    My Phony Valentine

    All day
    12-07-24-13-07-24
    Cook Forest Sawmill Art Center, Cooksburg, PA, United States

    July 11 – 13, 2024 at 8 pm
    Tickets: $15.00

    Psychologist Dr. Henry Valentine is unexplainably late for an open house demonstration of his innovative group therapy ideas. Anna-Lee Silverstein, a temp stepping in due to Dr. Valentine’s secretary’s maternity leave, has never met the doctor. Learning this, a would-be patient, Elliot Noodleman, decides to impersonate the psychologist. As other potential patients arrive, Elliot creates his own “innovative” ideas for emotional therapy. Add in Lydia Bedford, a woman suffering from sinistrophobia (the fear of objects to her left); a community theatre director, Armand Charbonneau, who fears mimes (and feels compelled to constantly “direct” the sessions); Becky Webster, a mild-mannered librarian who has a mysterious disorder (where she can only communicate through puns when nervous); and Mona McVee, who suffers from xanthophobia (a fear of all things yellow), and you’ve got the makings for a hilarious therapy session. When a masked intruder invades looking to repair his relationship, the antics move to another level! Not until the real Dr. Valentine arrives do we realize that maybe the phony Valentine knew more than anticipated.

    Please meet at the Clear Creek Park Office for a guided 6 mile interpretive float down the National Wild & Scenic Clarion River. This is an excellent float to experience buried history and river life along the Clarion. Ever hear the stories of ‘shooting an anvil’ or running a log raft out of Millstone? Will we see any bald eagles or river otter sign? Come along and find out!

    We will meet promptly at the Clear Creek Park Office and car-pool to the starting point up-river. Remember to pack water, protective footwear, raingear, and change of clothes. Don’t forget your fishing poles! Cost is $50/boat with check or money order made out to ‘Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’. Lunch and boats provided to those who register by 7/9. Pre-registration required by contacting the Cook Forest Park Office at (814)744-8407, 10 boat limit. Prior Cook Forest kayak training participants receive a 50% discount. Available spots go fast, so please reserve early. See you on the river!
