This production is a departure from standard theatre. Eugene Ionesco is one of the leaders of the Theatre of the Absurd. The two one acts are dark comedies that explore the idea of the chaos of the modern world. Although written in the 1950's, the plays are very contemporary in their impact.

Christine Vonder Haar was a member of the very first All Girls' Programming Contest Team Championship in the spring of 2014. This year, she wanted to defend her title, but other girls who could be on the team were attending a math tournament...so, Christine decided to be a team of one! Teams ordinarily have 3 members.
She and her family journeyed to Plano West High School over the weekend to defend Paschal's title.
SHE CAME IN 2ND PLACE BY HERSELF! She was very close to 1st place, but had a small coding error.
CONGRATULATIONS, CHRISTINE!

After a short hibernation, the flamingos are back in action! This is a great way to have fun and help the band at the same time. Order a flock of flamingos to be placed in someone's yard to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, graduation-or just for fun! The birds will mysteriously appear the day you want and then be whisked away during the night. What a creative way to make a day unforgettable! And it's only $30! |
