The Stonewall Jackson Elementary School Junior Players Guild has scheduled a performance of “Shirley Holmes and the FBI” May 18 at Samuel Farms.
The nine-member troup is affiliated with the Sammons Center for the Arts and Ridgewood Recreation Center. The Guild was founded in 1955 as an outgrowth of Brownie troop dramatics. The Guild is Dallas’ oldest children’s theatre organization and provides a variety of theatrical experiences to children of all races, ethnicity or financial resources, according to Nancy Cunningham.
Students participating include Lauren Alexander, Heather Black, Alexander and Emily Cunningham, Jaci Goodman, Amanda Harris, Bina Palnitkar, Kali Schulz and Emily Stone. The Guild is sponsored by TACA, J.C. Penney, the Dallas Cultural Affairs office, and the Dallas Parks and Recreation Department.
The Guild sponsors free summer “Discover” programs at 10 Dallas recreation centers. The programming is geared for children ages 7 to 14, and is offered for two weeks. Advance registration is necessary. Contact Nancy at 813-9366 for more information.
