Q: Simple Game in C# with only native libraries I could find a set of java 2D game tutorials and android game tutorials which uses only native graphics libraries.
I'm looking for something similar in C# ( without DirectX or XNA)
I found this game loop skeleton , but it doesn't tell how to Render the Graphics.
Target is to simulate a simple Electronic device.I need to show some graphical output as user "presses" some keys on the keyboard quickly.Hence it looks like an arcade game.
For example As the user presses one of the arrow keys a pointer(an image) will move accordingly.
I guess I can't do this with typical Windows Forms Application can I?
For example use a PictureBox control and move it in KeyPress event of the Form.

A: Here's a simple game using WinForms and a Timer, using Graphics to draw (encapsulates GDI+).
It adds a timer that 'ticks' every 10 milliseconds. Each tick it performs game logic, then draws to an off screen bitmap. This is as opposed to using a continual loop as in the example in the link.
The form handles key events separately (as opposed to doing something like GetKeyState)
When the form is resized, and when it first loads it'll create the backbuffer bitmap of the right size.

Create a new form and replace all code with below. Control the ball using arrow keys. There's no notion of dying.
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsGame
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        Bitmap Backbuffer;

        const int BallAxisSpeed = 2;

        Point BallPos = new Point(30, 30);
        Point BallSpeed = new Point(BallAxisSpeed, BallAxisSpeed);
        const int BallSize = 50;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            this.SetStyle(
            ControlStyles.UserPaint |
            ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint |
            ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer, true);

            Timer GameTimer = new Timer();
            GameTimer.Interval = 10;
            GameTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(GameTimer_Tick);
            GameTimer.Start();

            this.ResizeEnd += new EventHandler(Form1_CreateBackBuffer);
            this.Load += new EventHandler(Form1_CreateBackBuffer);
            this.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(Form1_Paint);

            this.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(Form1_KeyDown);
        }

        void Form1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Left)
                BallSpeed.X = -BallAxisSpeed;
            else if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Right)
                BallSpeed.X = BallAxisSpeed;
            else if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Up)
                BallSpeed.Y = -BallAxisSpeed; // Y axis is downwards so -ve is up.
            else if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Down)
                BallSpeed.Y = BallAxisSpeed;
        }

        void Form1_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
        {
            if (Backbuffer != null)
            {
                e.Graphics.DrawImageUnscaled(Backbuffer, Point.Empty);
            }
        }

        void Form1_CreateBackBuffer(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (Backbuffer != null)
                Backbuffer.Dispose();

            Backbuffer = new Bitmap(ClientSize.Width, ClientSize.Height);
        }

        void Draw()
        {
            if (Backbuffer != null)
            {
                using (var g = Graphics.FromImage(Backbuffer))
                {
                    g.Clear(Color.White);
                    g.FillEllipse(Brushes.Black, BallPos.X - BallSize / 2, BallPos.Y - BallSize / 2, BallSize, BallSize);
                }

                Invalidate();
            }
        }

        void GameTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            BallPos.X += BallSpeed.X;
            BallPos.Y += BallSpeed.Y;

            Draw();

            // TODO: Add the notion of dying (disable the timer and show a message box or something)
        }
    }
}

A: If you want to make dynamic drawings, you can use the WPF Canvas for these purposes. It doesn't support gaming or such, but it is a simple way of drawing primitive forms and images as you would do in a website.

A: The native rendering framework for .NET winforms apps is GDI+. There are many tutorials online for drawing simple shapes/graphics using GDI+

Kevin Rooney retires at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame after 40 years as football coach
Kevin Rooney announced his retirement on Monday after 40 years as football coach at Sherman Oaks Notre Dame.
(Eric Sondhiemer / Los Angeles Times)
By Eric SondheimerColumnist
In an era when coaches come and go based on championships won, players sent to colleges or the number of complaints made by parents, Kevin Rooney and Sherman Oaks Notre Dame had a marriage made in heaven.
Rooney arrived 40 years ago from Northern California, unknown in the San Fernando Valley. He left Monday after announcing his retirement as Notre Dame football coach as one of the most respected, successful high school coaches in California history.
It was more than the 316 wins, four Southern Section championships and 16 league titles that elevated Rooney's tenure. It was more than the type of players he helped produce, from Justin Fargas to Travis Johnson, from Dayne Crist to Giancarlo Stanton. It was his class, integrity and the life lessons he passed on that made the greatest impact at Notre Dame and was the reason the school stayed with him no matter whether there was a great season or losing season.
"It's time to do something else and let somebody do this great job," Rooney said. "It's just been a great experience. It's definitely a very challenging job and you need people around you who are loyal, positive and supportive. I had that."
Notre Dame has not announced a replacement, and the big question is whether defensive coordinator Joe McNab will be interested in the position. He has been Rooney's top assistant for 39 years and also Notre Dame's successful track coach. He was the interim coach for several games in 2018 when Rooney had to step away after the death of his wife.
Jeff Kraemer, who served for more than 30 years as an assistant to Rooney, said, "Kevin Rooney is a one in 1 million person and coach. He taught me life lessons while being a championship coach. There is no one with more class than Kevin."

