Radium Girls Auditions

Auditions are being held for Radium Girls, directed by Debbie Emling. Audition sides will be available on site, and a character breakdown is available. Additional details will be shared. The play by D. W. Gregory is inspired by the real history of dial painters in the 1920s who worked with radium-based paint. Workers were told to refine their brushes with their lips, which led to poisoning as the risks of radium were not yet understood. Public enthusiasm for radium, bolstered by Madame Curie’s reputation, obscured the danger until doctors began to uncover its harmful effects. In 1928, five women in New Jersey filed a lawsuit that ended in a settlement, and their experiences shape the story portrayed on stage.

The practice can serve as a grounding ritual for first harvest observances, for connecting with ancestors, or for gentle grief work.

An intimate evening with Hank Woji & Roy Schneider

Settle into a living room style concert where two veteran singer songwriters trade songs, swap stories, and share the inspirations that shaped their music. Hank Woji and Roy Schneider blend conversation with performance to reveal the creative paths behind their work. They tip their hats to touchstones like the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and the Beatles, then follow with originals that carry those threads forward. Expect shared vocals and traded verses, plus a rare peek at how meaningful songs leave a lasting mark. More than a standard show, the format echoes a songwriter circle with an intimate, story driven flow. Hank Woji began as a bassist in Asbury Park during the 1980s and 90s, later moving to Texas and embracing Americana as a songwriter. A relocation to Terlingua helped shape his sound, and his sixth album, Highways, Gamblers, Devils and Dreams, drew praise from Anais Mitchell. In 2023 it entered the Euro Americana chart at number 5 and the U.S. FAI Folk Music chart at number 3, and his recording of Terlingua Blues was featured on a Texas Monthly Big Bend playlist that January. With more than 25 years on the road, he has performed with artists including Sarah Lee Guthrie, Butch Hancock, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, and Pete Seeger, appearing solo, in small ensembles, and with his TexAmericana Jam Band, the Hank Woji Conspiracy. Roy Schneider, founder of Reckless Saints, turned fully to music at 16 after escaping a program that had barred him from playing. He taught himself songs by Dylan, the Dead, and the Beatles, later balancing art and music as a single father, a Happy Meal toy designer, and the creator of the syndicated comic strip The Humble Stumble. His originals have made him a three-time Kerrville New Folk finalist. He performed on national television during Season 5 of The Voice, and has opened for or accompanied John McEuen, Charlie McCoy, Joe Craven, Malcolm Holcombe, Verlon Thompson, Freebo, Buddy Mondlock, and Tom Paxton.

Running Scared 5K Pumpkin Run

Runners converge at Florida Gulf Coast University for the Running Scared 5K Pumpkin Challenge, a spirited fundraiser for Special Olympics Florida. This twist on a traditional 5K asks participants to carry a pumpkin during the race. Pumpkins placed along the course range from smaller near the beginning to larger farther along, so you decide whether to go lighter for a longer stretch or choose a heavier gourd for a shorter carry. The pumpkin selected becomes a take-home keepsake for the season. A festive atmosphere surrounds the finish with community activities and post-race celebrations. Awards honor the top three overall male and female finishers, as well as the top three male and female runners in age groups 0 to 10, 11 to 19, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, 60 to 69, and 70 and older. Every participant receives a Running Scared shirt and a finisher medal. Packet pickup is available at Fleet Feet Fort Myers ahead of race day and also on site before the start.
