Trying Opens LBP Season
Charlotte
The first play of the new Lemon Bay Playhouse season , Trying, written by Joanna McClelland Glass and directed by Richard Blanchard, runs from September 1 through 19. This touching character study is based on the true story of Joanna’s experiences from 1967 to 1968 as the secretary of Judge Francis Biddle, who had been Attorney General under Franklin Roosevelt and the Chief American Judge of the International Military Tribunal at the Nuremberg Trials.
Richard Blanchard has chosen two veteran actors for his cast. Ron Bupp, a favorite of LBP audiences, plays the challenging role of Judge Biddle, who functions “somewhere between lucidity and senility” and refuses to give in to ailments that affect his aging body. Kim Fisackerly plays Sarah Shore, an energetic, determined young woman, eager to tackle a new job. We welcome Kim, an experienced community theater performer, to her first appearance at LBP.

Charlotte
The first play of the new Lemon Bay Playhouse season , Trying, written by Joanna McClelland Glass and directed by Richard Blanchard, runs from September 1 through 19. This touching character study is based on the true story of Joanna’s experiences from 1967 to 1968 as the secretary of Judge Francis Biddle, who had been Attorney General under Franklin Roosevelt and the Chief American Judge of the International Military Tribunal at the Nuremberg Trials.
Richard Blanchard has chosen two veteran actors for his cast. Ron Bupp, a favorite of LBP audiences, plays the challenging role of Judge Biddle, who functions “somewhere between lucidity and senility” and refuses to give in to ailments that affect his aging body. Kim Fisackerly plays Sarah Shore, an energetic, determined young woman, eager to tackle a new job. We welcome Kim, an experienced community theater performer, to her first appearance at LBP.

FortMyers
Unity of Fort Myers, a spiritual community open to all, will host a number of prayer activities in conjunction with Unity’s World-Wide Ministries Thursday, Sept. 9.
The day also marks the 120th anniversary of Silent Unity, a 24 hours a day, seven days a week, prayer ministry provided to all who request it. The Unity approach to prayer is affirmative, based on positive prayers and affirmations that have universal, interfaith appeal. This day’s activities will be the continuation of 3,784,320,000 seconds of affirmative prayer since Silent Unity’s inception in 1890. The theme for this year’s World Day of Prayer is Living in the Flow.
In the late 1880s, Myrtle Fillmore’s life was transformed when she heard and believed the idea, “I am a child of God and therefore I do not inherit sickness.” Speaking life-affirming words to her tuberculosis-ravaged body, she went on to live a life of health and wholeness.

Trying Opens LBP Season
Charlotte
The first play of the new Lemon Bay Playhouse season , Trying, written by Joanna McClelland Glass and directed by Richard Blanchard, runs from September 1 through 19. This touching character study is based on the true story of Joanna’s experiences from 1967 to 1968 as the secretary of Judge Francis Biddle, who had been Attorney General under Franklin Roosevelt and the Chief American Judge of the International Military Tribunal at the Nuremberg Trials.
Richard Blanchard has chosen two veteran actors for his cast. Ron Bupp, a favorite of LBP audiences, plays the challenging role of Judge Biddle, who functions “somewhere between lucidity and senility” and refuses to give in to ailments that affect his aging body. Kim Fisackerly plays Sarah Shore, an energetic, determined young woman, eager to tackle a new job. We welcome Kim, an experienced community theater performer, to her first appearance at LBP.

Trying Opens LBP Season
Charlotte
The first play of the new Lemon Bay Playhouse season , Trying, written by Joanna McClelland Glass and directed by Richard Blanchard, runs from September 1 through 19. This touching character study is based on the true story of Joanna’s experiences from 1967 to 1968 as the secretary of Judge Francis Biddle, who had been Attorney General under Franklin Roosevelt and the Chief American Judge of the International Military Tribunal at the Nuremberg Trials.
Richard Blanchard has chosen two veteran actors for his cast. Ron Bupp, a favorite of LBP audiences, plays the challenging role of Judge Biddle, who functions “somewhere between lucidity and senility” and refuses to give in to ailments that affect his aging body. Kim Fisackerly plays Sarah Shore, an energetic, determined young woman, eager to tackle a new job. We welcome Kim, an experienced community theater performer, to her first appearance at LBP.

Charlotte
The first play of the new Lemon Bay Playhouse season , Trying, written by Joanna McClelland Glass and directed by Richard Blanchard, runs from September 1 through 19. This touching character study is based on the true story of Joanna’s experiences from 1967 to 1968 as the secretary of Judge Francis Biddle, who had been Attorney General under Franklin Roosevelt and the Chief American Judge of the International Military Tribunal at the Nuremberg Trials.
Richard Blanchard has chosen two veteran actors for his cast. Ron Bupp, a favorite of LBP audiences, plays the challenging role of Judge Biddle, who functions “somewhere between lucidity and senility” and refuses to give in to ailments that affect his aging body. Kim Fisackerly plays Sarah Shore, an energetic, determined young woman, eager to tackle a new job. We welcome Kim, an experienced community theater performer, to her first appearance at LBP.
