Stage Coach Players opening night performance of Little Shop of Horrors at 730pm
The 4th season premiere of Riverdale was last night which explained how they were going to handle the death of Luke Perry who plays the main character’s dad – Fred Andrews. Spoiler Alert if you’re a Riverdale fan and haven’t gotten around to last night’s episode yet… So Archie gets a phone call letting him know that his dad died after stopping on the side of the road to help a woman who was having car trouble. Unfortunately, he gets hit by a passing car. Turns out the woman he was helping is played by Shannen Doherty – his 90210 co-star. She tells Archie that Fred pushed her out of the way of the passing car, and he died a hero.
Keeping up with teenage trends is a task. This might help. Here’s some of the highlights from the latest ‘Taking Stock with Teens’ survey by Piper Jaffray. They found that teens prefer YouTube over Netflix for watching videos, which is the first time that YouTube has had the honor. Instagram is #1 for social media platforms, followed closely by Snapchat while only 31% of teens prefer Facebook. When it comes to what they’re buying…it’s food. That’s their number 1 priority. Video games are up there too. Oh and they really like Kevin Hart. Teens ranked him as their Top Celebrity followed by Tom Holland, LeBron James, The Rock and Ariana Grande.
