Songs for a New World is work of musical theater that sits on the boundary between musical and song cycle, but it is neither; it is an abstract musical, a series of songs all connected by theme rather than narrative. “It’s about one moment…” The McNally Smith College Musical Theater Ensemble invites you to become a part of this moment.
Friday, April 8 and Saturday, April 9, 8pm
Sunday April 10, 2pm
McNally Smith College of Music Auditorium

On the Horizon
The Lose Weight Feel Great Clothing and Food Exchange
Saturday, May 7 · 12:00pm – 3:00pm
“David’s Closet” @ David’s House
1407 10th Ave E.
Shakopee, MN
Join me at my house once a month to share, connect with and support your peers as you create a healthy weight for yourselves. It’s also a great venue to introduce the Take Shape for Life Program to a friend. So bring a buddy.
Every month will include a chance to swap your old big clothes for new skinny ones. You can also bring your less favorite Medifast Foods to exchange for ones you like better. I’ll have some cold beverage…s and food samples as well as a sampling of a delicious lean and green meal… a new one every month.
Monthly Clothing Exchange: All of my friends and their friends are getting skinnier with Take Shape for Life. Which is AWESOME! But it gets expensive replacing their wardrobe 2, 3 or 4 times along their weight loss journey. Everyone can help and get involved by opening up your closets and donating your ill-fitting clothes to David’s Closet. It’s open to everyone on a weight loss journey…and really who isn’t!
You can coordinate your donation drop off with me or bring them the day of the exchange. This is a free will donation and exchange program. Some months you will be blessed to have more to donate as you slim down and some months you will be blessed to find some great clothes to show off your new slimmer body.
