Ohio Northern University’s Freed Center for the Performing Arts will present “Romeo and Juliet” by National Players in the Stambaugh Theatre on Saturday, Jan. 19, at 7:30 p.m.

This production of “Romeo and Juliet” is National Players at its best: fresh, contemporary and visceral. This rendering of star-crossed lovers is set to the pulsing rhythms of contemporary digital society, where everything is shared and nothing connects, and takes the play back to its source while bringing it viciously into the here and now.

Peter Previte, Professor at the School of Pharmacy will be the featured speaker at the next meeting of the Bluffton Lions Club. He will be speaking on the topic of a “Brief History of the Federal Food/Drug/Cosmetic Act”.

The  lunchtime meeting will be held Tuesday, Jan. 22 at Maple Crest Senior Living Center, Bluffton, at noon.
