CLC to launch Senior Readers Theatre

The Central Lakes College Theatre Department will hold an informational meeting about the new Senior Readers Theatre at 7 p.m. Jan. 17 in the Dryden Theatre on the Brainerd campus.

The program is designed for adults 50 and older. No previous theater experience is necessary.

The first production, a staged reading of the late Hal Anderson's book "Hiking with Hal," will be in March. "Hiking with Hal" is a collection of newspaper columns published for 35 years in the Dispatch in which Anderson reflects on the beauty of nature in the lake country.

The book was edited by Anderson's wife Doris and published in 2006.

For information, call Dennis Lamberson at 855-8202 or (800) 933-0346, ext. 8202.
