On Oct. 21, the First United Methodist Church of Warsaw will host screenwriter and humorist Jonathan Richard Cring and musician and conductor Janet Clazzy for a 7 p.m. performance.
The evening of music and monologue includes insights from Cring's book "Living a Legendary Life" with original musical tunes by Clazzy on the oboe and WX-5 Wind Machine. Cring also will provide insights on the growing market for movies and art with purpose and spirit.
Cring is the author of 11 books, including "I'm ... the Legend of the Son of Man," "20 Other Reasons to Kiss a Frog," "Jesonian" and "Digging for Gold (in the Rule)." He is the winner of a Billboard Music Award and recent recipient of the Best Screenplay Award at the Top Ten Films in America festival.
"Forty-nine minutes is all we have to give you music, humor, dialogue and some fresh insights about bringing creativity into our practical lives," Cring said. "The presentation is a delicate and delicious blending of spirit and humor that produces the wonderful byproduct of good cheer."
Clazzy has played oboe in orchestras for 30 years from coast to coast, including San Jose, Calif.; Chicago, Ill.; Shreveport, La.; and Houston, Texas.
"I have this fabulous instrument called the WX-5 Wind Machine that gives me 250 sounds," she said. "When you add some of the beautiful music and inspiring melodies, it just lends itself to an occasion to enrich the heart and exalt the spirit."She also is the first female conductor in Tennessee.
A free-will offering will be received after the service. Copies of books, CDs and DVDs of the movies will be available for purchase. For more information, call 574-267-6933.
