competing groups face deadlines for redrawing city council district lines one group is a city council itself to call a meeting to order the other is a redistricting commission that answers to federal judge jerry bock meyer commission has reviewed maps to create fourteen single member districts the city council is designing apps for ten single member and four quadrant based district the city hopes it's planned will support an appeal of the judge's order form a municipal elections based on the fourteen single member district plan but creating districts that would help more minorities when city council elections has become a demographic jigsaw puzzle with some of the pieces missing this is tidal in the senate talent said no one in his right to leave this type of nonsense the dallas city council's blueprint drew a chamber full of opponents last week
this week a lone protester was council member alex cohen that's the majority city election maps the council was to select one wednesday that might pass us justice department's scrutiny but this election was delayed until monday giving the council more time to refine its maps like the city council the redistricting commission got more time to draw new election maps the challenge of creating a politically strong minority districts so public hated the commission needed a two day extension and relaxed population figures to devise its redistricting plan it

years it is it millions of americans are not getting done senator bentsen use the occasion to
attack the republicans or what he called the decade of indulgent so what lessons of all time is the media empire come to govern this country without bipolar research corps for millions of americans work harder just trying to stay even utter the wealthiest of the wealthy or the top one percent of the economic burden of protecting ground when i'm eighty seven showed a blatant during an economic downturn this is the ultimate legacy of reaganomics senator nunn linked american economic problems with what he described as the disintegration of the family unit he said the government has a wall to play in american family life all right
is ho but we need to start doing is pick out their family immediately but at the time the charts born and hope that mother pope teacher abbey another world of film is welcome at the thinkers that an example of government intrusions well families that are on welfare families that's it existed and success on the government's money it seems to me don't really have a choice if you are getting money from the government to raise your children are a huge fan
of the government something in terms of competent parenting finishing high school being drug free et cetera and i think we've got a startling keen that back up if we ever expect to break these very destructive cycles of poverty z's how it is it
is and at ninety five frederick remington painted the fall of the cowboy as a funeral dirge for a way of life you thought would die as cattle ranchers danced in the open range it little did he know that the western romance he helped create would long outlive him to become a net people cling to even in the space age eighteen cattle marketing has changed since the days of louis isn't trail and huge cattle drives to work from becoming a ghost town and over the years for worse economy has diversified industries like defense electronics and aviation have replaced the cattle industry in building the city's wealth recent layoffs in an uncertain economy have caused forward to look to its past selling a starter of the old west has become very profitable for the rapidly
growing tourist business in under three industry in texas and projected to be number one by the year two thousand we were in the park oh what is where the expansion is an indictment of the american economics you know we've got to be active and we're going to be successful in this area and that the basis of of doing that you know was planted along time ago named carter was one of those that did it carter was probably the single greatest promoter before were scout and heritage he was early publisher of the fort worth star telegram which still boast that fort worth is where the west begins carter's comments fuel the rivalry with dallas that some say still exist today that's it roger really stressed president
witherspoon associates one ad agency responsible for promoting or worse image some of the city fathers think miss representation of the modern character of today's for work i think there is a little bit of a conflict a potential conflict between those that would like to say for worse say become another dallas or another houston and those who would prefer to see it returning some of those western frontier based values that it has and characteristics the television show dallas has influenced the way the world sees the city and state are recruited in one movement texas form after them for ticket to sue for friendship up for success and that to me a test only a pioneer spirit of the twentieth century singing
in reality the show focused on sex and power everyone think within our own enemies know that cause i'm not sure that it's the ability that balance would one ahead exactly but it's certainly given ballots plenty of exposure worldwide we're envious of them in terms of how they created an image which is not exactly there the real dallas and i mean i don't mind all these people coming to gasoline in malls restaurants so michigan it's likely unhappy about the endangered answer endure the cash registers and rings away in the recent self promotion and at its cowboy image this
show you want to be the cowboys in fort worth said is serious business he spends with pride what about doing what it is a big part of our of our local economic base and certainly one it's important we can afford to ignore i think the real difference is that dallas has an image that is actually larger than it is and force image is not as large as it actually is and that that's kind of the paradox these days cat scan of yesteryear is now past history but don't try telling that to people still selling
and forth it's a reality letters ah ahh lose learn well you want
to close but it's been on religion porn bombs because they find is hers is
