With a cast of more than 35 adults and children and a musical version of a beloved classic, CNY Arts Center is set to open Narnia, a musical based on The Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe by C. S. Lewis. Directed by Amy Price and music directed by Gina Holsopple, the cast has been in rehearsal for more than six weeks learning stage combat, English accents, and a beautiful score.
To my way of thinking the best beach in the world is in front of Amazing Ngapali Resort. When people ask us what our favorite place is we usually reply, “Where we are now.” However, there is only one place we have returned to eight years in a row even though it is a half a world away. For every five nights we stay we get extra benefits that include a free massage and a dinner; but, it is more than that. The staff is outstanding; the beach is wide and long with soft sand; the water is calm and warm, and it is very safe.
Members of the cast of the upcoming production of “Of Mice and Men” are busy rehearsing for the late April opening of the play.

John and I have been to Myanmar many times but the most amazing site in a country of many amazing sites is the Golden Rock. On our recent trip, we stayed at the Park Royal Hotel in Yangon. The hotel is wonderful with great service, a bountiful multi-ethnic breakfast, and a wonderful staff. The Golden Rock is amazing and defies the laws of nature as it balances precariously on a table rock and has for more than two thousand years.
A circus wave — the English meaning of Vague de Cirque — strikes the shore of Lake Ontario when eight versatile international acrobats perform in a heated yellow tent on the SUNY Oswego campus with 7:30 p.m. shows Wednesday through Friday, April 15 to 17, and at 2 p.m. April 18. Quebec-based Vague de Cirque is the creation of Alain Boudreaux and Noemie Gervais, two accomplished alums of Cirque du Soleil and Cirque Eloize with their own vision for the popular art form.
John and I have visited many places in Vietnam including the beaches between Danang and Hoi An. This time we decided to try some place different – some place that would be warm. Mui Ne is about 135 miles due east of Saigon. After some searching, we decided to stay at Shades Resort. The rate was reasonable; it was on the water and had a pool so it fit our needs.
Ho Chi Minh City has been the official name since the fall of Saigon in 1975 but both are in use. Once again being a loyal customer paid off. We had a free night with InterContinental Hotels due to using their credit card and being a member of their IHG Rewards Club so we booked a room at the InterContinental Asiana Residence. We didn’t realize just how lucky we were until we saw our accommodation. We had two huge rooms.
