THE WOMAN IN BLACK is a 1987 stage play, adapted by Stephen Mallatratt. The play is based on the 1983 book of the same name by English author Susan Hill. Arthur Kipps, an attorney, is sent to handle the estate of the deceased Mrs. Drablow. He makes the trip to her funeral in a bleak and lonely part of England, where all of his enquiries into the details of her estate and her family are met with silence. At the funeral, Kipps alone observes a strange young, ghastly‐looking woman dressed in black. The next morning, Kipps is taken to Mrs. Drablow’s eerie Eel Marsh house. The house is reached by way of a narrow causeway that is passable only during low tide. As Kipps investigates the house and the surrounding property, he again sees the woman in black, but is unable to follow her. His apprehension and fear grow. As he cautiously explores the inside of the house, he uncovers a large number of documents and information he must sift through in order to settle Mrs. Drablow’s affairs. His efforts reveal secrets and unexplainable events. Who is this woman in black? Why are the townspeople so hesitant to answer his questions? What happens to haunt Kipps years later? As Kipps and an actor he hires to help tell his story, struggle to tell it all and exorcise both their demons, we learn the chilling answer to these questions ‐‐ and more.

Taco Bell’s $10 Nacho Fries Lover’s Pass is back for a limited time through Monday, December 2, 2024.The pass is only available to Taco Bell Rewards members through the Taco Bell mobile app. From the purchase date, the Nacho Fries Lover’s Pass is good for 30 consecutive days of free regular Nacho Fries (one per day), except on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas.

Taco Bell offered the same deal around this time last year. It’s basically a 30-day subscription for fries.
Square One Salon and Spa Celebrates 25 Years
Square One Salon and Spa, a cornerstone of beauty and wellness in Ohio communities, announces its 25th anniversary on November 15, 2024. Founded in 1999 in downtown Dayton, Square One has grown to serve six locations across Ohio while remaining firmly committed to local ownership and operation, exceptional client care, staff development, and community engagement.
Joshua Stucky, Brent Johnson and Doug Henderson

We’re not just a business in these communities; we’re neighbors, friends, and active community members dedicated to bringing out the best in the people and the communities we are so privileged to serve.”
The public is invited to join in the celebration by sharing their Square One memories on social media using the hashtag #SquareOne25 and by visiting any Square One location during the anniversary month to say hello.
ALMOST, MAINE at Dayton Playhouse
On a cold, clear winter night with the northern lights illuminating the sky, the residents of Almost find themselves navigating the complexities of love in unexpected and often humorous ways. The play captures moments of romance, heartbreak, and the magical realism that adds a touch of whimsy to the storytelling.”Almost, Maine” is a play written by John Cariani that takes place in the fictional town of Almost, which is located in a remote, northern part of the United States. The setting is quirky, as Almost is not quite a town due to its lack of organization, and it’s almost in Canada. The play consists of a series of nine interconnected vignettes, each portraying a different aspect of love.

WYSO Launches Music-Only Streaming Channel
WYSO Public Radio, a nonprofit, community-owned public radio station serving Southwest Ohio with news, music and storytelling, has launched a music-only streaming channel called Novaphonic.
The channel can be accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week by streaming online at novaphonic.fm or by broadcast on any HD radio.
With this dual-channel model, WYSO’s existing music programming—such as “Midday Music,” “Around the Fringe” and “Tables of Content”—will be simulcast on WYSO and Novaphonic, meaning there will be no interruption to the current WYSO schedule.
However, when WYSO begins a news show such as “Morning Edition” or “All Things Considered,” Novaphonic will continue to air locally hosted music shows. The result will be a 24/7 schedule of music curated by the WYSO music team and reflective of music and musicians from our region and beyond, and from numerous genres.
Juliet Fromholt
“Our goal is to support a community of musicians and music fans and for that community to feel welcoming and inclusive. Diversity is an essential part of our daily mix of music,” said Juliet Fromholt WYSO’s Music Director (left). “When we say ‘Roots,’ we’re talking about bluegrass and folk, country and Americana. Rock sounds obvious on the surface but gets richer when we think about everything from punk to indie rock and everyone from Big Mama Thorton to David Bowie to St. Vincent and the Linda Lindas. Rhythm is hip-hop, yes, but it’s also jazz, R&B, soul and of course some Dayton Ohio Funk! Pop music on Novaphonic takes those catchy hooks and melodies from mainstream music and puts them in the hands of artists on the fringes of it. So think Bjork, Sylvan Esso, Bartees Strange and Mitski. And world music brings us sounds and songwriting from artists whose musical traditions and influences find their home in many places, but especially the global South.”
More information, including the full program schedule for Novaphonic and a link to listen online, can be found at novaphonic.fm.
Fall Bird Walk
We’ll finish our bird walks for the year looking for year-round residents, and winter birds like White-throated Sparrow and Brown Creeper. Bring your binoculars and dress for the weather. The walk is slow-paced, and mostly stays on the road surface, but sometimes does venture “off-trail” into the grass. All ages welcome. The tour will meet at the Eichelberger Plaza at the main gates of the cemetery.
Your nature guide will be Amanda Lawson, an Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist.
All tours require a reservation and there is a suggested $5 donation. All donations support the Woodland Arboretum Foundation which focuses on the restoration, preservation, horticultural and educational projects needed to keep Woodland a cultural resource for Dayton and Ohio.