william rathburn used a bit of humor to begin his first news conference on monday juan manuel into my first day as you please and allison i know absolutely nothing about the department and the city what you'll find is a department that is still under fire and is understaffed in a city that is suffering a dramatic high and violent crime you'll find department with tattooed around we've got paul really didn't feel good about ourselves and then this is the whole fleet we have to have somebody at the top to stand there and say know these officers were these younger officers they do a good job many officers feel the community expects too much from its police force and its chief they are setting up an expectation of the chief that because of his background that he is going to be able to resolve a lot of the issues that are really not within the police
department around march some of the social issues the economic situation and certainly the political environment i have something that you whether he can address it or not people still expect them to have something to say about it many community leaders feel racial divisions inside the department are affecting police were on the streets the officers of color aren't able to get along with each other and get along with an officer's they're not going to be able to relate or to deal in a very positive manner with communities of color so i'm i'm hoping that he will be able to improve upon the relationships amongst the officers themselves and then have that extend to the officers relationships with the community the department currently is seventy six percent anglo sixteen percent african american and seven percent hispanic thirteen percent of the officers are women the affirmative action
goals are to double minority representation by september of nineteen ninety two however many white officers feel the plan is reverse discrimination and many black officers say the department is dragging its feet on promotions both sides have filed lawsuits in federal court in chief rathburn may be unable to resolve the dispute himself western according to stay in the courts until they get settled by the court because this is basically setting policy that's a reference to the promotions that's the city council didn't have thing to do actually and chief rathburn is not the political and the authority to be able to sell officers are also upset with years of only modest pay hikes and an actual pay cut in nineteen eighty six there is a renewed push for a collective bargaining agreement but rumors are spreading that another pay cut this country you just cannot keep spammers train i want to do more pointed to more quick to do more work and accomplices force and after six years we
get real time hearing the same thing and then see the money go to some parking lots were stark let's see the money go to the city center an hour seen thirty million dollars possibly going to cobble outside the department people are concerned what might happen to rathburn if he pushes for too much reform too quickly many observers feel that fire chief meg ryans was set up by officers resistant to change i think the possibility exists that anyone who comes into wanting to totally revamp the department makes a major reforms does run the risk of being ousted of being removed i think what rapper can maybe show was is that you can do all of these things successfully the new chief one place this week for the way he handled news of a brutal beating incident by police in los angeles referee comes to dallas from los angeles and these pictures of officers they are repeating an african american suspect has shocked the
country or for someone he met with some of the bob i believe it was captains and today he's making meeting with tenants and i was the subject of discussion that the you know this video it's something that i wanted to understand well don't be tolerated here and that the message has been passed on that we will be viewing as he wants us to be very critical of it into this gaza have an honest discussion rathburn immediately condemned the beating in a newspaper article in the los angeles times so maura many observers think rathburn will get a bit of a honeymoon being an outsider who said he's number one priority is to learn about the house i think if the city leaves achieve alone at least long enough to learn about the apartment at that orientation period pass them through see what kind of job he's doing before based rj kinnaman and five six different directions and refuge to all this is what we want and this is what i want to see what the guy's going to
end maybe that's who we were wrong we the entire community with that mindset in our haste to get to know him we did provided with an opportunity to get to know his underfunded its own rank and file and that eventually was downfall z's you set a most people entering the exhibit did notice the signs
that warn them again smoking and so ironically the haitian a smokers' rights is at the heart of the controversy surrounding the traveling exhibit a controversy few visitors seem to wear out as they wandered through the high tech display the center of attraction is the state of virginia's original copy of the bill of rights the document is elaborately presented in a glass case filled with nitrogen gas in a room filled with patriotic music scene tour through the fifty states will cost some sixteen million dollars to have picked up by philip morris companies the nation's leading cigarette manufacturer tonight but many health related organization subject philip morris sponsorship saying it indirectly encourages small
they marry and selling it to americans severely compromises the american lung association has published a so called philip morris beloved bronx it accuses the company of using its financial clout to suppress information about the health effects of smoking we can't argue with a bill of rights were very much in favor of it but we want people to realize is that in addition to freedom of speech and freedom of advertising our society freedom to seek knowledge we wish to educate the public about the addictive quality of their products nicotine we have some insurance
