Penny Patz, Ed.D., Emeritus Administrator
Our college community suffered a loss Dec. 31 with the passing of Penny Patz, Ed.D. She ably served Foothill College in several administrative positions from 1989 through 2007. Her most recent position was as interim president during 2006-2007 after which she retired.

Her courage and serenity were an inspiration and a reminder that time is a most precious gift. The on-campus service for Dr. Patz is Wednesday, Feb. 10, from 3 to 5 p.m. in Smithwick Theatre at Foothill College. We offer our deepest sympathies to the Patz family and share in their grief.

Auditions are March 8-9 at 7 p.m. in the Lohman Theatre (Room 8002) at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills. Performers need only attend one audition session and should be prepared to stay for up to three hours.

All roles are open and actors of all backgrounds are encouraged to audition. Roles are available for 10 men, ages 18 to 80, and 10 women, ages 16 to 80. Also, there is a particular role for an African-American woman, age 20 to 60. Cold readings from the script will be assigned and performers may prepare an optional contemporary, dramatic monologue.

This classic American drama tells of a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife's arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie--in open court the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. The farmer, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned with a host of others.
