"Cliffhanger" opens Labor Day Weekend at Lofte Theatre
Manley, NE [August 17, 2011] - Combine the warmth and charm of "On Golden Pond" with the plot twists of "Deathtrap." Cliffhanger is an old-fashioned thriller with a little bit of heartbreak and hearty laughs.
This comedy/thriller, written by James Yaffe is the story of Henry Lowenthal (Bob Pinkerton of Weeping Water) who is looking forward to being appointed to an endowed chair position at his small college so that he and his wife can enjoy their golden years with honor. However, their plans are given a jolt when a ruthlessly ambitious woman informs Henry that she is not recommending him for the chair position.
Directed by Kevin Colbert, the cast also includes Cheryl Grimshaw and Melinda Mead of Plattsmouth, Joshua P. Smith of La Vista and Benjimam Pettiford of Lincoln.
Murder! Mayhem! Blackmail! Find these things and more at the Lofte Community Theatre September 3, 4, 9-11, and 15-18. Tickets are $17. Please contact the Lofte box office at (402) 234-2553 or purchase online at www.Lofte.com.

Decisions, decisions for poor Maggie.
Casey and Andy Clements and Erin and Jeff Clymer have been very involved with the project.
The Elmwood Meat Plant donated the meat for the event. Chris Cramer and his wife were on hand to help out.
Erin would just like to assure everyone she was using plastic gloves for serving. She is so health conscious!
The crowd lined up for a great meal.
Kylee waits patiently for her lunch.
Everyone was talking about the proposed changes.
Just not enough hands to handle all this food!
I'm not sure but this looks like an impromptu watermelon seed spitting competition.
The kids played on the equipment but have no idea what the adults are planning for them.
Marie Gregoire explains the proposed changes to the interested people.
Jeff Clymer also explaining the proposed changes.
Interesting...very interesting.
A Fishing Tale....and proof to back it up.
Jason Bevans and his son, Colt, were fishing with Brody Baer and they did it again! This time they caught 5 fish and the secret fishing hole is still a secret.