most of the nearly thirty thousand people in huge exhibit in dallas were schoolchildren american lung association claims tobacco companies like philip morris need to attract five thousand new smokers a day in order to maintain their revenues from tobacco sales lung association case the bill of rights to work as a cynical attempt to purchase positive name recognition the message is that it's similar to the subtle message that tobacco companies to carry when they sponsor other cultural and sporting events the name recognition that cigarette companies have this vast and people will pick up on this is phillip morris the marlboro man a company sponsoring this very cultural and then philip morris strongly denies any attempt to recruit children are smokers the company emphasizes that the tour is designed to appeal to all ages and has nothing whatsoever to do with marketing any philip morris products ironically smoking is prohibited

bases move them around to keep them and suffocate they also talk the snacks for the spectators can see them by his shoes shined shoes actually is snake handler bill ramsburg words tricks to show how far rattlesnakes can strike lawyers because by fbi it is rattlesnake roundup have begun to attract demonstrators from animal rights
organizations about one hundred picketers drove to sweetwater this year and line the entrance to the coliseum snakes are very important predator in a certain niche of the ecology and are the most important order of mice rats and rabbits and that's why they should be left alone jim cycle is an electrical engineer from austin texas has been organizing protests at rattlesnake roundup surprise to stay i really don't care about that while i think it's going to move away from the gathering if i investigate a weight on it and then it's the writing that really given an opportunity to run away from them has the most graphic display of his the skimming hmm a he sees chop off the rattlesnakes had a machete a disembodied head can still buy court to our bases then remove
rattlesnakes gear that's right right now businesses are really good at it most spectators didn't seem to
mind the public portion of rattlesnakes but it's a bit lighter and tax bill keeping the population that might vacillate livestock and that also if they said it was a rattlesnake roundup is the biggest event of the year in sweetwater texas agencies say they make thirty thousand dollars in three days and donate two thirds of the money to local charities but the group is facing increased pressure to stop the round in nineteen eighty eight the national jc had we're still it's sweetwater chapter that was creating a bad image for the organization's headquarters strongly urge the local jaycees to find another way to earn money for charity sweetwater jaycees said no it's an image whale than that we're proud and

a worldwide program to protect exotic snake species you like to see well snacks protected too it's difficult for any animal oracle this year it not so large educated north like know for a whale arby's so cute did you see a picture of it and just i'm really pulls at your heartstrings they know there is a danger that we are going to exterminate everest bc level earth that's either not economically important to settle for metal r b rattlesnake hunting is illegal in some states in texas you must have a ten dollar general hunting license to ken smith there are no rules on how many you can catch or what time of year you can catch the wildlife officials are doing research to see if that should change fathers like rodney kinsey photos protection let's roll thirty five years ago
and most of the pre haircut with people don't have to live here to live and we were working every day we see a lot of next scientists aren't certain what effect rattlesnake hunting has on the long term survival of this piece but they do say that spraying gasoline to catch rattlesnakes and hurts other animals that live underground using gasoline is illegal in texas but the law has never been and for others say gas is the only way to get at the snacks it's a return to use more of a mystery writer and not open up the novel and put gas into the hole but if you use more of a minister a vapor in the whole i think if you're not heard anything texas officials are also considering regulations for the rattlesnake souvenir business of sweet water you can buy rattlesnake key chains and during our bill fultz belts and boots even snake skin begins anytime you have an animal that's worth a lot of money not want easy to
catch and kill number two and people love the hives very popular number three that animal made some protection you know oh we proved conclusively over the course of human history that if we wore a mammal and we like it and there's no protection level and doesn't matter how many of them are out there we can't hug them out there's no question it needs protection where our ears our bread and butter within the latest about it would inevitably and he he has sahar
the early years the organization launched its boycott by dumping african coffee grounds into the reflection pool in front of dallas city hall a gesture symbolic of the boston tea party taxation without representation is the sclc hopes to stop the flow of convention dollars into the city by urging groups across the country not to come to big d although the boycott was announced on tuesday by thursday there was another news conference to announce a grace period of slow the sclc now says it will begin its boycott efforts in earnest the game a first pass chapter president robert hanley defends the organization against criticism that it often backs down what's it like to fire the sclc has a national organization that has a very well respected tradition as the organization of protests i'm quite frankly the dallas chapter doesn't have that
same sort of reputation over the years there have been instances when that the dallas chapter of the sclc has not carried through on some of its planned commitments and as a result there has been some skepticism from when the boycott first was threatened that perhaps this wouldn't this wouldn't materialized how would you address those concerns first of all thank you for asking me that question and it allows me to give people a clear view of the dallas chapter of the southern christian leadership conference we have always maintained doing the proper thing from the orders of our national office and as a local chapter because they're under the direction of our executive director there have been some times in which he has had to leave guns
