on the Old Globe Stage or commuting in rush hour traffic on Interstate 15. Sam has participated in numerous lead and supporting roles in performances with the Out of the Box Players, in Ramona, CA, under the direction of Juliana Stewart, as well as the 2014 Christian Youth Theatre Production of Willy Wonka. Earlier this year, he began working with professional Acting Coach, Jordan Miller of the Miller Couto Vocal and Acting Studio, to prepare for the monologue auditions to get into The Old Globe program. This is his first experience working with The Globe. Not only is he a fun and talented actor, Sam is an energetic and creative teen, that has been very involved with community service and Christian outreach activities. The areas of greatest involvement include the Shelter Valley Vol. Fire Department and the Shelter Valley Community Center, his church Calvary Chapel of Julian as a member of both their Food Bank and Children's Ministry team, and annual service trips to Phoenix, AZ to work with Basic Missions, an outreach to the homeless and addicted in the urban communities in and around Phoenix. He also works part-time for various neighbors with yard care and handyman tasks. This summer, he is excited to be focusing on his goals of becoming a professional actor, and using this opportunity to help him to become more educated on the reality of that possibility. He feels working and performing as a student with the Old Globe Master's, should help him see if this is a realistic path he wants to continue on. Please join us for his performance on Monday, August 10 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets will go on sale in July, 2015 and can be purchased via the website or by phone: (619) 23-GLOBE (234-5623) ; www.oldglobe.org or tickets@ TheOldGlobe.org