An ADE model is a genetic model for twin studies which includes dominance genetic effects. Biometrical genetic modeling of twin or other family data can be used to decompose the variance of an observed response or phenotype into genetic and environmental components. Convenient parametrizations requiring few random effects allow such models to be estimated using widely available software for linear mixed models (continuous phenotypes) or generalized linear mixed models (categorical phenotypes).

A stands for additive genetic effects, D for non-additive genetic (or dominance) effects, and E for nonshared environment effects.

Q: Power for my US laptop in Europe I just bought a MacBook Pro in USA. I will get it home in Greece (220V, 50Hz).
What is the usual thing to do, without having to buy a whole new charger? Maybe I can find only the cable somewhere?

Edit:
An adapter, like the one suggested should do the trick, but I will have to carry that with me forever. So, I think it makes sense to check if the thing I have circled can be bought (it seems it can be removed (thus if I can buy a European one, Type C, I will be able to insert it there)):

A: You could purchase the "Apple World Travel Adapter Kit" from an Apple Store or from Apple.com before you leave. I do not know if this kit is available overseas (not the US). $39
EDIT #1:
You could also purchase this adapter for only $9. It's much cheaper, and appears to work in Greece. $9
EDIT #2:
If you want just the piece that goes into the existing charger, check out this US to Europe Converter. $5


