STUDIO VII THEATRE CO.
A FOX ON THE FAIRWAY
Show dates are January 16 th , 24 th , 25 th , 30 th and 31 st at 7 PM and on the
January 18 th at 2 PM. A tribute from Ken Ludwig to the great English farces
of the 1930s and 1940s, A Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious
romp, which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a
private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors and
over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that
recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics. A charmingly madcap adventure about
love, life and man’s eternal love affair with...golf.
“I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE!”
Show dates are January 17 th , 18 th and 23 rd at 7 PM and on the January 25 th
at 2 PM. This celebration of the mating game takes on the truths and myths
behind that contemporary conundrum known as ‘the relationship.’ Act I
explores the journey from dating and waiting to love and marriage, while
Act II reveals the agonies and triumphs of in-laws and newborns, trips in the
family car and pick-up techniques of the geriatric set. This hilarious revue
pays tribute to those who have loved and lost, to those who have fallen on
their face at the portal of romance, to those who have dared to ask, ‘Say,
what are you doing Saturday night?’ Suitable for audiences ages 13+.
Both held in the intimate Black Box Theatre. Tickets: www.studiovii.org/tickets

Recipes
Spaghetti Squash
You could make this on National Spaghetti Day January
4th! Everyone is trying to be a little healthier these days,
so instead of a pasta spaghetti, try using spaghetti
squash:
DIRECTIONS:
1. To start, cut your squash in half lengthwise. This is
definitely the hardest part of making spaghetti squash,
but with a sharp chef’s knife and some determination
you’ll do just fine.
2. Remove the seeds. Drizzle the cut sides with olive oil
and season with salt and pepper. Flip the squash cut-side
down on a baking sheet.
3. Pop it in a 400°F oven for 40 minutes. Depending on
the size of your squash, this could take more like an
hour. If 40 minutes have passed and you’re not sure if the
squash is ready, pull it out of the oven and drag the tines
of a fork on the cut side. If spaghetti-like strands easily
release from the skin, it’s ready. If not, continue baking
and check on it every 5 to 10 minutes. Over-roasting can
lead to soggier “spaghetti,” so it’s best to keep a close eye
on the squash.
4. Shred it! When it’s ready, let cool slightly before creating
“spaghetti” with your fork.
Top with spaghetti sauce or for an even healthier and
lower calorie option, go with a marinara sauce.

Tips
!
Gardening
Happy New Y ear fro m
• Birds: Provide food and fresh water. More birds die from lack of
water than from lack of food.
• Cacti: Semi-dormant now. Reduce watering.
• Camellias: Plants may be moved. Pick up and discard fallen blooms.
• Cultivation: Changes in design may now be made, new beds dug and
old ones rebuilt. Correct defects in drainage. Incorporate gypsum into
heavy soils: repeat in three weeks. Dig granite dust, rock phosphate
and quantities of organic matter into soil. Allow time for settling before
planting.
• Fertilize: Daylilies, spuria, Louisiana and bearded irises with complete
fertilizer. Give strawberries 1 teaspoon ammonium sulfate, keeping six
inches away from plant. Fertilize pansies with manure tea or blood meal.
Water in.
• Fruits: Plant fruit trees. Mulch figs with grass or straw to prevent freeze
damage to crown.
• House Plants: Water, when surface soil is crumbly dry. Wash dust off
leaves to open pores. Mist often. Inspect for diseases and insects. Reduce
water for poinsettias.
• Lawns: Remove thatch aerate, and feed with low nitrogen mixture.
• Pests: For petal blight prevention, spray azaleas and camellias as flowers
open. Spray for scale with dormant oil solution if temperature will
be above 35˚ and below 85˚ for next 48 hours. Always read and heed
manufacturer’s directions before spraying.
• Propagation: Ivy cuttings root easily this month and next. Root cuttings
of shrubs in mixture of loam and coarse sand; keep damp and semishaded
until rooted.
• Prune: Fruit trees in advance of new growth. Prune to groom and shape.
Do not remove too much. Remove dead wood from trees and shrubs
before spring buds swell, but do not prune spring bloomers. Prune crape
myrtles. Prune nandina and others of similar growth habit by cutting
unwanted canes out at base of plant.
• Roses: Annual pruning about the middle of February, just before the
spring buds break. To prevent later appearance of disease in the old
beds, keep garden clean of debris and weeds. Complete preparation of
new beds for roses.
• Transplanting: January is one of the best months to transplant woody
plants, both evergreen and deciduous, especially trees. Energy will be
expended on roots instead of foliage. Learn ultimate size and cultural
needs of tree or plant before buying. Consider dwarf varieties to avoid
crowding later. Group plants of similar cultural needs. Do not work wet
soil. Assure good drainage. Keep plants moist.
• Vegetables: Prepare beds, preferably raised for drainage, with about
50% humus, including rotted manure.
• Winter Protection: Expect freeze any time; plan for protection of tender
plants. Water. Remove coverings, particularly plastic, when temperature
rises. Protect low plants with dry leaves, pine needles or soil mulch, but
remove when weather warms.
