Girls’ Weekend is back by popular demand! So in case you missed this hilarious play the first time, or you just want to come back for more laughs, or “more wine anyone?”, Wisconsin Heights Players adult theater group is bringing it back to the stage! Performances will once again be at the Mazomanie Community Building, 9 Brodhead Street. Showtimes will be August 6 at 7p.m. and August 8 at 4 p.m. Girls’ Weekend, written by Karen Schaeffer, takes audiences to Dot’s Northwoods cabin where four women tell everyone they’re going on a trip for book club. However, after the third case of wine comes through the door, it becomes clear there will be more stewing than reviewing. As bottles tip up, secrets spill out and men sneak in. (Adult content: not recommended for children.) Tickets are available for $10, either online through the Wisconsin Heights Players Facebook event page, Eventbrite, or at the door. Beer, Wine, Soda & Water will be available for purchase at concessions. Please support local theater. Left to right, on the couch is Taran Lancaster and Cathy Campbell, and behind the couch is Aniela Haas, Lydan Haas, Jodie Szudy, Andy Szudy, and Eric Ripp. Missing from the photo: Nick Roberson.

The Arena Village Board held their annual employee appreciation picnic at the Arena Park earlier this month.  Those present were Arena Police Chief Nicholas Stroik, officer Stephanie Benisch, clerk/treasurer DaNean Naeger, public works superintendent Mike Schmidt, public works staff member Andrew Bauer, and village president Kate Reimann.  Missing was officer Wyatt Miller. “We all enjoyed a BBQ potluck and conversation.  The Village of Arena has a very competent staff and their hard work is very much appreciated,” Reimann said and continued, “I am so delighted with our staff.”