The first time you run Intego Virus Barrier, you will be asked what level of protection you would like to enable. The default protection level is quite suitable and is recommended for most users, but two additional options are provided. Just select one of these default coverage levels and you're done!
All of the default protections that you would have selected in first run will turn real-time scanning on. This means that Virus Barrier will constantly be watching as files get changed or added to your Mac. This ensures that malware does not find its way on to your system without your knowledge.
The Basic Help overlay will appear once you have chosen a level of protection for the first time. This overlay points out the main features of VirusBarrier. (Note: You can access this Basic Help menu at any time by clicking Help in your top menu bar and selecting Basic Help).
VirusBarrier's anti-malware protection works in several ways. Its Real-Time Scanner constantly watches over your Mac, protecting you from viruses and malware. The Real-Time scanner ensures that your Mac is protected at all times by scanning every file that is created, copied, modified or saved. It does not, however, scan other files. This is why we suggest you run a full scan of all your files when you install VirusBarrier and after each update to the program's virus definitions.
You can also use VirusBarrier's On-Demand scanner to check any file, folder, disk, or volume on your Mac.
You can run a manual Full Scan with VirusBarrier whenever you want. You should do this immediately after installation to ensure that you don't have any infected files; the VirusBarrier Setup Assistant offers to do this after you first set up the program. After that, VirusBarrier's Real-Time scanner ensures that any new files you add to your Mac are safe.
VirusBarrier lets you run Quick Scans, which scan only those locations where malware is commonly installed. The files and folders scanned may change as new malware appears, and the locations scanned may be different with newer versions of VirusBarrier's virus definitions.
To run a Quick Scan, launch VirusBarrier and click the Quick Scan button. (Note: The Quick Scan button only appears when you select your entire computer in the left column).
If you want to scan only a single volume connected to your computer using VirusBarrier, you can highlight the volume in the left column of the window and click the Scan button.
When a malware is found you will be notified immediately. It depends somewhat on what malware is detected, but you will generally have 3 options. You can choose to Trust, Quarantine or Repair the malware. If you want VirusBarrier to repair the file, click Repair; to put it in the Quarantine Zone, click Quarantine. (See the Quarantine section later in this manual for more details.) If you do not want to do anything, click Trust, and the file will not be repaired.
WARNING: Ignoring virus warnings can be dangerous! Only select to not repair files if you are sure of what you are doing.
To turn off the Real-Time Scanner, move the Real-Time Scanner slider to OFF; you can turn it back on by moving the slider to ON. In normal operation, you will not need to disable the Real-Time Scanner; this is only useful for troubleshooting when you have a problem with your Mac.
Ask what to do: this is most appropriate when you're running a virus scan on an "attended" Mac; that is, one that you're watching closely enough to see the alert when it pops up. Note that if you don't respond to an alert within one minute, VirusBarrier places infected files in the Quarantine Zone.
Place file in quarantine: this ensures that the file cannot be opened or read. See the Quarantine Zone section below for more about using the Quarantine Zone.
Attempt to repair: this tells VirusBarrier to attempt to remove the malware. If for any reason the file cannot be repaired it will be placed in the Quarantine Zone.
In addition, you can choose to have VirusBarrier send you an e-mail whenever it discovers a virus or malware. To set this up, check the Send e-mail to checkbox, then enter your e-mail address and click OK.
Once you have switched the Schedule to "On", you can create Daily or Weekly scans for any time you like.
Clicking the Advanced button allows you to customize your Scheduled Scans. For example, you can choose to scan specific files or folders, and create multiple Scheduled Scans if necessary.
If you don't want to repair files automatically, you can have VirusBarrier put them in its Quarantine Zone. When files are quarantined, they can't be opened or read, ensuring that they cannot infect your Mac. This is useful for administrators who want to check files before running VirusBarrier's repair functions.
VirusBarrier automatically places files in the Quarantine Zone if you don't respond to an alert within one minute. You can then check these files and decide what to do. The Quarantine tab at the top of VirusBarrier's Overview screen shows you which files are quarantined.
You'll see a display that shows which files are in the Quarantine Zone, as well as a group of buttons allowing you to act on those files. To act on any of the files, select them and then click one of the three buttons at the bottom right of the window.
Trust tells VirusBarrier that you think this file is not infected, and adds the file to VirusBarrier's Trusted Files list. This may occur for false positives. However, be very careful when you click this button: only do so if you are sure the file is safe. If not, it may infect your entire Mac. Probably a bad idea.
Delete removes the file from your Mac.
Repair tells VirusBarrier to remove the malware from the file.
You can also see the file location path for the quarantined file in the bottom left corner of the window.
VirusBarrier is designed to work unobtrusively in the background once it's installed. However, it has numerous options to let you control how its various functions run. You set these options in the Preferences window, which you reach either by choosing VirusBarrier > Preferences... or by pressing Command-comma on your keyboard.
The Preferences window is divided into five panes: General, Scanner, Trusted Items, Advanced, and Feedback.
Scan e-mails VirusBarrier scans incoming and outgoing e-mails, both for their content and any attachments they contain, during manual scans.