but i address those concerns by saying that sclc has a longstanding organization has always been here there have been some times that the people they were supposed to come in that were supposed to help the local chapter may it had a change in plans are changing schedules they were not able to be here and that not only happens to the southern christian leadership conference but that happens all groups one of the things that we are doing right now is making sure that our membership this fall in making sure that the commitments that we deer are kept the sclc was really at the very backbone of the civil rights movement and at that time was was really much in the public eye and people knew all about it in the state and there are a lot of people they don't know what the organization is backing so explain what the goals of the organization about both nationally and ending with the dallas chapter is all about the click and first of all the southern christian leadership conference was founded by dr groopman dr martin
luther king and we talked about regaining the soul of america reading the soul of america names noble won those who weren't blighted situations or people there no matter whether that they're black white jewish doesn't matter but where that there is injustice anywhere you've heard dr king say is a threat to justice everywhere so quite frankly we give the opportunity of those are hurting because of oppression to be really invite issues pertaining to that we also give those that are of the oppressor an opportunity to have the relief of knowing that they no longer have to press people and this year it is our concern and we are following the leadership of dr joseph lowery who not only helps us to see parity in economics parody and not being the only ones that have to fight the drug situation and have to deal with them around to ease of people across this nation so one of the things that is most important to us this year is voter registration and voter
education because we have spent too many lies and times more jay pertaining to the right to vote and when it gets right down to it that's what we're fighting today taxation without representation equals frustration and essentially it is not giving those people who have earned their right to vote the road was a sign that the boycott then i'm can really be effective there's been a lot of speculation about whether you can really pull it off especially on in light of the fact that there hasn't been on at least up until this point a really united support in the minority community for this effort so are you optimistic that be the boycott to work i'm totally optimistic that this boycott can work and will work the sclc has striven to try and give the city of dallas an opportunity not to be heard by economics we do understand that sometimes people will
only listen to us when we have severe where sanctions or actually the reward bluntly to get in their pocket but the the connections that we do have nationally will be stronger now to make this boycott a reality and that is the reason why we have because that the city council has asked us to wait for a few days or to wait for a week because quite frankly wanted the start it is not something that can be stopped really ease up do you think you're going to be able to get the nation to rally around this issue i know you've pointed to what's going on in arizona the successful boycott they are the fact that you know it is a very real example of how a community a very large community can be hurt economically but do you think you can get the nation to rally around this issue and dallas yes at number one if you lose your voting rights in
dallas it will be long before usually rides in louisiana and it trickles down to arkansas trickles over to mississippi trickles up to missouri and people understand that when someone has broken the back of being able to have a fair representation when it speaks to the voting in the civil rights and then they realize that they come next year i'm sure but the same question was asked to dr king when the bus boycott started right there with sister rosa parks and quite frankly it did take a whole because people realize that it was the same common goal that they were dealing with so yes if it happens here in dallas in this working on single member district is not is not instituted and it goes all the way to the supreme court than you have a reason for anymore and across this country to take the same kind of measures and steps against a ruling that has been done when it was found to be
illegal as far as the sunni former government what will happen if the year federal court decides in rules to have to quash the city's appeal we stopped a protest at that point yes certainly you know quite frankly that's one of the reasons why that everything has not been done all it wants because as i mentioned to you once that you ask people now that's a kind of doubt because of the way that it is treating their people and being unfair as far as the right to vote then it's going to be very arduous to stop the wake up from going on and to be in effect ho
is it they were gathered from all over the islamic tenth centuries where the treasure is meant to eliminate the rich heritage cardenas spain ceramics from iran from india and runs from iran over seventy five hundred artworks were collected by the kuwait royal family the officer barnes and housed at the kuwait national museum much of kuwait city is now in ruins in the national museum's collection is missing reportedly limited possibly destroy but by a tree
cafe an important part of the collection was staying even as kuwait city was liberated one hundred and seven objects from its national museum are being installed in fort worth's campbell art museum they had been chosen for an international tour by art historian as an arty a guest curator from the smithsonian institution in washington well fortunately the objects had already been sent out of kuwait and placed on display at the hermit lived in leningrad before august second so this was the only group that was saved from the invasion almost may seventy seven make sure that different periods different techniques and styles we're properly represented an islamic art is
