Damonte Ranch High School presents:
‘Chicken Bones for the Teenage Soup’
Damonte Ranch High School Thespian Troupe #6748 is proud to present two free performances of the hilarious one-act play, “Chicken Bones for the Teenage Soup” by Alan Haehnel, at Washoe County libraries.
Unlike the megapopular book series it parodies, “Chicken Bones” is a comic ode to pessimism. In a series of short scenes, diverse characters illustrate various sentimental moments from everyday life, only to be repeatedly crushed by sardonic twists of cruel fate.
Wednesday, November 18, 4 p.m.
Sparks Library 125 12th Street, Sparks, 352-3200
Thursday, November 19, 4 p.m.
Spanish Springs Library, 7100A Pyramid Highway, Sparks, 424-1800
“Chicken Bones for the Teenage Soup” is produced by special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc.

Hold your horses! Terri Farley visits the library
Equine enthusiasts of all ages will want to attend “Hold Your Horses” – special programs presented by local author Terri Farley, creator of the Phantom Stallion book series. She will show Wild Ones, a short DVD depicting mustangs in the wild, their capture and adoption. It describes the way Terri got the idea for the Phantom Stallion books while on a real cattle drive and shows the original Phantom Stallion in his new California home.
All ages are welcome and children are encouraged to bring their play horses to the presentation. This program is filled with stories and audience interaction. And, at South Valleys Library, you’ll be able to meet a real mustang named Chip, thanks to library employee Suzanne McMann.
Terri Farley is the best-selling author of The Phantom Stallion and Wild Horse Island series, with over a million books sold in 27 countries. Her contemporary Celtic fantasy, Seven Tears into the Sea, was nominated as an ALA best book. Her “Authoring Change” campaign supports humane and literacy causes worldwide.
