Ukelele Club

We are a ukulele group that meets on Sundays from 4:00 -5:00 in the Superstition Room. Usually from mid October to the end of April.
We accept beginners and will help you get started if you have never played a ukulele or any instrument. Ukulele is one of the easiest instruments to learn. It only has four strings so really only 2/3 as hard to learn as a guitar.
We sing familiar songs from the 1950s and 60s. You don’t have to be able to read music. You don’t have to be a great singer. Just be someone open to learning something new and having lots of fun.
Ukulele, It’s Easier than You Think!

- Superstition Room

Village Playhouse
Village Playhouse
The Village Playhouse performed their first show in 2011. At that time all scenes or skits were memorized. With the creation of more clubs and activities, our performers were tasked with giving up other new activities, or giving up Playhouse. We figured out the best option for everyone would be to cut down on rehearsals and the time needed to memorize lines. In 2018 the Playhouse presented it’s first “Murder Mystery” and has continued that tradition ever since. We have no regular meetings but auditions for the show are usually held the latter part of January with the show being held in February. Rehearsal dates/times are discussed at auditions.
