 :. .The Arts htl Healthicare at Advent
 SChristilan Village (ACV) is pleased to
 host, its seventh bi-ahnnxal Coffee
 SConcert7-on. Monday, March 23, a't
 .0O:b;0 atm. in Rumph 'Dining Roo~m.
 SThe concett, a the tre production en-
 ~ titled "'Stuart Little", will feature the
 Sseven-member Valdosta State Uni-
 Sversity Youth Touring Group. Cof,
 fehe, hot tea, and pastries wvill be
 served prior to the concert beginning
 at 9:0p a~m. in Rumnph Dining Room.
 :This production is based on the
 -E.B..White classic and is an adapta-
_ tion by Joseph Robinett, featuring a
 iouse named Stuart who is -born
  into an ordinary New York family-.
..-. His mnany advenutures, both big and
 :small, illustrate his ability to fight
 against odds as he accomplishes
 great feats.
 One review states, "'Director Jim-


pny Bickerstaff creates .an imagina-
tive play that smoothly keeps the
laughs and delight coming."' The act-
ing -ensemble plays many human
and animal roles in a series of: de-
lightful scenes that make up the mar-
velous maneuverings of a mild-man-
nered.moulse trying to survive in a
real people's world.
 The ACV Coffee Concert Series
takes place'on a bi-annual basis and
has been established! in me~moryr of
Mrs. Velma Wilcox. The purpose of
this memorial endowment -is to
specifically support and foster day-
time music concerts that take place at
ACV, and they will be open to the 4
public at no charge. Please make
plans to .attend this very~ special
event in the life of the arts here in
Dowtling Park!
