"Capital City Buddy Walk" on
October 2, 2010 at 8:00am.
Event: Capital City Buddy Walk
"Who is YOUR buddy?"
What: Fundraiser
Start Time: Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 8:00am
End Time: Saturday, October 2, 2010 at 11:00am
Where: Antelope Park
The one-mile, Capital City Buddy Walk, hosted by the Down Syndrome Association for Families.
The Buddy Walk was developed by the National Down Syndrome Society in 1995 to bring together a wide range of concerned individuals to reach out to friends, family and co-workers to promote awareness and inclusion for people with Down syndrome and to raise funds for education, research and advocacy programs. The walk has grown from 17 walks in 1995 to more than 280 nationwide (one in every state) with over 230,000 participants.
Many of you probably already know Natasha and James Dobbins. They have two beautiful children Lily and Jimmy "Buddy". Buddy was born with Down Syndrome as well as other complications. He had open heart surgery on August 3, 2009. He had complications from a nicked lymph node...which caused what they called a chylothorax with plural infusion. Which means they nicked the lymph node and that caused the lining of his right lung to fill with fluid and lipils, which collapsed his right lung. We have dealt with apnea monitors, oximeters, oxygen, prescription formula, feeding tube and all kinds of stuff. RIGHT NOW... he's fine. He is almost 9 months and 13 lbs. He is still on lasix, prilosec, and sildenafil. But that should be short lived. All thats left is to deal with the down syndrome. Which I can deal with. ;)
The Dobbins family is inviting everyone to join them in the "Buddy" walk on October 2nd at Antelope Park. They would love to see a big team from their town there to support them!

Auditions at Lofte Community Theatre
Manley, NE [July 12, 2010]- Auditions for Neil Simon's play, "Jake's Women" will take place at the Lofte Community Theatre near Manley on Monday, July 26 and Tuesday, July 27 at 7pm. There are parts available for six women, one man and one young girl (age 10-15). Auditions will consist of cold readings from the script. Kevin Colbert will direct. Performance dates for the show's run are Aug 27-29, Sept 3-5, 9-12.
The script revolves around Jake, a novelist who is more successful with fiction than with life. He is facing a marital crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. Jake's women include his first wife who was killed in an accident, his daughter, his bossy sister, an opinionated analyst, his current wife who is leaving Jake, and a prospective third wife.
More information including complete character descriptions may be found on the Lofte's website, http://www.lofte.com/. Questions may be submitted to Director Kevin Colbert by calling the theater at (402) 234-2553.
GUYS AND DOLLS
Manley, NE [July 12, 2010]- The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley opens its summer musical , "Guys and Dolls," on July 16. Set in Damon Runyon's mythical New York City, this romantic comedy has high energy, lots of laughs and classic songs as it introduces us to a cast of vivid characters who have become legends: Sarah Brown, the upright but uptight "mission doll," out to reform the evildoers of Time Square; Sky Masterson, the slick, high-rolling gambler who woos her on a bet and ends up falling in love; Adelaide, the chronically ill nightclub performer whose condition is brought on by the fact she's been engaged to the same man for 14 years; and Nathan Detroit, her devoted fiancé, desperate as always to find a spot for his infamous floating crap game.
Director Kevin Colbert has been working with a cast, crew and orchestra of nearly 30 people. Included in the cast are Jim McKain, Anna & Levi Stroebel, Doyle Hanshaw, Phil Meggers and Natalie McGovern of Omaha; Jim Knierim, Anne Riha, Maylea Bauers and Brenda Jones of Louisville; Ross Thomason and Millard Carnes of Plattsmouth; Kurt Lamb and Kevin Holdorf of Manley; Nick Jensen and Scott Muldoon of Lincoln; Don and Tessie Stedintz of Council Bluffs; Samantha Colbert of Weeping Water; Jeff Johnston, Wade Mumford and Alyssa DiPaolo of Elmwood; Renee Jensen of Unadilla; Megan Fowler of Springfield; Charles Robbins of Wahoo; Mike Palmreuter of Bellevue; Katie Schmitt of Murdock; Sarah Dowling of Avoca and Mimi Ostmann of Eagle.
