Wednesday, May 8, 2019 - 12:00 p.m.

Release Stress through Holistic Wellness Did you know that 60% of all physical and mental health diseases are caused by stress, according to the American Medical

Association?

Stress is a normal reaction to experiences, people, and situations that can be both negative and positive which can be

managed in the moment with the right tools. The issue is chronic stress which causes our body to remain in a crisis state

because it hasn’t learned how to relax.

In this interactive class Paty will discuss what stress is and how it's stored in the body. Then she'll share her holistic wellness

assessment tool based on over 20 years of experience that identifies 7 main areas that can cause stress. Together we’ll

implement goals to release the stress naturally so you can live a quality of life that embraces health and happiness.

Doubt: Wednesday, May 22, 2019

Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for

“Best Play,” all elements come invigoratingly together like

clockwork in John Patrick Shanley’s provocative play Doubt, a

gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest’s behavior that is less

about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral

certainty. Doubt is blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of

empathy for all sides, and a powerful drama that represents the

eloquent and provocative investigation of truth and consequences.

Murder For Two: Wednesday, July 24, 2019

Mixing classic musical comedy with a dash of Agatha Christie,

everyone is a suspect in this house of eccentric characters unfazed

by the dead body on the floor. Murder for Two is a hilarious

musical murder mystery with a twist; one actor investigates the

crime, the other plays all 13 suspects, and they both play the piano!

A zany madcap musical mystery, this 90-minute whodunit is a

highly theatrical duet loaded with killer laughs.

Tickets are $45.00 and can be purchased at the Actor’s Playhouse

Box Office.

Mention that you are with the AAC group to receive your

discount.
