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 the stage.

The 2022 performance will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 12, at the Plaza Theatre in Downtown Garland. GARLANDPARKS.COM · 972-205-2750  27

Two guided walks will be offered on April 30 and May 1. For more information, visit SpringCreekForest.org.

Join The Society and Garland Parks & Recreation for An Evening with Moths featuring special guest Sam Kieschnick, Urban Wildlife Biologist from Texas Parks and Wildlife. National Moth Week celebrates the beauty, life cycles and habitats of moths. Due to the nocturnal nature of moths, there will be several light sheets set up to attract moths that live in the Preserve. Volunteers will be on hand to answer questions and help with identification. Bring a magnifying glass for a better view of these beautiful moths. 2018-20, the City completed a comprehensive Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Strategic Master Plan. Also for the first time in its history, Garland staff initiated a Trails and Bikeways Master Plan, Cultural Arts Master Plan, Aquatics Master Plan, Downtown Redevelopment Plan and a tourism assessment.

Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Earn State’s Highest Honor The City of Garland Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department received the 2022 Texas Gold Medal Award on Feb. 17. The Gold Medal Award is the highest honor given to a City’s park system by the Texas Recreation and Park Society. It honors departments for excellence in the field of recreation and park management for the past three years. Garland’s entry dates to 2018, when its residents and City Council embarked on its path to the 2019 Bond Program, which included $117 million commitment to recreation facilities, parks and trails. Council members recognized that such a massive endeavor would also require strategic planning and guidance. From

Staff also sought other funding opportunities. The City applied for and was awarded a $750,000 local park matching grant for Lottie Watson neighborhood park development as well as a $1.75 million boating access grant for John Paul Jones Park and boat ramp improvements. It also accessed Community Development Block Grant funds for park projects. Furthermore, the Garland Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts staff launched multiple efforts to update maintenance standards, acquire much-needed equipment and operational funds, improve marketing, grow access to the visual and performing arts, and introduce new and improved programs and events. The Gold Medal honors excellence in long-range planning, resource management, volunteerism, environmental stewardship, program development, professional development and agency recognition. The application is a long, multistep process heavily evaluated by state officials and peers.
