Broadway Brought To Parkwood With Spring Musical, The Fantasticks

This story begins a little more than seventy-five years ago in a small town in Texas. A young boy and a young girl went to grade school together. On Sundays, they were at Sunday school, where the girl’s mother left such an impression on the boy as his teacher, that years later he described her as one of the most influential women in his life.

Skip ahead to 1948, when the young man and the young woman were reunited as undergraduates at the University of Texas. Their friendship strengthened as they flourished amongst the young and talented minds they met. He studied art, but teamed up with a creative friend to write variety shows. Four years flew by. They went where life was taking them. Time passed and she married, but they kept in touch by yearly correspondence.
 

Powder Puff For Relay For Life!

Crowds cheering from the grandstands, cheerleaders cartwheeling and clapping, players running and catching a football: the makings of a typical high school football game at Parkwood High. However, it is the day before Spring Break, and these particular football players wear nail polish and bows in their hair. It is the Powder Puff game, a Relay for Life fundraiser planned by Student Council and Interact Club.
