In June, the Tony Awards were in the air. It inspired me to celebrate Broadway’s biggest night by passing out a few “awards” of my own.

As time goes on now becomes the past
This love and things shared is why we last
So strong and true are bonds we've tied
Emotions and feelings we have can't be denied
Two hearts that beat as one is us
Filled with love and much trust
Our kiss so hot if touched it burns
An addiction so intense for more we yearn
I look deep into your eyes to see your soul
There I see a love so true to have is my goal
This woman in you I've wanted all my life

In Westside Story, Maria and Tony met at the school dance. Danny and Sandy met on a beach vacation in Grease. Plenty of real-life couples meet at college, on trips, in bars, at church or are introduced by friends. But for two Middle-Georgia-born actors, they met...and got married...right here in our local community theatre scene.

Walk a mile in Gary Matheny's shoes as he leads you through his life as a shoe salesman in If the Shoe Fits, Wear It: The Life and Times of a Shoe Salesman. This is a fantastic journey through his trials and troubles to accomplish his 3 dreams in life: to get married, start a family and own his own shoe store. He tells us his story with much humor, insight and inspiring quotes (which he loves) that are peppered all throughout.
