The foundation of vinyasa is linking breath to movement. In this invigorating class, you will create heat and energy in the body as you flow through a sequence of postures linked by breath. In addition to physical postures that build balance, strength, and flexibility, this class integrates pranayama breathwork and meditation to instill a sense of calm and relaxation. An extended savasana at the end of practice provides an opportunity to soak in these mind-body benefits. Whether you are newer to yoga or an advanced practitioner, different pose variations are given so you may practice at your own comfort level.

Stay up to date on our most recent class schedule, via our website: http://www.wellnessinmotionstudio.com/classes-and-events/class-calendar/

Slow flow yoga offers an opportunity for renewal through slower transitions between postures, longer holds and mindful movement with breath awareness. This class welcomes practitioners of all ability levels (ages 12 – adult) who are interested in slowing the mind-body down and supporting the restoration of balance.

We’re not saying it’s aliens…but there might be some extraterrestrial beings lurking around The Playhouse this September when “The Sugar Bean Sisters” takes the stage.

Written by Nathan Sanders, this oddball Southern Gothic comedy is filled with romance, murder, and alien abduction. The Nettles sisters are determined to escape spinsterhood—Willie Mae by going to Salt Lake and finding a good Mormon husband and Faye by hopping on the spaceship when the "space people" return for another visit.

We meet Faye and Willie Mae as they return home to their ramshackle swamp dwelling in Sugar Bean, Florida. They had a disastrous daytrip to Disney World where Willie lost her prized Eva Gabor wig on Space Mountain. That isn’t even the worst of it. Having witnessed the landing of an alien space craft some 25 years ago in her daddy's sugarcane field, Faye prepares for the return of her celestial visitors on this night, the very anniversary of that fateful day.

A disturbance in the sugarcane field lures the sisters outside to investigate, and Faye recalls how their infamous daddy claimed to have witnessed dead folk walking through Sugar Bean on a similar night many years before. A strange bird-like woman suddenly appears out of the darkness of Buster Swamp, setting in motion a chain of extraordinary events. Lies begin to unravel, and the truth is revealed as the Sugar Bean Sisters hatch a diabolical plot to ensure the space people's return.

Anita Burkhart is Faye Nettles, and Jeanne Nagurny is Willie Nettles. April Feagley makes her Playhouse debut as Videllia Sparks. Terry Ayers is Bishop Crumley, and Jennifer Powell is the Reptile Woman.

“Performing in a play at the playhouse has been an aspiration of mine for many years,” commented Feagley. “I always managed to find some reason not to audition, but when I saw the notice for Sugar Bean Sisters, I couldn't resist. I'm so glad to be learning from a team of seasoned actors and actresses who are absolutely wonderful mentors. The show is so quirky and fun. I can't wait for opening night.”

“The Sugar Bean Sisters” is directed by Keith Sutton and stage managed by Hunter McVey. Set design is by Keith Sutton and Don Dietz with sound design by Rick Brown. Lighting is by Keith Sutton with technical assistance by Barbara Hughes.

“I have enjoyed working with this talented cast,” added Sutton. “This is a zany but touching production, quite different from our usual offerings. It should prove to be a most entertaining evening.”

“The Sugar Bean Sisters” opens on September 13th and continues its run on September 14th, 19th, 20th, and 21st at 7:30 p.m. Sunday matinee showings are September 15th and 22nd at 2:00 p.m. Ticket prices are $15 for regular admission and $13 for seniors (age 60 and older) and students (age 6 and older). For reservations, please call 814-627-0311.

The acclaimed Paragon Ragtime Orchestra will accompany the silent films One Week, with Buster Keaton; Get Out And Get Under, with Harold Lloyd; and Easy Street, with Charlie Chaplin.

The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra is the world’s only year-round, professional ensemble re-creating “America’s Original Music” – the syncopated sounds of early musical theater, silent cinema, and vintage dance. The PRO came into being as the result of Rick Benjamin’s 1985 discovery of thousands of turn-of-the-century orchestra scores once belonging to Victrola recording star Arthur Pryor. In 1988 the Orchestra made its formal debut at Alice Tully Hall – the first concert ever presented at Lincoln Center by such an ensemble. Since then PRO has appeared at hundreds of leading arts venues, including the Ravinia Festival, the Smithsonian Institution, Chautauqua, the Brucknerhaus (Austria), the New York 92nd Street Y, and the American Dance Festival. In 1999 PRO’s music inspired master choreographer Paul Taylor’s new dance Oh You Kid! which was premiered at The Kennedy Center jointly by the Paul Taylor Dance Company and the Orchestra. In June, 2003 the PRO presented the premier of Rick Benjamin’s new reconstruction of Scott Joplin’s opera Treemonisha at San Francisco’s Stern Grove Festival. In 2005 and again in 2006, Paragon had the honor of being presented in Minneapolis’s Orchestra Hall as guests of the Minnesota Orchestra.

In addition to its worldwide concert hall, university, and festival appearances, the PRO has acquired a considerable following both here and abroad through its radio programs on the New York Times’ WQXR, National Public Radio, the British Broadcasting Corporation, and the Voice of America networks. Since 1989 the Walt Disney Company has relied on the Orchestra’s recordings for the outdoor theme music heard at Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland, Disney World, and Disneyland Paris; the PRO strengthened its international following during its extended engagement as a U.S. Ambassador of Goodwill at the 1992 World’s Universal Exposition in Seville, Spain.

Over the years the Paragon Ragtime Orchestra has been heard on the soundtracks of several motion pictures and television programs. The Orchestra’s audio and video recordings have been widely praised, and considered instrumental in rekindling interest in America’s rich traditions of theater, cinema, and dance orchestra music.
