End of
Summer
Summer is drawing to a close and, while we are all ready for some relief from the heat, it won’t be long before we are complaining about the colder weather of winter and longing for summer to return. While long warm days are still with us, we might want to take advantage of it by riding out to Hunting Island for long walks on the beach, laying in the sun and playing in the surf. Boat rides and balmy days on the sandbars will still be with us for a while as well. ‘ Take a walk on Beaufort’s waterfront park after dinner at Plums, Saltus , or Panini’s. And don’t forget the Chocolate Tree’s annual end of summer all-you-can eat Chocolate buffet. Not something you want to miss! Don’t worry about summer ending though. There’s still the cooler weather of the fall to look forward to and all that the Lowcountry offers then as well!

La Fanciulla Del West Puccini’s musical vision of the American West is vividly brought to life in the Met’s atmospheric production. Deborah Voigt is Minnie, the “girl of the golden west” and owner of a bar in a Californian mining camp. Marcello Giordani sings Dick Johnson, the bandit-turned-lover hunted by the cynical sheriff Jack Rance (Lucio Gallo), who wants Minnie for himself. Complete with whiskey-drinking cowboys, gunplay, a poker game, and a snowstorm, La Fanciulla del West is Puccini at his most colorful. Wednesday August 13 1:00pm
Obvious Child For aspiring comedian Donna Stern, everyday life as a female twenty-something provides ample material for her incredibly relatable brand of humor. On stage, Donna is unapologetically herself, joking about topics as intimate as her sex life and as crude as her dayold underwear. But when Donna gets dumped, loses her job, and finds herself pregnant just in time for Valentine’s Day, she has to navigate the murky waters of independent adulthood for the first time. As she grapples with an uncertain financial future, an unwanted pregnancy, and a surprising new suitor, Donna begins to discover that the most terrifying thing about adulthood isn’t facing it all on her own. It’s allowing herself to accept the support and love of others. Monday August 18 7:00pm
