The Drama Club of Magnolia Avenue will continue a presentation of short plays tonight at 7 p.m. in the Community Room.

Distance Learning Facilitator David Jones urged everyone to “come one, come all..”

Jones, as well as students Zoey Carter and Kelly Osbourne, have each written and directed their own play.

Jones said this will give PSCC students, faculty, staff and members of the community an opportunity to witness Pellissippi’s homegrown talent.

Jones is directing a  “The Brief Cases: Espionage” and says this play shows what happens when espionage exposes the underbelly of the Pellissippi “elite.”

“(It’s a) true story that’s completely fabricated,” said Jones.

The evening will also include performances of the student plays. Carter will showcase “Lovely Pancakes” and Osbourne will present “Dates That Blind.”

The shows began Tuesday, April 27, and will conclude with tonight’s performance.

There will be a question and answer period after the shows in which the directors will be open to field any questions the audience may have.

“Please come out and support this local talent. Who knows, you might just enjoy yourself,” said Jones.

Pellissippi yoga instructor, Betty Kalister, will host Relaxation Day tomorrow in the Community Room of the Magnolia Campus from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

“(This event) is designed for students, faculty and staff to take a few minutes out of their stressful day to relax and de-stress,” said Kalister.

Kalister will use diffused aromatherapy oils in the room and instruct participants in relaxation positions such as the recline twist and the supta baddha konsana. There will also be hot tea available to help in the relaxation process.

Kalister notes that this is an excellent opportunity for students, faculty and staff to relieve the stress of the end of the semester.

Kalister received her certified yoga instructor training from Yoga Alliance.  Her training was in Restorative Yoga Type (RYT).
