Break a Leg, They Said

Superstition warns that to wish an actor “good luck” actually brings bad luck, and that instead one should say, “break a leg.” La Grange resident Steve Wynne, playing the role of The Boss in Fayette County Community Theatre’s production, “Of Mice and Men” took the sentiment a little too literally. While the cast and crew put up a perfect performance on opening night, the following morning he fell and wound up in an Austin hospital with a broken femur. But because FCCT firmly believes in “Building Community Through Play,” his castmates came together to ensure the show would go on to entertain audiences Saturday and Sunday in the emotional drama by John Steinbeck.

Turtle Wing Christmas Family Gathering to Feature Ruby McGuill Ministries

Years before Turtle Wing was organized, founder DeeAnn Hooper was wishing there was a way to connect with other parents of children with learning challenges. Like many other parents of special needs children, she felt as if their family functioned in a silo and was disconnected from other families facing the same struggles.
