A BENEFIT GALA   “Island Support for Jenny”

at the CCA Community Center for the Arts 

6309 Church Street, Chincoteague

Chincoteaguer Jenny Somers has been involved as a behind-the-scenes volunteer for many years! You may know Jenny as the owner of Bayside Arts (open for many years on Main Street), as a tour guide on the Refuge service road, or as a familiar face at local art shows. She has also been a popular instructor at many art classes as well. Unfortunately, Jenny has been diagnosed with cancer again. We don’t want her to have to fight this alone… Our goal is to generate enough funds to give Jenny a financial cushion to help alleviate the stress of mounting medical bills and transportation costs while seeking treatment. Enjoy live music, an extensive array of hors d’oeuvres catered by Don’s Seafood, and a fundraising auction by Zeb Barfield that will include original artwork by her many friends and colleagues, gift certificates, and more. Doors open at 5:00 pm, auction begins at 7:00pm… Hors d’oeuvres and soft drinks included (plus cash bar available). Tickets are $20.00 and may be purchased at www.chincoteagueca.org 

or for check or cash at Sundial Books on Main Street.

Robert Reed Downtown Waterfront Park 

(Christ United Methodist Church Hall in case of rain)
Co-sponsored by CIAO and CCA and performed by the Brown Box Theatre Project.

Free outdoor Shakespeare returns with the political tragicomedy Measure for Measure. What happens when corruption reaches the highest level of court? Explore the price of principle, and witness what happens when the law is bent by those who serve to uphold it. A duke in disguise leaves the fate of his people in the hands of a ruthless judge. A loyal sister is faced with an important decision: save the life of her brother, or uphold her honor? Join us for Shakespeare’s timeless tale of deception, virtue, and honor, and decide for yourself whether justice is served.
