DRAMAPALOOZA P E R F O R M A N C E 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 stage regardless of ability. The 2020 performance will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12 in the Brownlee Theater at the Granville Arts Center, 300 N. Fifth St.

27th Annual Trout Lily Nature Walk at the Spring Creek Forest Preserve

Photo credit: Kenneth Wickline

Trout Lily Nature Walk 2020

The Preservation Society for Spring Creek Forest will host the 27th Annual Trout Lily Nature Walk on Feb. 23.

The Trout Lily is one of the first wildflowers to begin flowering each year. Its natural habitat is found in hardwood bottomland forests that have had very little impact from the built environment. The flowering period is only two to four weeks long, and the entire plant cycle is complete in about 10 weeks. Nature walks will take place between 2 and 3:30 p.m. The walk is free to the public and begins in the park pavilion at the Spring Creek Forest Preserve, 1770 Holford Road. The walk is now part of the 4th Sunday Nature Walk series and is designed for both novice and advanced naturalists. It is an excellent way to learn more about our local environment from volunteers including Tom Frey, a regionally acclaimed naturalist. The Preservation Society for Spring Creek Forest meets from 7 to 9 p.m. the first Tuesday of each month at the North Garland Branch Library, 3845 N. Garland Ave. To learn more about the Preservation Society for Spring Creek Forest or about this event, call the Parks, Recreation & Cultrual Arts Department at 972-205-2750 or visit SpringCreekForest.org.
