We welcome Dr. Roger Ellis, former director of theatre at GVSU to speak on: "Show Biz in greater Grand Rapids-- What's Happening?" Roger is a regular member of the BC for quite some time. He is retired as head of theatre at Grand Valley but will be traveling to do a theatre show out of state. As a performer-director-producer-and sometimes bottle washer, Rog has a keen eye on the theatre scene, as well as dance, opera and cultural happenings where we live. He has been invited to share some of the highlights in the near future and how we might enjoy these productions.

Invocator: Mr. Eric Nelson
Introducer: James Booth Burr, Jr., Esq.

Something from the Marx Brothers:

Groucho: "Go, and never darken my towels again."

Chico: "I wasn't kissing her, I was whispering in her mouth."

Harpo: .....

Karl: "Get out and leave me alone. Last words are for fools who haven't said enough already."   

-Last words of Karl (1818-1883, allegedly)
