Get Buggy with a Worm, a Spider and a Fly

Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly - Full Cast

by Mina Frannea

In its regional Southwest premiere, Dallas Children’s Theater’s Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly artfully weaves together three of Doreen Cronin’s popular children’s books. Directed by Joan Cushing, Diary of a Worm, a Spider and a Fly brings to life a cast of lively and colorful characters. The show combines engaging story lines with interesting facts designed to educate the audience about each of the characters. The factual tidbits are nicely done via a large screen in the background, classroom show & tell sessions and occasional “pop up” appearances by the cast that are quite funny! The production also incorporates several high energy musical/dance arrangements featuring hip hop, rap, ballads and boogie-woogie music.

A Review of Arbuckle Wilderness in Oklahoma

Holly’s sKoop: An afternoon at Arbuckle Wilderness

by Holly Duenas

Our family is a HUGE fan of America’s Funniest Home Videos. My husband especially….he loves laughing at other people’s misfortunes. He’s sweet like that.  And I believe my kids have inherited his sense of humor as well. I hear them laughing nonstop during this television show. We’ve noticed that almost every episode of AFV has a family driving through one of those drive-thru safari experiences where someone’s face almost gets pecked off by an ostrich or a hand gets chomped by a zebra. So we thought, hey, let’s go do that! Heck, we might even win $100,000 someday with a funny video we submit to AFV. Okay, maybe not.