Scan iPhone, iPod touch and iPad tells VirusBarrier to show any iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad that is connected to your Mac when you run a manual scan so you can choose to scan the device for malware. If this option is unchecked, VirusBarrier will not show any iOS devices in the main window.
Scan volumes when they are mounted is triggered whenever you mount a new storage device, whether local (such as a hard drive) or remote (such as a network drive). If the Ignore read-only volumes checkbox is checked, VirusBarrier will perform the action only on those volumes where it could change the drive being scanned (for example, to repair an infected file on a disk).
After malware definition updates:, lets you tell VirusBarrier what to do after the program downloads and installs new virus definitions. Virus definitions are updated regularly, and especially when new malware is discovered to offer protection against that threat. Therefore, you should perform a new scan at those times to check for the new malware, either manually or (by checking this checkbox) automatically.
Mac OS X malware: this is dimmed, because it is always active. VirusBarrier always scans for Mac OS X malware. This includes all types of malware that affects Mac OS X, such as Word and Excel macro viruses; the other categories are types of malware that cannot harm Mac OS X.
Linux malware: if this is checked, VirusBarrier will scan for malware that affects the Linux operating system.
Hacking tools are malicious programs that may not directly harm your Mac, but that may be used by hackers to attack other computers. It is especially useful to check this option if your Mac is publicly accessible.
Keyloggers are programs that record all your keystrokes. While some such programs may be malicious, others may be installed intentionally to monitor computer users, such as children. If this is checked, users being monitored may be alerted to the existence of such software on their Mac.
The first option, Remove quarantine marker after scanning uninfected files, tells VirusBarrier to remove a quarantine marker set by Mac OS X when applications are downloaded and VirusBarrier has found that they are not infected by any malware. This removes the Mac OS X dialog warning you that they were downloaded and asking if you're sure you want to open them.
The second option, Behavioral Analysis, tells VirusBarrier to use Behavioral Analysis to keep an eye on suspicious activities performed by applications. If any application does anything that could be considered abnormal (such as deleting a large number of files, for example), VirusBarrier will alert you to this.
Archives contain one or more files, usually in a compressed format, so that they can be transferred easily and quickly. VirusBarrier will look inside several popular types of archives, scanning not only the archive file itself, but also the files that it contains.
By default, VirusBarrier will scan all archive types that it understands; however, you could choose to scan only certain archive types by unchecking different types of archives in the Archive Options list.
The Archive timeout setting lets you tell VirusBarrier to stop scanning archives that take more than a certain amount of time to uncompress and scan. By default, this is set to 60 seconds. However, any files that have been uncompressed before the end of this timeout will be scanned.
VirusBarrier offers the option to add files, folders or volumes to a list of Trusted Items. VirusBarrier will assume that these files are all safe and will not scan them. You should only use this for files that have already been scanned by VirusBarrier.
Adding a folder or volume tells VirusBarrier to trust all files contained in the selected item, including in any subfolders it contains.
Security: If you check Require administrators to authenticate in order to make changes to settings, only those users who can enter an administrator's password can make any changes to VirusBarrier's settings.
Intego software periodically collects information about how features in its products are used to help improve their quality and reliability. All information collected is fully anonymous and cannot be used to personally identify any particular user or their behavior.
There is no action required on your part for information to be collected. You will not need to fill out any surveys and will not be contacted by Intego regarding this information.
The VirusBarrier log shows a record of malware activity that VirusBarrier has observed, including all manual and scheduled scans, and the results of these scans. You can filter it to highlight issues of interest.
To access the malware log, choose Window > Logs from the top Menu bar, or press Command-Option-L.
The log looks as follows, although of course your log will show different entries from this one.
The colored dots in the leftmost column show you what types of entries are displayed in the log. Green dots indicate information, such as starting the real-time scanner or updating virus definitions. Orange dots are for warnings, such as stopping the real-time scanner. Red dots indicate threats, such as when infected or corrupted files are found. The files, folders or volumes selected for each scan are named, as are all problems found.
You can copy any log items by selecting them and pressing Command-C; you can then paste them into another application, if needed.
You can clear the entire log by clicking the Clear... button.
To clear the log, and erase all information it contains, click the Clear... button in the lower-left corner. A dialog appears, asking you to confirm your request.
When you launch NetUpdate, you will be notified if updates are available for your software, or if your software is up to date.
Intego software comes with a license that allows you to use the software on at least one Mac (standard license), three Macs, or even more if you have a business license. When you install Intego software on one of your Macs and serialize it, that Mac is considered to be authorized for one seat of your license. If you have multiple copies of the software installed, and wish to use it on a different Mac, you will need to deauthorize the software for one Mac and serialize it on another Mac.
Remember to deauthorize your Intego software if you sell one of your Macs and wish to use the software on a new Mac.

