S.T.E.M. class

Park District S.T.E.M. Course

The Geneseo Park District is hosting a three-week, hands-on class that will focus on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for grades K-5 beginning on October 6. The focus will be mind-bending and problem-solving with different themes each week. The class is sponsored in part by the Geneseo Foundation. Learn more and register.

Down to Earth on Oct. 17, 19 and 20

The fall play this year is “Down to Earth,” a comedy in which two full-fledged angels descend to earth to pick up two elderly souls. One is a tyrannical and miserly old lady who has amassed a fortune and is still looking for a way to take it with her - or she's not going. The other is an old man with nothing but his love for his cat and his flowers to cheer him up, and who is fully resigned to going. Tagging along with the two angels is a one-winged apprentice who is a master of mischief with a lot of heart. He has a knack for making people fall in love - including one very unlikely pair, the two old folks the angels have come to collect!

Performances will be on Thursday, October 17 at 7 p.m., Saturday, October 19 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, October 20 at 3 p.m. Tickets will only be available at the door for $10 each. “Down to Earth” is an original play written by Bettye Knapp and produced by special arrangement with Samuel French (samuelfrench.com).
