PATIENT CARE TECH TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT

St. Elizabeth Hospital

St. Elizabeth’s Hospital initiates eight-week paid training for Patient Care Techs. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of health care occupations is projected to grow eighteen percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. Health care occupations are projected to add more jobs than any of the other occupational groups but the costs of getting trained for clinical care positions may be higher than some can afford. To help solve this issue, St. Elizabeth’s Hospital developed a new program to create a bridge into the industry. The Patient Care Tech (PCT) program is an eight-week paid training program that combines classroom education with hands-on clinical experience. The program consists of two classroom days every week for four weeks. Time is also spent working on a hospital unit for the first four weeks, followed by a four-week internship supported by preceptors. Upon successful completion of the program objectives, participants will have a position at the hospital. The second cohort will start in April 2019. Applications are currently being accepted and are available online at www.hshscareers.jobs. To learn more about the program email Gorka at Lleyna.Gorka@hshs.org or call 618-234-2120, ext. 12548.

ELDER CARE WORKSHOP

Crossing Church

June 25 – 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.

Cordell Planning Partners, an elder care law firm dedicated to providing smart solutions for seniors, is hosting a complimentary workshop in Chesterfield to highlight the legal complexities facing seniors as they age. The workshop will take place from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., Tuesday, Jun. 25, at The Crossing Church in Chesterfield, Mo. (114 N. Eatherton Rd., Chesterfield, MO 63005). Registration for the free workshop is available online at http://eldercarelaw.com/workshops. Planning and protecting your estate and valuable belongings can be a complicated process. It is critical for you to understand all the available options you have and identify if your current plan meets your goals. Unfortunately, most people don’t prepare for long-term care because of the cost or the financial consequences that ultimately cannot be avoided. These free workshops will walk you through "Planning as You Age: Legal Complexities Facing Senior Citizens.”

Cordell Planning Partners workshop topics include: Qualifying for government funds without losing everything, No-cost pre-planning approaches to preserving assets, Trusts: Differences between revocable and irrevocable, Information on probate, power of attorney, living wills, and health care proxies,  Cordell Planning Partners attorneys understand that long-term care planning can be intimidating, especially when facing it alone. It is packaged in complex paperwork and polices that can be confusing and expensive. It also can be a point of contention among family members, as there is not always an exact answer to when long-term care should begin. “We understand how critical the transition can be as you age, and we are committed to working with you every step of the way,” said Joseph E. Cordell, founder and senior partner of Cordell

Planning Partners. “We believe a life well lived is a life well planned. Let us be the difference in your future.” Register for a free Cordell Planning Partners workshop to learn more about the steps seniors need to take to ensure that their assets and future are protected. Light snacks will be provided. Parking is free for this event.

June 30 – 3:00 p.m.

Winner of numerous awards including an acclaimed Tony-Winning run on Broadway, “Indecent” by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, is the true story of a groundbreaking scandalous play and the courageous artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it. After a rapturous reception in Europe, Sholem Asch’s drama, “God of Vengeance” debuted on Broadway in 1923 at a time when waves of immigrants were changing the face of America. This revolutionary love story, that celebrated Yiddish language and unconventional passion, was forced from the stage by a fearful and reactionary public. Its fate, and that of the actors who cherished it even as they confronted the horrors of the Nazi onslaught, are the subject of “Indecent.” Seven Actors and three musicians play a myriad of roles across continents and decades. This collage of riveting theater, glorious music, exuberant dance and poetry is a heart-stirring affirmation of the transformative impact of love and art in an era of chaos that seems timelier than ever before. Preview Thursday, 06/20/19 7:30 p.m., 06/21/19 and 06/22/19 8:00 p.m., Sunday, 06/23/19 3:00 p.m., Thursday,06/27/19 7:30 PM Friday, 06/28/19 and 06/29/19 8:00 p.m., Sunday, 06/30/19 3:00 p.m.

July 14 – 2:00 p.m.

Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and scaffold.

UNION AVENUE OPERA 25TH ANNIVERSARY FESTIVAL SEASON

Union Avenue Opera

July 5, 6, 12, 13 – 8:00 p.m.

The seven-week summer season will open Friday, July 5 with Bernstein's hilarious, philosophical, and fast-paced take on Voltaire’s 1759 biting satire of the same name, Candide and will feature the return of Christine Brewer to the UAO stage. Christine Brewer returns to Union Avenue Opera for role debut as The Old Lady in Bernstein's, Candide.  Fully staged and performed in their original language with project English Supertitles on the Union Avenue Opera stage at 733 N. Union Blvd, STL 63108, and accompanied by a full orchestra, all members of the AFM Orchestra Union. Four Performances: July 5, 6, 12, 13 at 8:00 p.m. Presented in English with English supertitles. War! Earthquakes! Disease! Very bad things happen to very good people (and plenty of bad ones too). When young Candide’s marriage proposal to a baron’s daughter doesn’t quite go as planned, this naïve student of optimism is thrust into an eye-opening odyssey across lands near and far, discovering the horrors of existence at every turn. Candide is part opera, part musical, and entirely irreverent. Voltaire’s philosophical spoof becomes a brilliant and breathless operetta set to a vivid score by Bernstein which abounds with spectacular music that includes a famous overture, the soprano showpiece “Glitter and Be Gay,” and the soaring finale, “Make our Garden Grow.” Through all its hysterical scouring of 18th-century wickedness and woe, Candide still finds a way to move and inspire with life-affirming lessons that, surprisingly, ring just as true today. Single tickets are on sale for as low as $32 and subscription packages start at $80. Tickets may be purchased online at www.unionavenueopera.org, by phone at 314-361-2881, and in person at Union Avenue Opera, 733 N. Union Blvd, St. Louis, MO, 63108. Student rush tickets are available at the door for $15 (cash only) with a valid student ID. There is ample free parking available.

8:00 p.m. Based on the novel “Glory Denied” by Tom Philpott. Presented in English with English supertitles. America’s longest-held prisoner of war dreams of coming home. But home is a place he will not recognize. Follow the gut-wrenching saga of Colonel Jim Thompson as he transitions from the jungles of Southeast Asia to the tree-lined streets of suburban America. Glory Denied speaks to the plight of so many of our veterans who nobly fought for their country but face huge challenges when it comes to re-assimilating into society—and their longed-for normal lives—after service.

The Glory Denied cast of four includes David Walton (Albert, Albert Herring) as Younger Thompson, Peter Kendall Clark in his UAO debut as Older Thompson, Karina Brazas (Yum-Yum, The Mikado) as Younger Alyce, and Gina Galati (Donna Elvira, Don Giovanni) as Older Alyce.Schoonover conducts as St. Louis native Dean Anthony makes his UAO directorial debut.
