Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production – just as you remember it and just when we need it most.
Annie, directed by Jenn Thompson, features the iconic book and score, written by Tony Award®-winners Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse, and Martin Charnin. This celebration of family, optimism, and the American spirit remains the ultimate cure for all the hard knocks life throws your way.
The event will be held at the North Charleston Coliseum, 5001 Coliseum Drive, North Charleston, SC 29418, on October 28-30, 2022 and doors open one hour prior to show time. Parking costs $10. Tickets and more information are available now through this link.

“Be ready” was the priority message delivered by local weatherman Bill Walsh at the September 7 Exchange Club of Kiawah-Seabrook dinner meeting. Bill, Chief Meteorologist and Executive Producer for WCSC-TV CBS Charleston, has lived in the area since 1986 and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of the impact of major storms on the low country. This is a very unusual year, according to Bill: there were no hurricanes in the Atlantic in August, and that hasn’t happened since 1950. And while the peak of hurricane season is September 10, there still has yet to be a significant storm in the Eastern U.S. One of the factors impacting the storm cycle is that there is a great deal of Saharan sand in the atmosphere off Africa and that’s not good for storm formation.
Bill encouraged members to “Be ready for that one storm, we’re not out of the woods yet,” since the hurricane season runs until mid-October. The water temperature is currently 84 degrees which is plenty warm to accelerate storm formation in the weeks ahead.
In terms of preparing for a large storm, Bill encouraged members to “be fluid in your preparation,” prepare for challenges with evacuation as the population growth on Johns Island will add congestion to Main and River Road evacuation routes. He also encouraged people to evacuate if a storm is coming, stating that if Hurricane Hugo had hit Edisto Beach, the storm surge would have been more than 20 feet.
Beyond broadcasting local weather each day, Bill is an author of suspense novels and is on the Board of Directors for Ronald McDonald House Charities. He’s a retired Lt. Colonel in the Air Force Reserve and a two-time Emmy Award winner.
The Exchange Club of Kiawah-Seabrook holds dinner meetings about every two weeks, providing an opportunity for fellowship and fun, along with a guest speaker discussing some aspect of life in the Lowcountry. Other activities include an annual holiday event and excursions to the Charleston Symphony throughout the year.

Seabrook Island Artist Guild (SIAG) welcomes Betsy Jones McDonald
Tuesday, October 18, 2022
1:30 – 4:00 pm
The Lake House – Live Oak Hall
Betsy Jones McDonald will provide a live demonstration of her “primary colors only, plus white” style of painting. She will be focusing on a marsh scene with an emphasis on clouds and reflections. The demonstration will be held during the October Seabrook Island Artist Guild meeting.
Betsy Jones McDonald started drawing and painting as a child and has continued her lifetime pursuit of painting ever since. She studied fine art at Columbus State University in the late 80’s. McDonald worked in design and advertising in the early 90’s, furthering her eye for great composition. Her love of large-format painting in oils was discovered when she spent a summer painting murals for schools in Columbia, S.C. Her love of painting our local surroundings was instant. She paints using only the primary colors (red, yellow and blue), plus white and custom mixes all of the beautiful colors for her paintings. Her emphasis is on both color and brushstroke.
Betsy states, “I love the colors of the marsh and the way they change with the seasons, light and tides. Every time that you look at the marsh, you see something different and I am fascinated by that.”
Betsy is represented by Perspective Art Gallery in Mt Pleasant, S.C. and also at Keepsakes at Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet, S.C. She also teaches oil painting and color mixing through her workshops in Mt Pleasant, S.C. You can find more information about Betsy and her paintings by visiting www.betsyjonesmcdonald.com and follow her on Instagram at www.instagram.com/betsyjonesmcdonald_art.
