LEARN HOW THE “PILOTING PUzzLE” FITS TOGETHERSATURDAY JANUARY 11

The Peconic Bay Power Squadron will present “How to Have Fun, while finding your way on the water” at 1pm at West Marine in Riverhead. The session will also include a Q & A with squadron members. While this seminar is not part of the USPS University seminar series, it will examine how the subjects covered in the series like Charts, Compass, GPS, Depth Finders, RADAR, VHF Radio and more fit together and become the tools for a safe, fun day on the water. Many boaters understand the equipment they rely on most often, but few understand how the complete “Piloting Puzzle” fits together. A list of upcoming individual seminar topics and dates will be available for students who want to learn more. West Marine is located at 1089 Old Country Road in Riverhead. This seminar is presented FREE by the volunteer members of Peconic Bay Power Squadron. To learn more or to reserve your space, call Fred Smith at 631-298-1930 or visit www.PBPS.us

THE NORTH FORk COMMUNITY THEATRE 2014 SEASONFor more info and for Season Subscriptions visit www.nfct.com

Steel Magnolias — Jan.17 - Feb. 2Concerned with a group of gossipy southern ladies in a small-town beauty parlor, the play is alternately hilarious and touching-and, in the end, it draws on their underlying strength and love, which give the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest — Mar. 14 - 30Upon admittance to a mental institution, a brash rebel rallies the patients to take on the oppressive head nurse, a woman he views as more dictator than nurse. This comically sharp indictment of the establishment continues to be relevant today as it explores what is “normal.”Into the Woods — May 15 - June 1Into the Woods combines the well-known fairy tales of Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood with the story of the Baker and his Wife who desperately want a child but who have been cursed by childlessness by the Witch next door. To break the spell, they embark on a quest that brings togeth-er many popular fairy tale characters. What begins as a lively, irreverent fairy tale becomes a moving lesson about greed, happiness, and community responsibility.The Wedding Singer — July 24 - Aug. 10It’s 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Heart is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until his own fiancee leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. Enter Julia, a winsome waitress who wins his affection. As luck would have it, Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off theperformance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever.
