Recruiting near and far ... Derek Dooley is trapped between a rock and a hard place.

Black N o w that she’s retired, and talent is no longer delivered to her classroom, sometimes she has to go looking for it. And sometimes it appears unbidden, when she’s looking for something else.

Satterfield, Diane Oliver and Bryan Yow; and the men’s quartet from Powell United Methodist Church. Later in the season, Black will collaborate with one of her former students, Halls High School drama teacher Kim Hurst, who will cast and direct her students in “Puss and Boots,” and next April they will bring the production to the Powell Playhouse. “We will help them any way we can,” Black said. The rest of the schedule will include “Arsenic and Old Lace” in October, an arts and crafts show in November, a comedy night in January, “Are We Listening – the Diary of Adam and Eve; I Can’t Hear You” and “The Odd Couple” in June. Black, a 1955 Powell High School graduate, founded the Powell Playhouse in 1972 when a group of her best students wanted to do a summer play. She revived it after her retirement in 2005. She says it still inspires her. “I love finding talent. It just blows my mind. Thrills me to death.”

Prayer is a mystery in and of itself. What it means, how it works, how it varies from circumstance to circumstance (not to mention voice to voice)—all of these factors are as many and varied as the words that are used.
