A drama depicting wartime dilemmas will be presented by Selina Jayne-Dornan at the Nov. 21 meeting of the Friends of Eufaula Memorial Library.
The staged reading of “War Letters” by Dor-nan, acting teacher at Eufaula High School, will begin at 1 p.m.
Students of Dornan will portray the roles of three generations of women left behind when one man dear to them all is on a peacekeeping mission overseas.
Jack’s only connection with his wife Karen, his mother Lillian, and his daughter Mary is with letters, through which the audience becomes aware of their fears, hopes, anticipations, and sorrows.
Dornan is a professional actress, former Eufaula mayor, and Eufaula High School
11B
speech and drama instructor. She was also instrumental in starting the Eufaula Performing and Arts Club for junior high and high school aged students.
Parents are invited to view this reading and see how being on stage is beneficial for young people—a true character- builder. The free meeting will be at the Eufaula Senior Center, 121 High Street—the location where library events will be held until the floor repair of the Follansbee Room is completed.
The Friends have offered free cultural programs on the third Friday of every month in 2025. The December 19 program will feature retired history teacher and travel enthusiast Roger Thompson, who will present a slide show, “How Christmas Evolved.”
Bookings are being made now for the Friends’ 2026 calendar. If you have someone you’d like to recommend as a speaker or any arts and creativity program you’d like to see, please contact Lenore Bechtel, Friends’ Vice President and program coordinator, at lenorebechtel33@gmail.com.
