DAD celebrates
Dance Academy of Duncan (DAD) is in its eighth year of carrying out a common vision of keeping classical dance in Stephens County.
The organization will hold a free recital at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Simmons Center Theater.
Owls flock to tea
Owls took over the Prairie House last week, and a good time was had by all.
Members of GFWC Owl Study Club observed April 24 — the 118th anniversary of the formal beginning of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs — with a tea at the restored historic home. The occasion marked the club’s first official meeting at the Prairie House, even though the local GFWC groups had contributed to the restoration project, and members and their guests were treated to tours of the house.
Many of the Owl Study Club members brought out vintage hats and gloves for the occasion, as women who visited the home in the era in which the Foreman family occupied it might have worn. Although earlier visitors might have experienced a more formal atmosphere, the Owl gathering was a less serious, more entertaining event.
Heartbeat showcases ‘Dance Like a Rock Star’
Heartbeat Dance Studio will present its 24th annual spring showcase for dance, “Dance Like a Rock Star,” at 6:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. May 4 in the Simmons Center Theatre.
This year’s production will incorporate jazz, tap, ballet, point, lyrical and hip-hop numbers set to rock music.

Artistic ‘Llama Lady’
