Constellation Stage & Screen presents “Heist” on stage September 3-20 at the Waldron Auditorium.

A band of criminals, torn apart by suspicion and betrayal, reunites for one last job. The target: a multi-million dollar ruby owned by an international jewel thief. When the plan goes sideways, they slowly realize that when stealing from a thief, there are no rules. Inspired by caper films like Ocean’s Eleven, The Italian Job, and The Sting, this high-stakes thriller is packed with double-crosses, disguises, and daring escapes.

In this course you'll learn how to use the magic of Adobe Photoshop to enhance your photographs in many different ways. You’ll also learn how to make your own greeting cards for all occasions, and create portraits of family, friends, and pets.
