Morgan-Manning celebrates an historic birthday and a present-day volunteer by Doug Hickerson About 50 members of the Western Monroe Historical Society and their guests attended “Sara Manning’s Birthday Party” at the Morgan-Manning House on March 18. It was the 150th birthday celebration for Mrs. Manning, the last occupant of the historic home which bears her family’s name. The party concluded with honored guest, Alicia Fink, unveiling a reproduction of an original oil painting of Susan Morgan (Sara’s mother). The portrait will hang in the first-floor hallway to be included in tours of the home. The original oil painting was found deteriorated in the home’s attic.
Don Voorheis and Gordy Fox, respectively president and vice president of the Society, paid tribute to volunteer Alicia Fink for her many years of dedicated service to the Society and to the historic home. They praised her fund-raising skills, organizational abilities (including four years as Society board president), and countless hours of work on the many details involved in running a non-profit organization. Also, citing Ms. Fink’s decades of support for the school she adopted in the mountains of her native Ecuador, she was presented with a $1,000 contribution to the school. The gift came from donations by individual members of the Society’s board of trustees.
Tickets on sale for Brockport HS spring play “Silk and Cinders” Tickets are on sale now for the Brockport High School original production of “Silk and Cinders: A Cinderella Story.” Performances will be held in the Brockport High School auditorium April 20 and 21 at 7 p.m. “Silk and Cinders: A Cinderella Story” is a brand new musical for the whole family. It is a fun and funny mash up of the classic stories “Cinderella” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” “Silk and Cinders” was written by Julie and Dan Izzo (Brockport High School English teacher) with music by Kelly Izzo Shapiro (2008 graduate of Brockport High School). In the story, a vain and foolish king rules the kingdom where Cinderella endures the abuse of her stepmother and stepsisters. The king’s son, Prince Harry, detests his father’s selfishness and greed. He wants to help the people who are struggling under his
father’s oppressive rule but does not know how. The prince and Cinderella join to help each other, but things are not always what they seem and their happy ever after will surprise. “Silk and Cinders” was written to showcase the many multitalented students involved in the production. More than 50 students and staff from the high school came together to create the theatrical experience. This venture is the second original musical by the Izzo family. “Alice Unraveled” premiered at Brockport High School in 2010. It was later accepted and performed at the New York Musical Theatre Festival and critically acclaimed. Tickets are $5 and on sale at the high school greeter’s desk, online at showtix4u. com or at the door on the day of the show. Provided information