beautiful and functional each archer tells a story from every day life it is simply aren't religious books particularly in copies of the koran that one finds the highest art is that beautiful illumination where several tones of gold are used to highlight the opening pages chapter heading spend significant for states but more importantly the development of a leader lead the fine art of writing and calligraphy is a high art candidate has become the dominant decorative be on these objects still these are wonderful they get off laurel scrolls are filling the background but it is going to give three that is meaningful
mr westergaard but i think that what is interesting about this art is the precisely because it is an art of large numbers of people in art of objects done by craftsmen are the objects could be multiplied in large numbers and to be transferred to walk from one place to another as the islamic faith grew from the eighth century to the eighteenth so did the reach of islamic artists all the techniques used on glass had already been established in the roman period what the islamic glass makers did weston make it more accessible more decorative and increase the number of production there's something very basic and wonderful about poverty it's plastic it's meant to be held it's functional art it is also quite central
to hold a pot to use it and that is one of my favorite pieces it's almost whimsical an active member of islamic art does have a great sense of humor here for instance there's this rather pompous majestic lion the king of the beast stalking through the words and the tiny air whimsically jobs over it's making fun of itself the designs these decorative pins and paper before transmitting them to the partners as we see in
this type of an abstract design and partially identical to the declaration and the large double find a very similar to what we're seeing on the right mr lugo was used as a base on top of which more precious materials would be embed it and now most and jen stops in fact it's very similar to what happened in manuscript illuminations where the goat background is really the base so it has the same concept of goat used as the background with a pained guilty or material itself which is very characteristic of islamic tradition is by american audiences seem eager to learn more about the islamic world through islamic art art not just decided
to say well it certainly suggested the kuwaitis invested their money wisely of years this is not to add art but they are spread their money around and that they can get a lot of it back you see all this fear for an instant you realize that most of its losses on a tiny fraction that iran might sell things personally touched by such tragedy our law leaving is not canning refugees from kuwait were now living in denton they attended the exhibit on opening day i believe that this means the needle can get an important part and i would see a beautiful part to that ad they steered the church which everyone has seen them laws and i hold that it kanzi is a message which was possessed for so many generations
and fortunately it was like it is in contrast to that image that had been where so many things and would be very valuable things were destroyed the objects and say i really don't people don't destroy objects they kill people they have to lock their cultural heritage has more than its intrinsic monastery and look around most of the objects conflict iraq i'm very confident they might be rocky colleagues in taking excellent care of their own cultural heritage belongs to the whole world at this life and not only that but the whole world civilization teacher he's is
it nice nice we see these homecoming was almost nightly on the news but for thousands of vietnam veterans these scenes are reopening old wounds where i come onto it was there was nothing he's a weed is just a restiveness
the immigrants who live in the mountain bob inglis was a marine in vietnam he thought probably received two purple hearts of the physical and emotional scars have left him unable to hold down a job for now he's a stay home dad taking care of his four year old son nathan i gather that's good you get one that you have something that's in your lives did you kind of away in a chester new york and overtly goes back but the desert storm of fisa do you listen to us and it brought back memories of our friends who died there they've been vocal
and no try but black and with everything i've got soldiers in every war have had to confront the emotions of pain guilt fear and horror but during vietnam see eyes were returning to a hostile home front and for sound that made it very difficult to heal two five and he flew with busey has the workers coming home there was no common problem and we didn't ever we just tried to disappear when you come home we didn't talk about and i wouldn't tell anybody where we've been fortunately we wouldn't we didn't have any our scars to show that we were not really been aware of them going off my wife michael baum tried to cope with vietnam by ignoring he threw himself into his work of
vengeful a starting a successful surveying company he avoided veterans organizations anything that would remind him of death and destruction but then came desert storm wow just two hours ago allied air forces begin an attack on military targets in iraq and kuwait fiona or forced out over there five i was with a friend of mine who was also that neither one of us could watch the tv we walked into another room faith at crt aka thirtieth a facility utilized value of situations but how they do it today so with the smart bombs and the outcome and then three weeks ago when this war in a cigar with you when you're in the jungle just the thought of denying just a lot of in the memory of people buying and
what that all the wall was too painful when desert storm began the ground war in particular veterans assistance centers were flooded with desperate calls for help and it's interesting that a lot of them will say that i could feel myself becoming hypervigilant again i felt on guard at night i felt like when the first bombing started i wanted to go out and grab my rifle and they go home and get ready for the fall i'd richard pie council's vietnam veterans if they can talk to folks while to violate their feelings and usually we see owen start to occur some soldiers are finding that the persian gulf war can help them resolve some feelings about vietnam when i found out you know it was and charged that was interesting general blum are then a major was dom's commanding officer in vietnam
