| Description: |
This one-person show, written by and featuring Jay Geller, instructor of theatre at MCC, tells the story of one man's journey through grief and healing.

This play chronicles his voyage as a single parent of two young girls and his struggle to find a sense of normalcy in his life. In honest and straightforward detail, Jay divulges how he dealt with his grief, raised his two daughters, ventured into the world of middle-aged dating and finally finding love again.
This poignant and humorous production will open at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 27 and continue on Jan. 28 and Feb. 3-4.
Tickets are $5 for all performances. For reservations call (815) 455-8746 or email jgeller@mchenry.edu. |

April 18, 2012 marks the 70th anniversary of one of the most dramatic moments of World War II: The Doolittle Raids over Japan. We will commemorate that date with a fascinating and dramatic presentation on the courageous decision to make a bold, dangerous and unprecedented attack on mainland Japan in answer to the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor. Col. Jimmy Doolittle and his valiant Raiders defied weather, conventional thinking and limited equipment to launch an attack that revitalized American pride and had the unexpected effect of changing the tide of the Pacific War!
Barry will use first person accounts, extraordinary photos and rare color movie footage to remind us of the courage and sacrifice of the amazing men who flew into history on April 18, 1942.
