The second week of July is a busy one at your Community Center. Monday Night at the Movies is back with Furiosa, A Mad Max Saga.  It’s the origin story on the Road Warrior and it will be on our big screen with the big sound so you can see it the way it was meant to be seen. Showtime is 6:00 p.m. Feel free to bring along snacks or dinner, or grab something at our Concession Stand.  If you’d like a pizza, please order ahead so it can be ready for showtime.

Tuesday and Wednesday we’ll have professional theater on the stage as the Island’s Peter Amster directs a read-through of Searching For Eden. Playwright James Still tells the story of the first meeting of man and woman in the garden in Act One and then jumps ahead to find them at present time in a resort at the same location, a resort simply called “E.” As one critic wrote about Searching for Eden: “In the beginning—and throughout the play—there was laughter. And the audience found it good.” Veteran actors Cindy Gold and David Breitbarth will bring the story to life on our stage with two opportunities to catch the show. We are thrilled to partner with the Beaver Island Performing Arts Alliance to present this special show. Curtain time both nights is 7:30. Tickets are available at tickets.biccenter.org.

Friday and Saturday, Drag Bingo is back. We’ll have professional entertainers dressed to the nines dancing and joking the night away and, you never know…some local talent might appear. There’ll be snacks, set-ups for BYOB, music and lots of bingo fun. Theater will open at 7:00 and the fun begins at 7:30.

For the third week of July we have the critically acclaimed The Last Stop in Yuma County for Monday Night at the Movies and then the Beaver Island Jazz Series continues with the Greg Vandais Quartet.

In addition to theater, music and movies, the we have Summer Yoga with classes available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, including special therapeutic sessions on Mondays. There’s also the Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program on Tuesdays and Fridays.  And, don’t forget about the increasingly popular, Senior+Vets Coffe+Donuts on Fridays. Join us from 8:30 to 10:30 for some sweet treats, morning brew and the opportunity to hang out and chat with fellow Islanders.

Tickets for the shows are available at tickets.biccenter.org. Movies are freewill donation. A fee is collected for yoga sessions, but 100% of that is donated to the BIC Center.

We look forward to seeing you at your Community Center!
