How does a play go from script to performance? Join Baylor's
Department of Theater Arts as Guilherme Almeida and Michael
Sullivan unpack the journey from play selection, auditions,
blocking and rehearsals, to set, lighting, and sound design, then
learn about stage managing and props as well as costumes and
make-up. The final session will be a visit and tour of the Baylor
theaters. Space is limited, so sign up early.

Explore the rich history of local media that reported the news
locally and to the world. In four sessions, several aspects of Waco
media history will be explored. Ken Sury will cover Waco-area
newspapers and magazines; Carl Hoover will share his take on the
Iconoclast and other off-beat journalism; Ann Harder and Bruce
Gietzen will reflect on their long careers in television newscasting;
and Robert Darden will lead a session on the vast media coverage
of the 51-day siege of the Branch Davidian compound outside
Waco.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Dept services 95 state parks and
historic sites, 51 wildlife management sites and numerous field
offces. All of these areas provide interesting and informative
programs for visitors as well as camping and hunting sites. Larry
Smith will take a comprehensive look at these locations with
critical information for creating a personal "Bucket List,” whether
or not participants plan to just enjoy hearing about Texas
highlights or actually planning an outing.

The early church was developed through ideas and practices
that still influence the church today, but who were the influencers
and how were decisions made? Bill Pitts will cover the formation
of the Bible; beliefs that became the foundation of theology;
Jesus as divine or human; types of spirituality (monasticism or
mysticism); how God is encountered through worship; church
organization; church expansion (missions); and the Church/State
relationship.

Join Ann Harder and Lydia Bratcher and their talented friends for
another of their fun singalongs! Reflecting on “memory lane”
through the years, they will include those songs that defined
eras through life. The back stories of composers and lyricists will
be shared, along with the songs. Come and vocalize together --
or simply sit and listen!
