Shreveport’s first, and only, regional ballet company, Louisiana Dance Theatre (LDT) has been selected to close the Regional Dance America/ SW Festival Gala Performance April 10, 2010 at the historic Municipal Auditorium in San Antonio, TX, says Carol Anglin.
This is the highest honor ever bestowed on the Shreveport-based company in its 27-year history, which is usually reserved for Houston and Dallas Metropolitan Ballet companies.

Sadly, current Shreveport census returns at about 50%; complete returns important to econ dev and health services
Writes correspondent Adrienne Critcher, a member of the Shreveport Census Committee: "Shreveport residents currently have returned only 41% to 50% of their Census Forms to date. You can check the rate on a daily basis at http://2010.census.gov/2010census/take10map/. Please help increase our rate of return by reminding everyone you know who lives in Shreveport to return their Census Form Today!"
Listed below are a few of the reasons why their returning their form is important to Shreveport’s future.
● Census data directly affect how more than $400 trillion dollars over the next 20 years in federal and state funding will be allocated to our community to provide funding for economic development, sanitary water and sewer, improved streets, decent housing, roads, job training centers, schools, social services, new hospitals, neighborhood improvements, emergency preparedness and disaster recovery, public health, education, transportation, senior services and much more.
● The Census Bureau’s estimated population for Shreveport in 2008 was 199,729. If the population count at the end of the Census remains below 200,000, Shreveport will be forced to compete with smaller communities for funding projects.
● The 2010 Census helps ensure that you receive your fair share of political representation -- from Congress on down to the local government level.

Shreveport Opera Express @ East Ridge Country Club on Fri, Ap 9, 6:30 pm

Baritone Kevin Richard Doherty, mezzo-soprano Kristen DiNinno, soprano Kathleen Jasinskas and pianist Julius Abrahams are terrific performers. I've also seen Abrahams perform on keyboard with the Baroque Arttists of Shreveport.

Sciport Pre-Easter celebration: make egg tempera paint and launch an egg in a parachute on Sat, Ap 3
Tempera is a permanent fast drying painting medium, says Wikipedia, consisting of colored pigment mixed with a water-soluble binder medium - usually a glutinous material such as egg yolk.
Which gets us round to the Medieval Paint Palette activity which will be part of the Easter Egg-stravaganza at Sci-Port: Louisiana’s Science on Saturday, April 3, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
11 a.m., 1 p.m. & 3:30 p.m.

Jindal's budget cuts target Louisiana Public Broadcasting
"I am writing you as Chair of the Friends of LPB board. As you may have heard, the governor’s office is calling for a $656,000 budget cut by the end of June and a potential $2 million cut beginning in July. To do this LPB will have to eliminate local programming and reduce up to 20% of our staff. We may even have to go off the air on one or two days a week.
There simply is not this much money in our budget to survive these cuts. We need your help.
If you have invested your time and money in our future, please call, e-mail and write the Governor and your legislators now! Remember, private money already pays for all of our programs and education services!
LPB's quality service has taken 35 years to build! Don’t let it be destroyed now.
1. Call the Governor at 225-342-7015 or 866-366-1121.
2. Write the Governor at PO Box 94004, Baton Rouge, LA 70804-9004
3. Call your State Senator at 225-342-2040
4. Call your State Representative at 225-342-6945
5. Click here to send e-mails directly to your legislators.
Most importantly, forward this alert to your friends. The more people who call or write, the better our chances are to Save LPB!"

Rosa Dunn

45 paintings in Hoover show at Barnwell Art Center at high level of competency and collectibility
Some 45 large compositions by members of the Hoover Watercolor Society hang in the Barnwell Center.
In many ways the members of the Hoover represent the vanguard of artists in this region. These are well-schooled and skilled artists. Most of these painters have functioning studios. More than avid observers of life's simple pleasures, they have developed the discipline and technique to capture those scenes.
The Hoover artists have not gotten their work to the walls of the Barnwell by slapping down color while sipping vintage libations (indeed, there may be exceptions).
These artists are highly collectible. When you view them, you'll see how well their work fits your living space. The prices are, if I may say so, damned affordable - most of them in the $300 to $600 range.
See a few of my favorites here. I look forward to your posting the names of the artists who you like.

Art instruction for bored teens in Highland to offset mischief: Rachel Scott and Su Stella at Noel Methodist
Su Stella- Meili says, "I am working with Rachel Scott at the Noel Methodist Church in the Highland area looking for Teachers for subjects like music, dance, photography, jewelry making.... possibly public murals.
We are beginning to have a 'mischief' problem, mainly with bored teenage males in our neighborhood. These are not bad kids; they are bored. They are doing things like swiping shopping carts and crashing into each other in the street. With summer coming they will have too much time on their hands.
*Many of these kids have working parents that are not home until evening.
We are looking for teachers with fresh ideas to capture these kids attention and keep them busy Before they wind up in trouble.
We Don't need grandma's knitting; we need exciting ideas to interest this age group and are we willing to listen to all ideas!
