significant-as any female performer you’d care to name. Her music has
confronted many of the major social issues of her time, and her life
story is a rags-to-riches tale familiar to pop, rock and country fans
alike. The Coal Miner’s Daughter-the tag refers to a hit single, an
album, a best-selling autobiography, an Oscar-winning film, and to Lynn
herself-has journeyed from the poverty of the Kentucky hills to
Nashville super-stardom to her current status as an honest-to-goodness
American icon.

Fall weather is almost here, and we will finally be able step outside without breaking a sweat. Maybe you’re into outdoor activities and you’re looking for ways to get the family involved? Here
you go. Tyler Parks and Recreation has some events coming up that might be great father-son and father-daughter moments.The Outdoor Adventure Series includes hiking, biking, fly fishing and orienteering, and it’s all free thanks to a grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.Now, what is orienteering? It’s is finding your way with navigation. Orienteering means you’re using a map and compass to move from point to point in what’s usually unfamiliar terrain.It’s gaining popularity all over the country, and there’s a chance to try your hand at it — or compass at it — in Tyler. Or maybe fly fishing is your thing? There’s a competition next Saturday that you might want to get the kids involved in, and watch them have better luck than the rest of us.

Monkey business! “Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!” The peddler
has a huge stack of caps, balanced carefully on top of his head — brown
caps, blue caps, gray caps, and red caps. Unfortunately, no one wants to
buy a cap. So the peddler goes for a walk in the country and takes a
nap under a shady tree. When he wakes up, the caps are gone — all except
his own checked one! Where could his caps have gone? And how will he
ever get them back? Celebrating the 75th Anniversary of this favorite
book, this new musical will enchant lower elementary children!

Here’s a stylish and witty suspense play that was first seen as a 1979
made for TV movie. It originally starred Hal Holbrook, Katherine Ross
and Barry Bostwick. It combines twists and turns and delivers what
mystery fans love most—taut suspense with an ingenious plot. Arthur
Sinclair is a successful world-famous mentalist in the tradition of
Dunninger. His beautiful and much younger wife Allison plots his murder
for the commonest of all motives—greed. She enlists the aid of a
struggling young actor. Her foolproof murder plan cannot possibly
misfire as it’s too skillfully inventive—or is it? After all, Arthur (as
everyone knows) has psychic gifts. But does he? Once the killing scheme
is set in motion, the plot begins to evolve into a maze of confusion.
Nothing is as it seems. Is mind reading possible? Can the future be
foretold? Just when the audience thinks they know what will happen next,
there is another unexpected turn to complicate matters. The mystery
builds to an exciting climax. Surprise ending? Oh Yeah!!!

Join us for an
amazing night of fun! In late 1976 the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
premiered at the Westwood Theater in Los Angeles, CA. At that time the
film was considered a failure and did not get a wide release. But on
April Fools’ Day, 1976, Tim Deegan, a young advertising executive at
20th Century Fox, persuaded Bill Quigley of the Walter Reade
Organization to replace the midnight show at the Waverly Theater with
the ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.The theater manager
would play the record album of the RHPS sound track before the showing
of the film to warm up the audience, and a party atmosphere was
generated as a result. The audiences naturally began to respond, by
booing the villain and cheering the heroes. Audience response was
tremendous!
The logical step
after talking in unison with, and then at, the screen was actual
physical participation in the film – through the use of props. The first
ones used were rice and cards.
Anyone
who has seen the RHPS a few times knows how to do the “Time Warp”. “It’s
just a jump to the left, then a step to the right… “. Now
thanks to Coby Archa we will have our own local floor show addition to
this “cult classic”. Get your tickets quickly and be ready to party with
us!
