Breaking Legs – The Mansfield Playhouse
(comedy written by Tom Dulack)
The worlds of the Mafia and the theatre clash hilariously when a professional playwright seeks funding for his new play from the family of a former student. The “family” turns out to be minor Mafia godfathers who are willing to underwrite the play provided they never have to read it. The fact that the lusty, unwed daughter of the house falls in love with the playwright only furthers his involvement with the Mob. This one is a crowd pleaser combing murder, pasta and laughter. Performances on Fridays and Saturdays Jan. 20, 21, 27 & 28 begin at 8:00 p.m. Sunday matinee performance on Jan. 29 begins at 2:30 p.m. Call the box office at 419-522-2883 for tickets or check our website at www.mansfieldplayhouse.com for our new on-line ticketing!

New Vision, Golden Age Program - Friendly House
11:30am - NEW VISION is a southern gospel group devoted to God, family, and friends. Siblings Trae Turner and Whitney (Turner) Smith and their Uncle Jeff Burton are from Butler, Ohio and are enthusiastic about the calling that God has placed upon their lives to present the gospel through song.
In answer to the call to share the message of Jesus Christ, New Vision's ministry began at their home church, Bunkerhill Baptist, where they sang regularly on Sunday mornings.
Influenced by other southern gospel groups such as Gold City, the Talley Trio, and the Crabb Family, New Vision fell in love with this genre of music. This family group believes in the southern gospel lyrics that glorify the name of Jesus, and bring listeners to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. - 380 N Mulberry St., Mansfield, OH 44902