Wikimedia Jawaharlal Nehru signing the Indian constitution in 1950.
SRI RAM SHARMA, Professor of History and Politics, Dayanand College, Sholapur, University of Poona; President of the Indian Political Science Association.
INDIA joined the liberal forces of the world on January 26, 1950, as a sovereign democratic republic. Under her new constitution, enacted two months earlier, not only does she owe no allegiance to any ruling house, but she has wiped away that miscellaneous collection of ruling princes, chieftains, estate-holders and whatnots that disfigured her till 1947. Had she become a federation under the Government of India Act of 1935, there would have been 568 units in the area now in the Indian Union, 559 of them under princes and princelings. Today there are only 16 units of the federation and not one of them is under the rule of a hereditary prince. Though a republic, India has been welcomed as a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, and the British Parliament has passed an act allowing her nationals full rights of British citizenship in Great Britain. She is a sovereign state espousing international causes in her own right and fighting battles for humanity and peace after her own fashion.
India is not only a republic but a democratic republic. All her adult citizens possess the vote, she has outlawed inequality of sexes, her constitution recognizes no class barriers, her polity guarantees freedom of opinion, assembly and association. A rational distribution of national income is an avowed object of her endeavor. Her railways, telephones, telegraphs and broadcasting services have been nationalized. During the last three years she has, over a large area, made the tillers of the soil proprietors of the land they cultivate. If she is going slowly in the nationalization of her means of production just now, that is because she does not believe in biting off more than she can chew.

Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CCE)
What Does Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CCE) Mean?
The calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) serves as the general basis of expressing hardness concentration and other elements, such as salts, in equivalent chemical terms to streamline various calculations.
The term simply means that the dissolved mineral concentration is chemically equivalent to the declared calcium carbonate concentration.
Corrosionpedia Explains Calcium Carbonate Equivalent (CCE)
Calcium carbonate equivalent is one of the key components in agricultural lime. There are other chemicals that are present, depending on the source of mineral. It is a vital component of liming due to many reasons, such as:
It elevates the pH levels of acidic land areas.
It offers a source of calcium for plants.
It enhances the absorption of most plant nutrients.
It facilitates the penetration of water, which can be difficult in acidic soils.
The quality of liming materials typically depends mainly on calcium carbonate equivalent. Other factors include fineness and size of the particles. CCE generally relates to purity or the neutralizing power per material's weight relative to pure calcium carbonate. For instance, liming materials like calcitic limestone, which is generally neutralized by calcium carbonate, has a CCE of 100, while hydrated lime has 135.
Reliable identification of CCE values is vital to ensure that the pH of agricultural soil is maintained over a certain period of time, as well as to ensure that the efficiency of lime is maintained along with the size of the particles.

Open Circle Presentations for March:
March 8 How the US and Mexico Came Together to Defeat the Last Empire in The Americas
Presented by Michael Hogan
Michael Hogan
Historian Michael Hogan returns to present his latest work, GUNS. GRIT, AND GLORY: How the US and Mexico Came Together to Defeat the Last Empire in The Americas. In Hogan's 4th appearance on our stage he will discuss this little known period that marked the end of the French Occupation of Mexico and entertain us with anecdotes and character sketches of the historical figures of the day. Among them will be a Mexican general who brought camels to the Sonoran Desert to transport US artillery to Mexico, and a 24-year-old Mexican lad who raised millions of dollars selling Mexican bonds with the help of Mary Todd Lincoln.
Hogan is the author of 25 books including one that inspired an MGM movie and six documentaries. Following the presentation, please join Professor Hogan at a book signing and luncheon at La Nueva Posada just a few blocks down the road.
March 15 Dr. Stong's Annual "State of the Lakeside" Address
Presented by Todd Stong
This 17th year addressing Open Circle, in addition to rural village water supply/wastewater treatment, Dr. Stong will focus on his efforts to define the causes of and identify actions to retard the advance of kidney disease in 2000-3000 children in villages west of Chapala. He will soon be conducting briefings of parents in 8-10 village plazas. Jobs, children's health and adequate safe water (some households receiving less than 6 hours per week), are the key needs of Lakeside's rural poor earning less than $10/day. He will also offer his views on the future of Lakeside and Mexico.
Dr. Todd Stong's 27 years in humanitarian service have focused on water-related projects in rural Africa, Asia, and Latin America. As a West Point graduate, Colonel Stong served as a construction engineer for 15 years in Korea, Vietnam, and Germany, followed by 15 years directing research in federal laboratories. He has six engineer sons.
This session of Open Circle will begin at 10:30 and conclude at noon.
March 22 12th Annual Talk on Global Warming, Climate Change, and the Rapid Growth of Renewable Energy
Presented by Donald W. Aitken, Ph.D.
Dr. Aitken will give an overview of the startling impacts of the continuing increase in international emissions of greenhouse gases and the rapid and increasingly extreme global responses of climate change to those. He will discuss the horrors in Australia, which may be an example of what is in store for the rest of the world. He will also note the unequal international responses to what is now acknowledged as a global crisis and will review the rapid increase of renewable energy and its impacts globally and locally.
Dr. Aitken, a 13-year resident of Ajijic, is a former Research Professor of High Energy Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics at Stanford University, and founder and long-time Chairman of the Department of Environmental Studies at San Jose State University. He served as the Executive Director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Western Regional Solar Energy Center, and as the Senior Staff Scientist for Renewable Energy Policy and Economics with the Union of Concerned Scientists. Dr. Aitken's important Power Point address will be held at Club Exótica in the rear of El Jardin Restaurant in the Ajijic Plaza. This session of Open Circle will begin at 10:30 a.m. and conclude at 12:00 noon.
March 29 Building Community
Presented by Dr. Benjamin Franklin
Dr. Benjamin Franklin
This week we welcome Dr. Benjamin Franklin to Open Circle. You will hear how Dr. Franklin helped build his adopted hometown into the greatest city in Colonial America. We ask that you turn your minds back in time to June 1775. You are citizens of Philadelphia. The city is alive with the energy of immigrants and talk of war.
Dr. Franklin has spent 15 of the last 17 years in London acting as the agent for the Colony of Pennsylvania. Both Philadelphia and Dr. Franklin have changed during his absence. The Colonies are on the eve of revolt against their British masters. In a rare public speaking appearance, Dr. Franklin will reflect on his life and his efforts to shape Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Dr. Franklin holds honorary degrees from the universities of St. Andrews, Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, and Yale.
April 5 Back to the Basics
Presented by Susan Weeks
Susan Weeks will be offering us an opportunity to examine our personal values. The only constant in the physical world as we know it is change. As we grow and mature through life experience and knowledge, our own values may have evolved. When was the last time you took an inventory? Together let's explore the endless possibilities.
Susan remains a life-long learner. Having declared seven majors, including international relations, history, and psychology, she finally received a BA in Liberal Studies. Her interests remain far flung and she is currently working on attaining a "Rev. Dr." designation. Susan's professional background includes acting, editing, domestic/international tour directing, and life coaching. Prior to moving to the Lake Chapala area in 2016, she was the Spiritual Leader of Unity on Cape Cod.
PAGES FROM HISTORY
The Lake Chapala Community Orchestra is, once again, gearing up for another exciting concert presentation on Sunday March 29 and Monday March 30.
This time the audience will be taken on a musical journey through history.
Entitled "Pages From History" the concert will feature orchestral works written to commemorate famous historical events.
"Before film music gave us a musical background to history, composers such as Beethoven and Tchaikovsky composed orchestra works depicting significant historical events" says Michael Reason, the orchestra's conductor. 1812 by Tchaikovsky is perhaps the most famous of these but Finlandia by Sibelius and Egmont Overture by Beethoven are equally appropriate in their respective appraisal of history.
Reason believes that an orchestral concert should appeal to a wide audience and his ability to program concerts with works from diverse musical genres is a hallmark of the orchestra's presentations.
Guest artists include Judy Roberts singing a World War 2 song medley and the orchestra's principal clarinetist in Mozart's Clarinet Concerto.
Music from the cinema will feature prominently with James Horner's magnificent score to Apollo 13 and John Williams moving theme to Oliver Stone's JFK and all the music being complemented with video projections.
Since its inception in October 2008 the Lake Chapala Community Orchestra has sold out every concert well in advance and this promises to be no exception.
This enterprising concert will take place on Sunday March 29 and Monday March 30 both at 3pm at the Lakeside Presbyterian Church located at 250 San Jorge, Riberas, Chapala.
Seating is limited to only 175 people per performance so early booking is highly recommended.
Tickets are $250 ($150 Students) and can be reserved/purchased by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

LITTLE LAKESIDE THEATRE PRESENTS:
By Peter Quilter, Directed by Peggy Lord Chilton, Show Dates: March 27 – April 5, 2020
Show Sponsor: Susie Patch, in honor of her late husband, Glenn.
A touching, hilarious, yet bittersweet comedy about an actress making her farewell performance.
The dressing room of a theatrical star is as full of conflicting emotions as exist on stage. In this delightful and light-hearted play, the famous Lydia Martin sweeps in for the final performance of her long and glittering career. Around her are her dresser, her agent, her daughter, her ex-husband, her new fiancé and the company manager, bringing with them a flurry of goodbyes, tears, insults, laughs, recriminations, kisses and regrets. On stage she takes her final bow to storms of applause before returning to the dressing room to make a final decision on her future.
Reviews: "A huge success...the applause just didn't want to end... The play is full of witty dialogue that is also philosophically profound... A smart, intelligent and very amusing play." – (Der Merkur at the German premiere)
LLT Box Office: 10am to noon, every Wednesday & Thursday. During Mainstage shows, 10am to noon, every day but Sunday, & one hour before curtain.
