Let the 2010 Senior Follies take you away with "Seniors in Paree!" 7 p.m. July 30 and 2 p.m. July 31 and Aug. 1 at the Carson City Community Center.

Along the banks of the Seine you will meet some interesting men "Standing on the Corner Watching All the Girls Go By." And at the Cafe de la Paix, you'll see the ladies have champagne every day around three. The cast is smaller, however, the singing, comedy and dancing have never been better. You will see familiar faces and recognize a variety of songs.

Be prepared to tap your feet, clap your hands and sing along.

Tickets are $10. The follies are produced by the Carson City Senior Citizens Center.
