A Time to Perform in July
By Kaye Osborn
Summer is in full swing. A time to rejuvenate and relax! Swim, bike, read, reconnect and take in a theatrical production or two. Gallo’s new season has lots to offer. Grab a brochure and browse the selections. There is something for everyone! I am currently working with two amazing Sign Language interpreters: Connie Ambrosia-Wann and Mark Medina. We will be interpreting YES Company’s Beauty and the Beast on Saturday, July 21st at 3 PM. Please spread the word to the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community. This will be Melanie Wyatt’s last production as she is retiring. She has poured her heart and soul into YES! We are so lucky and blessed that she has given so many young people an opportunity to sparkle and shine on our local stages. Congratulations Melanie!
Here is what is happening in our neck of the woods!

The Wolves, a play by Sarah DeLappe.
Against the backdrop of an indoor soccer field, 2017 Pulitzer Prize Nominee The Wolves is a fly-on-the-wall look at a girls’ high school soccer team that unfolds the frantic humor, humanity, and brutality of the battlefield that is teenage girlhood. In any war, even that of a high school all-girl soccer team, there are allies, there could be enemies, there are leaders, there are followers, there are sacrifices and losses, but there is always the heart of the team, where every player is ultimately valued equal to all others. Artistic Director Traci Sprague has put together a team of nine young women ages 16-27 from the valley to fill out the ensemble of ‘The Wolves’.