2010 marks the 100th birthday of composer Frank Loesser and the 60th anniversary of "Guys and Dolls'" Broadway debut. Over the years, several notable actors including Jerry Orbach, Nathan Lane, Patrick Swayze and Jessica Biel have all strutted their stuff portraying the memorable characters.
Performance dates are July 16-18*, 22-25*, 29-31 and August 1. Curtain times are 7:30pm on Thursday-Saturday and 2pm matinees on Sundays. Please note that Sunday, July 18 and 25 also have 7:30pm evening performances. General admission tickets are $16. Reservations can be made by calling the Lofte ticket office at (402) 234-2553.
The Lofte is located near the intersection of Hwy 1 and Hwy 50 near the town of Manley. For driving directions and more information about the theater, please visit our website, http://www.lofte.com/.
Guys and Dolls, Mothers and Daughters
Manley, NE [July 12, 2010]-The last time the Lofte performed Frank Loesser's classic Broadway hit, "Guys and Dolls," gasoline was $1.05 per gallon. The Summer Olympics were held in Barcelona, Spain, and Miley Cyrus was born. Yes, the year was 1992, and a lot has changed in 18 years.
In 1992 the Lofte was still housed in its original location on the old Rathe homestead. The lead role of Sarah Brown was being played by Betty Colbert. "Oh, the heat!" said Betty. "I remember trying to sing and speak so loudly, and the heat." Betty claims she really enjoyed playing Sarah Brown because she is a straight-forward kind of woman. "She has dreams both professionally and personally and her journey and transformation throughout the show make her an interesting character."
Artistic Director (and Betty's husband) Kevin Colbert decided that 2010 would be the year that the Lofte revisited "Guys and Dolls." Kevin and Betty's adult daughter, Samantha has been cast in the role of Sarah Brown. "At first, I didn't realize that my mom had played Sarah. I just knew that we (the Lofte) had done the show before. My only plan is that I am going to make this character my own."
Samantha was only two years old in 1992 and doesn't remember the Lofte's first G and D production. "But, my mom has been singing, ‘I Love You a Bushel and a Peck,' to me since I was a baby." Samantha will soon be starting her Junior year at Hastings College. She is a double major in Music Vocal Performance and Theater. In January she played Loagainne Schwartzandgrubeniere in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." Her future plans include getting her Bachelor's degree at Hastings, her Masters at UN-L and then moving to New York to work for a couple of years.
Kevin Colbert is director of the production and Betty Colbert is the musical director. With daughter, Samantha playing a leading role, how does this affect the family dynamic? Samantha Colbert stated, "The only thing I don't like about working with my mom and dad is that other people might think I got the role just because I'm the director's daughter. I'm working very hard and taking this role very seriously so that people don't think that."
Betty Colbert responded, "We treat Sam like everyone else. I really don't see a difference. Sometimes my advice (as a mom) isn't requested, but I have found Samantha wonderful to work with on the music. She takes vocal direction very well. Samantha's got an amazing amount of talent. Coming from a small town, I don't think she realizes how truly talented she is!"
Has Betty offered any advice to her daughter on playing the role of Sarah? Samantha stated, "If I happen to say, ‘I don't know how I'll ever memorize that speech,' Mom will offer a suggestion on how she did it. She really has limited her input. I think she understands that I'm going to do it differently and she wants me to do things my own way."
"Guys and Dolls" opens on Friday, July 16. Performance dates are July 16-18*, 22-25*, 29-31 and August 1. Performances times are 7:30pm Thursday-Saturday and 2pm matinees on Sundays. July 18 and 25 have both a 2pm matinee and 7:30pm evening performance. Tickets are $16 and can be purchased by calling the Lofte box office at (402) 234-2553.
