A Time to Perform in December By Kaye Osborn
This time of the year is filled with many school and social activities. It is time to celebrate the holidays with singing, food, family, friends and a live performance or two! I am excited because the Lakewood Youth Theater will be holding their auditions. It is always fun to produce, direct, choreograph and perform a show with talented elementary children. Save the Date: The Nifty Fifties will be performed March 15 and 16. Drama is the glue that creates a very special family. You should try it sometime! I promise it will be memorable and magical.
