S.O.S Al-Anon Open Meeting

Meetings are free, confidential, and open to newcomers. Al-Anon is a mutual support fellowship for families and friends of alcoholics. It is not AA, and it is not for the person with the drinking problem. It is for the people whose lives have been affected by someone else’s drinking — whether that person is a spouse, parent, child, sibling, friend, partner, or loved one. Al-Anon does not offer a magic formula to stop someone from drinking. Alcoholism is a complex problem, and there are no easy answers. But Al-Anon can help you learn how to cope with the challenges of someone else’s drinking, understand how alcoholism affects families and loved ones, and find healthier ways to respond. At Al-Anon meetings, members share their experience, strength, and hope with one another. By listening to others who have faced similar situations, many people begin to feel less alone, gain new understanding, and take things one day at a time. Whether the alcoholic is still drinking, sober, in recovery, unwilling to get help, or no longer in your life, Al-Anon may offer support, perspective, and hope. This is an Open meeting, which means family and friends affected by someone else’s drinking are welcome, and observers are also welcome — including professionals, medical personnel, students, reporters, and anyone interested in learning about the effects of alcohol on families and loved ones. Meeting Location: The Alachua Club 32 N. Third Street Fernandina Beach, FL 32034 Days: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays Time: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Handicap accessible. S.O.S.

Trouble in Tahiti & Il Signor Bruschino
Amelia Island Opera proudly presents an unforgettable evening of musical drama and comedic brilliance with a double bill featuring Leonard Bernstein’s Trouble in Tahiti and Gioachino Rossini’s Il Signor Bruschino. Step into the smoky suburbs of 1950s America with Bernstein’s Trouble in Tahiti — a jazz-infused, one-act opera that explores the emotional distance in a picture-perfect marriage. Featuring AIO Co-Founder, Executive Director and Soprano, Victoria Isernia as Dinah, this intimate and poignant work captures the disillusionment and longing that lurk beneath domestic bliss. The sleek, satirical Trio — a running commentary on American consumer culture — will be performed by three exciting voices making their Amelia Island Opera debuts: Brooklyn Snow, Matthew Greenblatt, and Fran Daniel Laucerica. Then, get ready for mistaken identities, clever schemes, and laugh-out-loud antics in Rossini’s Il Signor Bruschino. This high-spirited Italian farce is full of youthful energy, sparkling melodies, and comic twists — a perfect counterbalance to Bernstein’s moody realism. Taking on the title role is AIO Artistic Director and Baritone John Tibbetts who is joined by Brooklyn Snow known for her “vocal athleticism” and “theatrical smarts” as Sofia, “Sweetly Shining Tenor” Fran Daniel Laucerica as Florville, Matthew Greenblatt as Bruschino Jr., Andre Chiang as Filiberto, Olivia Yokers as Marianna, and Dylan Elza as The Police Commissioner. This double bill will be woven together under the direction of acclaimed opera director, Scott Skiba and the orchestra will be led by returning company favorite, Maestro Keith Chambers. From the smoky lounges of suburban America to the zany salons of Italy, this dynamic double bill offers an evening of contrasting styles, rich storytelling, and unforgettable performances.
