SUMMARY:Mountain Theatre Company Presents Forever Plaid at Highlands PAC
DESCRIPTION:Once upon a time\, there were four guys (Sparky\, Smudge\, Jinx and Frankie) who discovered that they shared a love for music and then got together to become their idols – The Four Freshman\, The Hi-Lo’s and The Crew Cuts. Rehearsing in the basement of Smudge’s family’s plumbing supply company\, they became “Forever Plaid”. On the way to their first big gig\, the “Plaids” are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. It is at the moment when their careers and lives end that the story of Forever Plaid begins… \nSinging in close harmony\, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with overzealous precision\, the “Plaids” are a guaranteed smash\, with a program of beloved songs and delightful patter that keeps audiences rolling in the aisles when they’re not humming along to some of the greatest hits of all time.

SUMMARY:Mountain Theatre Company Presents Forever Plaid at Highlands PAC
DESCRIPTION:Once upon a time\, there were four guys (Sparky\, Smudge\, Jinx and Frankie) who discovered that they shared a love for music and then got together to become their idols – The Four Freshman\, The Hi-Lo’s and The Crew Cuts. Rehearsing in the basement of Smudge’s family’s plumbing supply company\, they became “Forever Plaid”. On the way to their first big gig\, the “Plaids” are broadsided by a school bus and killed instantly. It is at the moment when their careers and lives end that the story of Forever Plaid begins… \nSinging in close harmony\, squabbling boyishly over the smallest intonations and executing their charmingly outlandish choreography with overzealous precision\, the “Plaids” are a guaranteed smash\, with a program of beloved songs and delightful patter that keeps audiences rolling in the aisles when they’re not humming along to some of the greatest hits of all time.

SUMMARY:The Collapse of Trust in News and How to Win It Back at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:Trust in news is arguably at an all time low. Many Americans have lost confidence in the press\, citing concerns about bias\, sensationalism\, exaggeration or even deception. It’s tempting to look back to the days of Walter Cronkite with nostalgia. But this lecture will argue that the postwar era (1945-Watergate) was actually a historical aberration\, and that polarization in news today reflects older traditions in journalism including the hyper-partisan press of the early Republic\, penny press and the yellow press. Looking forward\, we’ll examine how trust in news has been lost and how serious\, committed journalists can win it back.

SUMMARY:Higher Education in the Political Cross Hairs? at Center for Life Enrichment
DESCRIPTION:Until recently\, a college degree was widely considered a reliable path to success in life. Higher education has now become a political and legal battlefield. To critics\, colleges and universities do not educate; they indoctrinate. Among the most significant issues at stake: the role of the Department of Education; political interference in academic governance; defunding academic departments or programs; restricting curriculum content; political bias in hiring and promotion; elimination of tenure; elimination of affirmative action and related DEI initiatives; transgender participants in sports; free speech and cancel culture; and the need for more skills-based content in college curriculums. Is the value of a college education in serious need of reconsideration? \nOur speakers have extensive experience as higher education leaders in both the private and public sectors. They will discuss how and why this debate emerged but also provide insight into the trajectory of the debate going forward.
