Shorts & Sweets for April Fools

April 2026 is here and what better time for some risqué jokes? “Shorts & Sweets for April Fools” is by far Big Sky Productions’ most requested program. This “adults only” presentation will be performed by Big Sky’s Laure Valentine and Carol Montana.

This program of funny, devilish, bawdy and slightly off-color short stories, anecdotes and jokes will be accompanied by sweet treats and beverages provided by the Livingston Manor-Roscoe Library director and trustees.

Laure Valentine is a resident of Livingston Manor who currently works at the Monticello Central School District as a Speech/Language Pathologist. She has appeared on screen in the pilot for “The Manor.” Laure loves performing for Big Sky Productions, which is where she met her honey Mike nearly 30 years ago during their production of “On Golden Pond”!

Carol Montana, Big Sky Productions Artistic Director, has a Master’s Degree in Dramatic Form and Structure from the University of Connecticut. She’s directed over 60 plays for several area theatre companies and schools. Carol has worked as a journalist, library clerk, public relations director and theatrical technical director, as well as a newspaper editor. She is currently the freelance Media Manager for Action Toward Independence and Vet 2 Vet of Sullivan County.
