As we go on into the New Year we want you to continue sharing your stories, ideas, and comments on how Community Voices can be a vital resource to our community. We will welcome in Barack Obama as the first African-American president of the United States for a second term. That dream was one provided to him through the foundation of others who came before him. Those such as Shirley Chisholm, the first African-American woman to run for presidency (1972) had already made history as the first African-American woman elected to Congress in 1968. READ MORE!

Civic Theatre Presents: The Imaginary Invalid
It’s often said that laughter is the best medicine, and nowhere is that prescription more accurate than in this rib-tickling, all new adaptation of the classic hypochondriac. The wealthy Argan is housebound with every disease in the book. Lurking around are any number of quacks that are only too happy to (mis)treat him. Family troubles, including a money-grubbing wife and two headstrong daughters, only add to Argan’s miseries. Complete with original songs, satirical bite and the requisite bawdiness, this telling of the classic comedy gets an injection of 1960’s French pop culture. If you’re looking for a good laugh, this show is just what the doctor ordered! SEE THIS PLAY!
