himself on a bridge contemplating jumping, when his “guardian angel” appears and grants him his
wish – “I wish I had never been born.” Clarence then gives George a glimpse of his world without
his life’s influence, and is given another chance to live his life. Learn how an angel earns his wings

"Aftershock: Democrats, Republicans & the New Reality"
HCCC Hudgins Room - 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Featuring:
Dr. Alan Abramowitz
Alben W. Barkley
Professor of Political Science at Emory University
The 2010 midterm election resulted in dramatic Republican gains in Congress and in many states including Georgia:
• How will President Obama adjust to the new political realities in Washington including Republican control of the House of Representatives?
• How will congressional Republicans adjust their strategy now that they will have partial responsibility for governing?
• How are the election results likely to affect domestic and foreign policy in 2011-12 and how will these policy shifts affect the outlook for business and the economy?
• How will the Republican sweep of statewide offices and Republican gains in the state legislature affect Georgia politics and public policy?
• What are the implications of the election results for the 2012 elections? Will Republicans solidify their gains or will Democrats bounce back?
Cost: $12 for members; $20 for non-members. Reservations required - call (770) 957-5786 or email preeves@henrycounty.com. No-shows will be invoiced.

The Producers - presented by the Henry Players
Thursday, March 31 @ 7:30 PM
Location: Henry County Performing Arts Center
Max Bialystock was once the king of Broadway! Now all his shows close on opening night. Things turn around when he's visited by neurotic accountant Leo Bloom, who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show is despised and closes the same night it opens. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket the money you did not spend. They find the worst play they can find (“Springtime for Hitler”) and hire the worst director and actors in town. What can go wrong? Well, there's no accounting for taste. It’s written by Mel Brooks.
