They are visited by their divorced, middle-aged daughter and her dentist fiancé, who leave his teenage son behind for the summer. The boy quickly becomes the “grandchild” the elderly couple has longed for. In the end, as the summer wanes and Norman and Ethel are brought even closer together by the incidence of a mild heart attack. Time, they know, is now against them, but the years have been good and, perhaps, another summer on Golden Pond still waits. By Ernest Thompson. Comedy.

Features an eclectic mix of local art. On display at the Art Gallery at Roanoke Island Festival Park. Held in memory of Mollie Fearing, one of the founders of the root organization from which DCAC arose. In 1975 a group of Dare county residents met at the home of Mollie Fearing where they set about founding an organization that would introduce thousands of school children and adults to music, dance, theatre, painting, sculpture, poetry and literature. The organization would initially be called the Sea and Sounds Arts Council and later, the Dare County Arts Council. Mollie Fearing was elected president of the Arts Council in 1975 and was a vital supporter and advocate of the arts until the time of her death on September 3, 1997. Mollie's contributions to the community were numerous, from serving as mayor for the Town of Manteo, to serving on the board of the Roanoke Island Historical Association, to her dedication to the arts. Mollie's legacy in our community remains strong to this day. Open to members and residents. Cash awards. Drop off and pick up dates for artwork will be announced at a later date. Opening Reception: Sunday, May 4, 2008 4-6 p.m. Please log on to darearts.org or call 252-473-5558 for more information.

15 | African American Lecture: "Cultural Impacts: Native Americans in America and Europeans among the Cherokee"
New Bern, Craven County
7:00 p.m., Tryon Palace Auditorium, FREE
Although most people are familiar with how the Native Americans adopted the white man's culture and became "Americanized", many are not aware of what we borrowed from the Indians. Guest speaker Dr. William Anderson of West Carolina University explores how they affected virtually every aspect of our lives today including language, government, literature, recreation, medicine, hygiene, and food. European impact on Cherokee culture was most devasting to nature. Europeans also influenced Cherokee politics and society and threatened their entire belief system. Their influence also brought dramatic changes in population size, settlement patterns, and men's and women's traditional roles. Although some European influences were positive, most were negative, and much of Cherokee culture is lost forever.