in desert storm boomer successfully commanded the artillery forces on the front lines i mean as a sense of pride that there're so my comrades were able to fight that they were able to take care of that situation any sense i feel good about that that's coming back because i think they'll be able to make it a little easier than i had to make it so they'll be less guy stared in the same lionel richie about fighting for your rights there's hope that term because of the because we are recognizing what a soldier does contribute to society that will recognize vietnam veterans contribution to society twenty years ago twenty some odd years ago and as a result the vietnam veteran will be rewarded ultimately help us out and as you say you haven't been able to come so neumann who
justified by being you know just the fact that they cared about and there's a sense that nobody care in the sense that nobody can get us to give your life and those who didn't give her on to your mind and you basically are also and that nobody cared you would think that we may i do the same for the parking lot of the same treatment yeah you do and close to the reason for its usual angry and they have to college are low which allies z's it
is ho these high school actors are warming up for rehearsal they are getting ready to create what they called magic the masked magician is high school drama teacher gilbert's affair the students call him see a performance at the la mother was a teacher and a lot of them fifty i like was he is the drummer for the three small south texas town that serves our sons on alamo high school or pst eight for short he says the same thing that has led the school took an eleven year winning streak in south texas drama tournaments this year the students are
performing a satire on hamlet entitled rosenkrantz and guilt instrument there's a lot of if there are going to be a product they're going to happen i will go there the rest of the year firstly here that have to succeed sit there that his staff asked students have had to overcome many social and economic obstacles the school isn't double county in the rio grande valley is one of the poorest areas in texas in rural villages and killing many houses don't have indoor plumbing agriculture is the backbone of the valley's economy but wages are low for migrant workers most of them mexican immigrants or mexican americans there is it that i grew up in the rio grande valley in a small town
about an hour away from the school he had offers to teach in other texas cities they chose to stay in the valley it always been my dream to come back here and to try to do something that was giving me i'm just like a this is home yes for floyd health and develop themselves and they get stronger not afraid to get up and perform normally the kids come in the program are not going to be on broadway and not only in hollywood but the main issue is how we're mostly of the classes are teaching information or facts and figures are numbers and the arts give a chance for instance to learn how to learn they have projects and deadlines that have pork in the group cicadas successes drive and personality have helped boost the program's popularity among students not just complete series a friend also these cow like
when you have a problem he doesn't just worry about how it can affect you why you're performing he worries about if you're gonna fix it to rest your life if you can survive there it it's a professional relationship that it's an informal relationship that it's not well easing write your life very much marilyn prime is a don't give up and so i say try and do whatever i wanted classes the students a chance to succeed and travel drama tournaments in other cities and see live outside of the valley is one of the biggest advances the annual winter scholarship auditions for students serious about a career in the utterly the auditions attract high school students from throughout the state also know surrounded by students who do things differently and those are the people that they'll compete against for jobs later and by watching the other people from the other towns they say what they're up against learn how to cope and the other side a
double county seniors dina romero and michael ischemia competed against one hundred in texas high school students college acting scholarships oh yes three hours later dean and michael check to see which any universities were impressed enough with their performances to call them that work in athens
michael learned a university's wanted to see him you know being outspent the rest of the afternoon talking to college recruiters that's right two more of the same process the day before david fallis behind the scenes as a theater technician who operates it sound like all the suddenness because i have all these chances like i did go off but i had no idea i was part of the point you know i have unified their choices and then others get seventy votes like they were going to stay here so let's not bad for a small town a lot of people get very surprised by the level of quality amongst the students and the level of which they can perform and currently sells and the good
side of what's happening here a lot of this building is magic that the word is written and the way this place of maggie may have the magic happen opening night for rosenkrantz and guilt and despite the big time pressure is only a high school play and a lead actors must dash starts falling off this plate and other protections that city have the students here and affect them and the community as well will average about ten thousand people for a place in a community with fifty thousand people were hitting one out of five and that's almost entirely hispanic audience so one out of five people in this community see theater at least once a year
with her children's theater production and the state department to craft a u l cheese it is
