McLaren Northern Michigan is here to help tobacco users quit with the Freedom From Smoking program through the American Lung Association (ALA). This 7 week, 8 session course begins on August 6 and meets on Tuesdays at 2 p.m. at the Karmanos Cancer Institute at McLaren Northern Michigan, 560 West Mitchell Street, Suite 185, in Petoskey. The program offers a structured, systematic approach to quitting, using positive messaging that emphasizes the benefits of better health. Because no single quit-smoking method is effective for all tobacco users, Freedom From Smoking teaches control over behavior to break addiction, using techniques based on pharmacological and psychological methods, provides comprehensive cessation techniques supported by evidence-based research and offers a curriculum that includes information about nicotine replacement therapy, including gum, inhalers, patches, lozenges, and nasal spray.

Synopsis 

Embrace your inner elf! A young orphan mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. Raised as an elf, he is unaware he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. Then he sets out to find his birth father, discover his true identity and help New York City find the true meaning of Christmas.

the importance of being earnest

Synopsis

In this farcical comedy by Oscar Wilde, two bachelors create alter egos named Ernest to escape their tiresome social obligations. When they attempt to win the hearts of two women who, conveniently, claim to only love men named Ernest, confusion reigns in this tangled tale that Wilde called “A Trivial Comedy for Serious People.”

Old Town Playhouse is located at 148 East 8^th Street, at the southwest corner of East 8^th and Cass Streets in Traverse City.  Contact the Playhouse for more information.
