Summer is heating up at Stage 3Theatre Company with the opening of Sheldon Epps' "Blues in the Night."

Directed by Dwight Dean Mahabir with musical direction by Dennis Brown, "Blues in the Night" opens Friday and promises 26 hot and torchy numbers. It tells of the sweet, sexy and sorrowful experiences three women have with the lying, cheating man who does them wrong.

Set in a rundown Chicago hotel in 1938, this dialogue-free show focuses on three women' s

relationships with the same man, playedby Mahabir. Their interweaving stories are told

through the torch songs and blues of Duke Ellington, Bessie Smith, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen, Vernon Duke, Gordon Jenkins and Alberta Hunter, among others.

The cast includes three new faces to Stage 3 — Caroline Walsh as The Girl, Nicole Firpo as The Dancer and Jazmyn Upshaw-Toney as The Woman, as well as a Stage 3 favorite, Michelle Allison as The Lady.

Mahabir is doing double duty as a castmember while also directing "Blues in the Night."

Allison is a well-known regional actor having appeared many times in Stage 3 productions such as, "Fences," "Doubt" at Stage 3 and Playhouse Merced and "Crowns" at Stage 3.

Walsh is a newcomer to Stage 3, but is no novice at performing

ART

Calaveras Outdoor Painting Socie on display • What:Art reception.

• When:Sunday,4:30to6p.m.

• Where:Hovey Winery tasting room, 350-A Main St., Murphys.

• Admission:Free.

• Info:728-9999, hoveywine.corn

The en plein air oil paintings and pastels of the Calaveras Outdoor Painting Society (COPS) will be featured this month at Hovey Winery's tasting room in Murphys.

A duo of local artists — Sunny Sorensen and Judie Cain — will fill the tasting room walls with their original art, all created on location in Calaveras County and beyond.

An artist's reception will be held in their honor from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Sunday. Complimentary appetizerswillbe served and wine will be available by the glassor bottle.

COPS is an organization of local pointers who enjoy painting directly from life, mostly natural landscapes.

"In 2011, I rounded up a few candidates who thought they'd like to paint en plein air together," Sorensen said. "No meetings, dues, potlucks or instruction. The idea was to show up and paint, and that's what

we did.

"Painting in the field means the artists must pay more attention to that which is in front and aroundthem than the camera," she added. "It's all in the process and it's all good."

Sorensen spent childhood summers in the Sierra and after leading backpack trips in the high country, she knew she needed to paint outdoors.

"I love it because it's immediate — chasing sun light and shadow with paint — and there's always something new to discover, "Sorensen said."It's such a rush. The light changes so quickly, you have to fast dance the brush to get it down."

She teaches plein air workshops locally and life drawing at Town Hall Arts in Copperopolis.

Her work has been shown in local and Bay Area galleries, the Haggin Museum as well as in Mexico.

Cain, a native of Burlingame, studied at California College of Arts, attended numerous workshops and studied with select professionals.

She has taught oil painting fundamentals and color workshops locally and in the western United States. She has been representedin galleries

s

A pastel by Sunny Sorensen titled, "Toward Dorrington."

Judie Cain, who paints en plein air, says she enjoys being part of the COPS group. in Washington, Oregon, New Mexico and California.

Cain also paints in gouache, an opaque watercolor.

"Plein air painting is to art what Haiku is to poetry, describing the time of day, season and emotion of the moment in light and shadow," she said. "Painting with the COPS group for the pastthree years, I've discovered some ofthe most spectacular destinations in our county. After many years of studio painting, I've rediscovered the passion and excitement that may have been missing in my works. I'm more spontaneous and focused.

The camaraderieofpainting with like-minded artists is not only fun, but enlightening and mind expanding."

"We' re hoping that you, too, can enjoy these incredible works of art with all of your senses, just asthese artists experienced

Authors Day returns to coun library Friends of the Tuolumne County Library will host its second Authors Day from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, July 16.

