PERFORMANCE

Dramapalooza, created in 2003, gives adults with various disabilities the opportunity to learn all about musical theater performance and production. Each year a group of 15 to 20 performers embark on a journey to learn lines, songs, dances and more in an intense program culminating in a public performance.

Lory Stewart, a former teacher for the Garland Independent School District, adapts or creates a different musical each year for the group. The performers are exposed to the full cultural arts experience through this class. Productions include costuming, scripts, solos, group musical performances, choreography and teamwork. Each element of this unique program helps to promote independence, confidence and a sense of belonging. Accommodations are made to meet the needs of each performer, which include individuals who are non-verbal, individuals who use wheelchairs and individuals with social anxiety. No part is a small part in Dramapalooza. Every participant is given a chance to shine bright on the stage.

The 2025 performance will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, July 13, at the Plaza Theatre in Downtown Garland.

Why a Bond Election?

Which areas of the city will the 2025 Bond Program impact?

City Council assembled a Bond Study Committee of Garland residents to evaluate existing challenges within the city and to recommend potential solutions. The Committee looked at Garland’s property and sales tax revenue, which is modest in comparison to neighboring cities. Members also discussed how Garland is not seeing a significant increase in new residents and how it’s built out in regard to new development. The Committee determined that future revenue growth would be necessary to sustain the current level of City services and that an investment in public infrastructure and redevelopment could initiate the desired growth.

While South Garland, Harbor Point and the Medical District are listed as areas the City would like to target for economic development, the 2025 Bond Program includes street repair, redevelopment and revitalization projects citywide.

How will the bond be funded if there’s no impact to the tax rate?

As the City of Garland pays off existing debt, it frees up capacity to take on new projects — just like paying off a car loan makes room in your budget for future needs.

The City’s current tax rate is 68.97 cents per $100 of property value, with 39.93 cents dedicated to repaying debt. As older bonds are paid off, we can issue new bonds for improvements without raising the tax rate. This responsible financial planning allows us to invest in streets, parks, public safety and other community priorities while keeping the tax rate stable.

A medida que la Ciudad de Garland paga la deuda existente, deja disponible capacidad para iniciar nuevos proyectos — al igual que el pago del préstamo de un automóvil deja espacio en su presupuesto para gastos futuros. La tasa impositiva actual de la Ciudad es de 68.97 centavos por $100 de valor de la propiedad, de lo cual 39.93 centavos están dedicados al pago de deudas. A medida que se pagan los bonos más antiguos, podemos emitir nuevos bonos para mejoras, sin aumentar la tasa impositiva. Esta planificación financiera nos permite invertir en calles, parques, seguridad pública y otras prioridades de la comunidad sin cambiar la tasa impositiva.
