The Easter Bunny Has Been Spotted in the Tri-State

On the show this morning, we had a lengthy discussion about Easter. It involved everything from Easter candy to a debate on whether to take the word 'Easter' out of egg hunts. Which, by the way, got VERY heated. I will address THAT over the weekend. :-) Any way, I mentioned that I had actually seen the Easter Bunny hopping around in downtown Evansville hiding his eggs. A listener has ALSO seen the furry little guy, but he wasn't hopping around. He even took a picture.

Ark Crisis Child Care Center Plans Fairy Tale Ball

In my previous life, before radio, I worked with kids. It was a time in my life that I found the most rewarding. All of my students brought so much life into my life. Well, some were more reluctant to shine their light than others. LOL But each and every one of them taught me more than I could have ever taught them.

One of my former students, whom I am SO proud of, is working with the Arc Crisis Center. She asked me if I would help them get the word out about a magical and remarkable event for children in crisis.

Things To Do This Weekend – Enjoy High School Theatre

All over the Tri-State, students spend 6 to 10 weeks preparing for ONE weekend. They spend those weeks learning blocking, lines, character development, sometimes music; building sets, gathering props, making costumes, setting light cues, utilizing sound equipment and selling tickets. Through these tasks they are learning skills that are invaluable, skills that many of them will not learn in the class room. Countless hours are put in to meet a deadline. Unlike sports teams that have an entire season to try and perfect their game, students of theatre have one weekend, one chance to give you a winning performance.
