Singer/Songwriters to Help Raise Roof This Sunday
by Diana Tyler 01 Nov '19

01 Nov '19

North Eaton Christian Church has invited back two songwriters from its April, 2019 concert for the November installment of its "Raise the Roof" monthly concert series. Ken Moody-Arndt and Bob Sammon will perform on Sunday, November 3, at 3 p.m. for a one-hour concert of their original material. Ken delighted the church's April audience with his songs about faith, doubt, lost love, loneliness, love and marriage, and his generally trying to make sense of life. As a retired pastor, he's seen it all and knows what he's talking about! Bob, a prolific performer in and around Northeast Ohio who was another crowd favorite from the church's April concert, brings songs that come from the heart, sharing music that is at once personal and universal, from the touching to the hilarious. A freewill offering will benefit the church's roof fund. A reception, with refreshments, will follow the concert. The church is located at 35895 Royalton Rd., Eaton Township (intersection of SR 82 & 83).

"Cry Havoc!" at Ohio Shakespeare Festival
by Nancy Cates 31 Oct '19

31 Oct '19

Using Shakespeare to Ease the Trauma of War Cry Havoc! written and performed by Stephan Wolfert at Ohio Shakespeare Festival Greystone Hall, 103 S. High St., Akron November 15 and 16, 8:00 pm 1-888-718-4253 (option 1) or visit ohioshakespearefestival.com Tickets $10 - $50 After two years of paralysis from a high school sports injury, after six years in the United States Army, after a full-blown transition into a classic case of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Stephan Wolfert hopped off an Amtrak train deep in the mountains of Montana. Far from home. Close to the middle of nowhere. And without the first damn clue of what to do for the rest of his life. Until, as Fate would literally have it, he stepped into a local theater and saw a production of William Shakespeare's Richard III. Twenty years later, using Shakespeare's timeless words, and a few of his own, actor/veteran Stephan Wolfert in Cry Havoc! leads us on an interactive journey to meet Shakespeare's veterans. He also brings us face to face with one of the most vexing military - and civilian - problems of our time. Men and women are tested and trained before entering the military. While serving in the military, they continue to be tested and trained to ensure "combat readiness". Or, as Wolfert suggests, to harness their "berserker energy". Berserkers were Norse warriors of old who fought with a trance-like fury, and the value of that spirit of rage is as important to the military of today as it ever was. But there's no "off switch". After years of testing and training to maintain combat readiness, there is no testing and training to leave military service and rejoin the civilian world. No testing to ensure "NON-Combat readiness". No training to eliminate our warrior's "berserker energy". Leaving the "berserker" to pose the unanswered question: "Now what?" Shakespeare had something to say about that. He wrote about the relationships between veterans, politicians and civilians. He wrote about how these relationships can either prevent or create havoc. Cry Havoc! is a one-person play that unites veterans with civilians. It shows us that the military men and women of Shakespeare's time wrestled with the same hopes and worries that occupy our modern lives. It explores the difficulties that our veterans and their families face. And maybe, just maybe, it will help them eliminate the berserker and truly come home.
