Annetta doing their part for Monarch butterflies
When we see a child on a swing, playing hide-and-seek, or chasing a butterfly, we are reminded that it is the little things that bring us the greatest joy. The late American author and motivational speaker Leo Buscaglia once said, “I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things… I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.”
Popcorn Players ride off into the sunset
AZLE — Over the weekend, the Azle Arts Association’s Popcorn Players wrapped up its yearly melodrama to a cacophony of yuks and yee-haws. “How the West Was Dun or Left High and Dry in Low Humidity Chasm” spoofed classic Hollywood Westerns with generous helpings of humor and popcorn to boot. Audience members were encouraged to interact with the cast by throwing bags of recycled popcorn at the play’s villains when they exited and entered the stage. Theater staff reported having a full house for all six performances, often selling out of tickets days in advance. Scott Nurmela directed the show and kept audiences well-stocked in popcorn munitions for three hours of histrionics. This stampede of silliness was composed of heroes and villains of all ages, from ranahans to greenhorns.
