Join in making a positive statement through a simple art project. Trace your hand on a piece of cardboard, an old cereal box, a file folder or something sturdy. You may decorate it or add a word, thought, or phrase that conveys a positive message for building community.

Our goal is to collect 1,000 hands by the end of April to display throughout Sanford, from Crooms Academy to the RiverWalk, Magnolia Square, Goldsboro, and Ft. Mellon Park.

This simple act is rooted in the belief that WE have the power to make our community better by reaching out to work together, hand in hand.

Every Saturday in April from 9am to 11am, there will be a table set up at The Princess Theater at 115 W. 1st. to share materials (and camaraderie!) for those who want to make hands.  You can join others in creating a visible sign of our desire for a better community.

A drop off box will also be set up at Maya Books and Music in Magnolia Square for people to create hands on the spot and contribute to a positive movement for Sanford.

If you’d like to lend a hand in building a better Sanford, please join us and spread the word!

Invite your neighbors to join in. Your cashier at the grocery store, your librarian, your kids’ teachers, your choir director, your dentist, your barber, your veterinarian, the clerk at the 7-11. You get the idea. Who doesn’t want a better community?

Moon Over Buffalo

Chaos ensues when famed director Frank Capra notifies the leads of a jaded touring company that he might attend a performance in Buffalo, and they realize that they might finally have a chance at Hollywood fame after years of disappointment. This is the play that brought Carol Burnett back to Broadway after 30 years in 1995.

Auditions for Moon Over Buffalo will be June 3 and 4 at 6:00 to 9:00 PM at the Princess Theater.

The production will open July 27 and run through August 12, check back for show times and tickets.
