Tevye, an affable dairyman, must cope with the strong wills of his three eldest daughters - each of whom wish to defy tradition and marry for love – while also attempting to maintain his family’s culture and faith as outside influences of Tsarist Russia encroach upon his little village. Touching audiences worldwide with its humor, warmth and honesty, this show is a staple of musical theatre, cutting across barriers of race, class, nationality, and religion.

There's something for everyone in the 18th Annual Summer Movie Magic lineup! Travel back in time with us and see these American classics as they should be: in a historic theater, with a bag of popcorn in your lap, and a cold drink in your hand. Come experience some of your favorite classics! Organists Bill Snyder and Freddie Brabson will play the Mighty Wurlitzer organ before each film.

Casablanca: easy to enter but much harder to leave, especially if your name is on the Nazis' most-wanted list! Atop that list is Czech Resistance leader Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), whose only hope is Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart), a cynical American who sticks his neck out for no one ... especially Victor's wife Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman), the ex-lover who broke his heart. So when Ilsa offers herself in exchange for Laszlo's safe transport out of the country, the bitter Rick must decide what's more important -- his own happiness or the countless lives that hang in the balance. Winner of three Academy Awards including Best Picture.

The Town of Farragut Arts Council presents Mary Agnes Schaefer as the featured artist for July and August. Located at the Farragut Town Hall, her exhibit features quilt squares painted on canvas.

Schaefer's featured painted quilt squares are smaller in size and suitable to be hung inside. Typical quilt squares are not fabric but are quilt square images painted on prepared surfaces to be hung outside on sides of buildings, business establishments, barns, homes. They also appear on routes through communities to be seen from highways or back roads. Quilt square trails is a movement across the United States and includes one in Tennessee called the Appalachian Quilt Square Trail (www.vacationaqt.com). The quilt squares on this trail represent patterns that were used in quilts pieced by our ancestors as well as modern day designs. Some of these quilt squares are quite large and can be seen from a great distance. Schaefer hopes to encourage the creation of a Farragut Quilt Square Trail in our community.

Our exhibit features the work of quilters Melissa Everett and Emily Doane. Melissa describes her quilting in this way: "I started quilting in 2011, after my first son was born. I wanted to make him something he could have forever. The obsession just snowballed from there. In 2012, I opened my Etsy shop, Cycling Jane's Closet, and through it met Emily Doane. Emily, whose work is also featured in this exhibition, invited me to a Knoxville Modern Quilt Guild meeting. That meeting, i joined the guild. I have continued to be an active member and in 2014 became the president. I've enjoyed the creativity, inspiration and education I've gained from the other members. My work is somewhat all over the map. I love trying new techniques, taking classes and learning how others approach the craft. I am a self-taught quilter, learning the craft form other bloggers. My grandmothers were seamstresses and made clothing, but only a great-grandmother, whom I never met, was a quilter. It has been such a healthy outlet for me while staying at home to raise my two boys. This is my first solo exhibition and you can see my growth and exploration of styles throughout the pieces showcased."

On display at Westminister Presbyterian Church, 6500 S Northshore Dr, Knoxville, TN 37919. Info: (865) 584-3957 or www.wpcknox.org.

The Shelby Cobra replica was 3D-printed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. After being unveiled by President Obama and Vice President Biden in January 2015, the Cobra traveled the U.S. and was exhibited in Europe. The Cobra will be on display at AMSE through July except for its expected appearance Monday, July 4, in the Farragut Independence Day Parade. Researchers printed the Shelby Cobra at DOE’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility at ORNL using the Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM) machine, which can manufacture strong, lightweight composite parts without the need for tooling.
