A Time to Perform in February By Kaye Osborn

It is my hope you are attending local performances in theater, music, dance, comedy or poetry. Our county has so much talent and lots of choices. Expand your horizons: go to the ballet or the opera. Experience a new genre! You won’t regret it, I promise.

Totally Awesome 80’s rehearsals just began with the Lakewood Youth Theater! It is delightful to work with 4th, 5th, and 6th graders who come to each rehearsal with energy and enthusiasm. Drama creates a unique family. There is nothing better! Collaboration, cooperation and friendships are quickly developed and cemented. Our show March 7th at 6:30 PM will be interpreted for the Deaf community. Two shows on March 8th at 1:30 and 6:30 PM. Come celebrate young performers!

Here are some of the live stage performances in our area.
