" In small but significant ways, Queen to Play defies expectations. It dangles the possibility of an affair between Hélène and Kröger in games that the film likens to courtship rituals in a classic screwball comedy."
- Stephen Holden, New York Times
" It's the best kind of unforced filmmaking, able to make its points with delicacy and tact. And the best thing about it is that it is Bottaro's feature directing debut. We have a lot to look forward to."

SURFLIGHT THEATRE TOWN MEETING * Urgent!
invites the community to step into the spotlight on October 9th
BEACH HAVEN, NJ
Monday, October 4, 2010 — You’ve heard the story - now Surflight Theatre wants to hear from YOU!On Saturday, October 9th from 10:00am to 12:00pm, Surflight Theatre will host a town meeting to take questions and thoughts from the community. As previously announced, the not-for-profit theatre must raise $500,000 by October 31st or the doors to the 61 year old theatre will be forced to close. The public is invited to meet with the theatre’s newly appointed Producing Artistic Director Roy Miller, along with Board President Gene Hammond and the Surflight Board of Trustees and staff. In a recent statement, Hammond said “we encourage any and all questions from the community as we reorganize and try to get the theatre back on solid financial footing.” Miller plans to reveal his initial plans for next season as well as initiatives that have already been implemented to keep costs under control. “We have a lot of exciting plans in store for everyone next season, but we need to get there first,” said Miller. “This crisis is very real, but when we get through it, Surflight has the opportunity to be one of the top not-for-profit theatres in the country. That is what we are asking everyone to invest in – not a sinking ship.” Miller, who has a long list of Broadway producing credits to his name including the recent West Side Story revival, is no stranger to the not-for-profit arena, having produced over 80 shows at Paper Mill Playhouse back in its heyday.Surflight Theatre has served the community for over 60 years, and now YOU have the opportunity to play a starring role in making sure that the Theatre continues to entertain audiences and educate artists for generations to come.For more information, visit www.surflight.org.

Library Art Reception Honors State Folk Legend
TOMS RIVER – On Thursday, October 14th, the Ocean County Library will host an art reception for “Visions of the Jersey Devil”, a group exhibit honoring the 275th birthday of New Jersey’s favorite mythical mascot.
The exhibit showcases imaginative portraits of the Jersey Devil created by eight local artists. Artworks range in style from traditional to modern to comic-book. Many poke affectionate fun at the popular folk legend, while others draw inspiration from historic eyewitness accounts.
Visitors to the Toms River Branch on October 14th are invited to join the fun in McConnell from 6:00-8:00 pm. Activities will include trivia, audiovisual presentations, and refreshments—including a “275th Birthday Cake” for the Jersey Devil.
Originating in 1735, the legend of the Jersey Devil has fascinated the Garden State for close to three centuries. Hundreds of state residents claim to have seen the Jersey Devil in its natural habitat, the Pine Barrens. After decades of notoriety, “Mother Leeds’ 13th Child” has earned the loyalty of many New Jersey natives, who view the creature as an enduring state symbol.
This program is free and open to the public. For more information, please contact the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library at (732)349-6200 xt. 5100, or visit www.theoceancountylibrary.org

Fused Glass Jewelry - Friday, July 16th 6:30 - 8:30PM
(and in case you can't make that one, another one held on Thursday, July 22 2:00 - 4:00 PM!)***
Visiting Artist / Teacher: Yvonne Yaar
The glass-working technique know as “fusing” involves melting pieces of glass
(layered on top of one another) together in a kiln at tempatures typically in excess of 1200º F. The end result is a new piece of glass. In jewelry making, we will focus on pendants or earrings, whichever the student chooses. THe techniques for design, cutting glass, grinding it for shaping and smooth edges- all part of the process taught and discussed in class. You can ask questions for more detailed information or just sit back and enjoy the process.
*** Each piece is taken to Yvonne's studio for the kiln process. Therefore allow a week for pick up unless other special arrangements are made with the artist (pick up sooner, different location, mailing to your home address for $7 fee, etc) You will be given a small tube of high quality craft/glass glue and will be responsible for attaching your jewelry bails. These bails are included with the cost of the class, no additional purchases necessary.
About the Artist: Simply put, Yvonne has a passion for glass. She became a full time artist approximately 4 years ago. She has taken classes at Salem Community College in Carney's Pt, NJ; one of the few entities in the USA that offers a Bachelor's Degree in Glass Art. She was on the Dean's list when she attended and she also took a class at Urban Glass in Brooklyn, NY. However, she is primarily self-taught. She has a BS from Indiana University in Interior Design, with a minor in Business Administration. She exhibits and sells from multiple galleries, museums, and boutiques in the Tri-State area {NY, NJ, &PA]. In 2009, Yvonne was honored by The Monmouth Museum as one of "New Jersey's Emerging Artists".
