Help Refresh Springville with a Pepsi Grant

Are you familiar with ASAP?

It stands for Art City Substance Abuse Prevention.

Maybe you've seen them at events like the Skate Park Challenge

and Battle of the Bands during Art City Days?

They do the Prescription Drug Take Back events, too.

ASAP also started the "Mayor's Recognition Awards" where they recognize

youth in the City Council meetings for positive things they do

in the community.

"ASAP would like to implement an evidence based Positive Action program into our community. By implementing Positive Action, we can improve youth behavior along with reducing substance abuse by up to 71%. Please help us promote positive behavior among our youth by promoting Positive Action."

They have already been randomly selected for their idea and so it is now up to our community to help support them. Please VOTE for ASAP's idea so they can receive the funding they need.

Springville Playhouse Presents:

The Drowsy Chaperone

A Musical within a Comedy


This was my first time seeing all the talent
under the library.
The acting was extraordinary!
The singing superb!!
The dancing & choreography were excellent!!!

"The Drowsy Chaperone is presented to you as a cartoon caricature of a Jazz-age show of the 1920's. It spoofs those shows while at the same time paying homage to the power they held to transport us into a dazzling fantasy and to lifet our spirits in times of sadness. It is crammed full of every chliche, gag and gimmick from the golden age of musicals."

~The Director, Jay Knight

I loved the lively, witty cast.
The props were incredible.
Did I mention the vocals?!!
The colorful costumes and energy of the actors
were so amusing.
I especially loved the number,
"Show Off"
by Janet,
the glamorous bride who is giving up the stage for love.

After the play,
the audience gets to meet all the actors.
See Adolpho there?
The one with the gray streak in his hair.
He is hilarious and rocks the Latin accent!

The couple to be married in the play,
and married in real life!

It was a treat to meet these once-upon-a-time actresses
who are also sisters.
Nancy (on right) was in the very first play
performed in the Springville Playhouse in 1966!

I'm so proud of our Springville Playhouse!
And sadly, this is the last performance they will have
under the library.
The building is being torn down soon.
However,
there is a big effort going on to
Save the Rivoli,
the theater on Main Street now known as
the Villa Theater.
I also posted about it here.
Let's help save the Rivoli!!!!!

A booklet for sale at the playhouse,
detailing the last 65 years of history
of the Springville Playhouse.

If you'd like to donate to the restoration of the Rivoli,
go to savetherivoli.org

Have a lemonade stand!
Search your couch cushions!
Ask your mom!
Let's see what we can all do to
get the Rivoli restored and keep our beloved
Springville Playhouse cast going strong.

Save the Rivoli!

Where am I?
Can you guess?

A certain theater on Main Street.....
a certain theater in major need of some tlc......

This is yet another reason why I
am fanatically in awe of our city!
There are such great efforts going on
to keep our city beautiful & entertaining & preserved!

Can you just imagine how hoppin'
this place will be when it gets
restored & becomes a functioning theater again?!!!!!

Here is where you can get more info
on the theater efforts & how to help!
