LAKEPORT, Calif. – The local exhibition of talent known as Lake County Live! Returned to the Soper-Reese Community Theatre in Lakeport on Sunday, Feb. 24, with the usual cast of players and three musical acts.

Fresh off the heels of the Winter Music Festival, the Mendo-Lake Singers performed for the live audience in the theater and those listening at home on KPFZ, Lake County Community Radio at 88.1 FM or listening on the Internet via www.kpfz.org .

This group of women, a part of the organization known as the Sweet Adelines, performed four-part harmonies while presenting a visually entertaining set.

Also on the program was In Voice, a quartet featuring Bill Bordisso, Keith Larson, Libby Larson and Doug Harris. They performed several wonderful songs in the folk and traditional manner, much to the delight of the audience.

Rounding out the show was a presentation by the child cast members of the local production of “The Sound of Music” featuring kids from the Lakeport schools.  

Lake County Live’s very own Pamela Bradley, also known as Rhoda during the “Ladies of the Lake” section of each show, produced the performance by the young players.  

The show also revisited the other “Ladies of the Lake” including Vicky Parish Smith, Kris Andre and Suna Flores, as well as featuring the talents of Richard Smith and Nick Reid.  

Show creator and producer Doug Rhoades, who also hosts the program, said “I think this was one of the most entertaining shows we’ve done thus far, although it gets easier to say that as the talent keeps getting better and better. But it’s only entertaining through the efforts of our regular voice performers, and the great musical acts who come on the show.”

Rhoades added, “Without them, we wouldn’t be here at all.”

Lake County Live! is presented at 6 p.m. on the last Sunday of each month at the Soper-Reese Community Theatre in Lakeport. The show is broadcast live and streamed on the Internet at KPFZ 88.1 FM and www.kpfz.org .

The next show is March 31.
