CITY OF SHOW LOW PARTNERS ON “PLEASE BUY LOCAL FOR THE HOLIDAYS” PROGRAM

 

Continuation of successful summer “Please Buy Local” campaign

 

The City of Show Low is partnering once again with the Northland Pioneer College Small Business Development Center and the Arizona Commerce Authority to present the “Please Buy Local for the Holidays” program for the 2020 holiday season. This is a continuation of the successful “Please Buy Local” campaign introduced during the summer tourist season in the White Mountains in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  2020 has been a very challenging year for businesses in Show Low and the White Mountains, and this program aims to remind holiday shoppers that it is more important than ever to buy local this holiday season.

The City of Show Low has “Please Buy Local for the Holidays” posters available for Show Low businesses to display at their places of business as a reminder to holiday shoppers. Show Low businesses can pick up free posters at Show Low City Hall, 180 N. 9th Street in Show Low, Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

NPC’s Virtual Fall Festival Currently Underway

NPC’s Virtual Fall Theatre Festival kicks off Nov. 14

Bringing the live theatre experience directly to your favorite digital device, Northland Pioneer College’s (NPC’s) Performing Arts Department is proud to present its first ever “Virtual Fall Theatre Festival.” The festival will run November 14 – 30, 2020 on YouTube and can be accessed at any time during that window.

The exciting, emotionally-varied series consists of five one-act plays featuring NPC’s fall theatre students. “I am proud of what our students have accomplished this semester under less than ideal circumstances given how we have rehearsed in a physically distant manner,” states series director Dr. Mike Solomonson. “Although we are disappointed that we were unable to offer our Fall Dinner Theatre experience, we are extremely thankful for all the support our communities give our students. We’ve blended technology and theatre in a series that demonstrates some real-world scenarios somewhat telling of our times. Expect some great performances and prepare to be entertained, even if it is from afar this time.” Solomonson was assisted by Patrick Day, who is the lighting and technical adviser for the series.

The performances include, Taking Sum Lumps by Ken Preuss, featuring KayBree Raisor and Reece Harris in which a young woman breaks a mirror and is offered options by an agent in charge of dispensing the bad luck. Will she spread the bad luck across seven years or take it all in one lump sum? Virtuous Reality by Alex Wilkie stars Brian Jackson and Claire Padilla. While forced into quarantine by the pandemic, Brian hopes to use the time polishing up his dating skills with ‘Virtuous Reality,’ an online service that offers virtual advice through simulated dating scenarios. But Brian’s dating skills are in need of some serious remediation, and his coach, Lydia, thinks she has an unorthodox but effective solution. The Banishment Room by Jackie Martin features Vera Meier-Bennett, KayBree Raisor and Brian Jackson. Diane is distraught when her career takes an unexpected turn – right into a dead end. Her new office mate offers words of wisdom and a passive – very passive – way to fight back. A Christmas Pickle by Uma Incrocci stars Vera Meier-Bennett and Claire Padilla. A college professor calls a troubled student to her office… just what happened at last night’s drunken party, and could it possibly involve… Santa Claus? In Protocols by Vince Gatton, Reece Harris and Brian Jackson portray two siblings on a video call attempting to manage a crisis.

To access the virtual series visit YouTube and search “Northland Pioneer College, 2020 Fall Play Festival” or go to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp6yzFzViIZqvrQA-Bn1Kyw?view_as=subscriber. Questions can be addressed to Dr. Solomonson, at (928) 536-6217 or email michael.solomonson@npc.edu.