Each month, on the third Thursday, FOTCL will present two of its local authors.

This month Sydney Avey and Mary Stewart Anthony will meet the public to share their stories and have books available for signing and purchasing.

They will be located in the lobby of the main library on Greenley Road in Sonora.

Avey said she "is a Christian author who writes about mothers and daughters."

Her two novels, "The Sheep Walker's Daughter" and the sequel, "The Lyre and the Lambs," trace a woman's search

for her family identity, her spiritualroots,and a restored relationship with her estranged daughter. The stories are set in the 1950s and 60s in rural Los Altos, Santa Clara County.

H er books are available at the Sonora library and on Amazon. corn in trade paperback, eBook and audible formats. Avey is a native Californian with a marketing communications career behind her. She lives in Groveland and Surprise, Arizona, and is working on her third novel, a family saga.

"Love Song of a Flower Child" is the first book of Mary Stewart Anthony's memoir. She is finishing the second book called, "Love Walk, Between Two Worlds," to be published next year.

Anthony, as stated in a book review, "...is articulate and well versed in the power of literature and poetry as she sketches her shaky trajectory in the flower children. Love Song is thus entrancing and enthralls until the last emotionally ridden page."

Anthony herself said, "I am a poet, memoirist, wife, mother and grandmother, hurtling

through time from the 'silent generation,' and hastening to be part of the 21st century digital revolution."

She is also working on her first collection of poetry called "Fabula: Fables for the Searching Soul" to be published this year, accompanied by a CD recording.

FOTCL is a volunteer organizationdedicated tothe support of the country's libraries. Membership support helps expand the library collection, including its eBook collection, improve facilities and fund children' s programs.

Supervisor Ralph Thiel, who had urged study of an alternate plan whereby county patients would be treated on a fee-for-service basis by local doctors of their own choice, finally agreed to the 90-day Medicare experiment after lengthy discussions. Named to the new county posts are Dr. Rodney Wood and Dr. Tony Fratis. They will each be guaranteed a salary of $1,500 per month.

In experienced hands the bicycle is an excellent means of travel. In the hands of an amateur it is like an unbroken mule. Thus it was when Reed mounted the twowheeled racer. He started off like a cowboy on horseback leisurely riding through a frontier town. Soon thereafter, however, the bicycle picked up speed and ran into the Chinese wash-house on Stewart street, crashed into the iron doors of Moore's tinsmith shop on Washington street, and made a frenzied assault on the picket fence surrounding the Oppenheimer residence on Bradford street. During all this excitement, bicyclist Reed bravely remained with his steed, and now has the hay and barely saver under absolute control, more or less.

Spinach, Mushroom & Jack Cheese Omelette

Ray and Ella (Giannini) Eproson moved to Twain Harte with theirfamily in 1930.Vhe family owned the Twain Harte Grocery (where 7-11 is now located). Ray became Twain Harte's Postmaster and Fire Chief, and the Post Office was located in their store, which,for many years, was also their home. They began building their new horne on (what is now) Twain Harte Drive during World War II. 7his is the current location of the Eproson House. It was completed in 1947 and hadfive rooms. The Post Office was moved to thefront part of what is now the bar.

Ray and Ella's bedroom was located behind the PostOnce. 7he children's bedrooms were located in what is now the dining room between the current bar and the new dining area near the fireplace.

Ray Eproson died in 1967 and Ella lived in the house until her death in 1972. In 1973 the house was sold to Mr. and Mrs. Warton who converted the home into a restaurant, "The Eproson House." Dick Rachel took over the restaurant from the Wartons, and later sold it in 1975 (/) to Martha Scott, who owned the business until 1991.Martha added the new dining area on the west end o f the building (the Sky Room). The bar and restaurant became the social and business center of Twain Harte.

Since1991, The Eproson House has had several owners and,for short, a diferent name. It is, once again, The Eproson House Restaurant. We welcome all of you past and present to our House, The Eproson House". Enjoy!
