Writers in Performance, an event hosted by Montgomery County Literary Arts Council, will feature Stephanie M Blalock, a Walt Whitman scholar, Thursday, May 1 at 3:00pm to Lone Star College Montgomery, Room G-102 in advance of the Walt Whitman Birthday Celebration.
Over at the Conroe Art League the Annual Student Awards Show is scheduled for Saturday, May 10th, from 6:00- 8 pm with more than $13,000 awarded in 18 show categories. There will also be a $500 award for the Adrianne Gerlach Memorial Art Scholarship for Best Western/Wildlife and an award in the amount of $300 for the Sherry Wagner Memorial Award for the theme Forever Cats. Students do not need to be present to win.
A student may win only one Student Award, but a student winning a Student Award may also win either the Adrianne Gerlach Memorial Scholarship or the Sherry Wagner Memorial Award. Conversely a student who wins either the Adrianne Gerlach or Sherry Wagner award is also eligible to win a Student Award. For example, the art winning the Adrianne Gerlach Award ($500) could also be awarded 1st place and $3,000.00 in the Student Awards.
The eligibility of a student is defined as a high school senior who is attending a Montgomery County public, private or home school. Take-in of the art will be on Friday, May 9th, from 1p.m. to 5p.m. Artwork must be delivered with a completed registration downloaded at https://bit.ly/3GiovGr.
Friday, May 9 begins the three-weekend engagement of “Little Shop of Horrors” at the Owen Theatre. Meek floral assistant Seymour stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” after his coworker love interest. The foul-mouthed, R&B-singing potted carnivore promises unending fame and fortune as long as Seymour continues to feed it blood! Tickets are available at OwenTheatre.com.
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11. I would suggest you make reservations anywhere you would like to go. This is the busiest day for restaurants. Margaritaville Lake Resort will have their annual Mother’s Day Brunch overlooking Lake Conroe from 10:00am-2:00pm in the Del Lago Ballroom. (877) 286-9590.
Be safe. Shop Local. Until next week!
