Drama Night at Just People, Inc.




Darla, Terry Stahl, Paul Croxwell

      Last Sunday we were in the audience as Just People's 2010-2011 Drama Club presented "A Tribute to Theater and Music."  The cast, crew, and staff have been rehearsing on Saturdays for a year! Their hard work certainly paid off. It was a wonderful show. Selections from "High School Musical," "The Lion King," "Grease", and "Footloose" were just some of the highlights.  We were excited because Paul was able to meet us and share the evening with us. Congratulations to Becky Dowling and all of the participants.  This is their second annual performance.  Mark your calendar and plan to be there next year.  You don't want to miss it!

     The Day Program was developed to provide people who do not work or live with their family, a place to go during the day. They are able to be among friends, learn skills to help them move forward, and to have the opportunity to go out into the community. The main office, which is also home to the Day Program, is located at 1420 Oakbrook Drive, Norcross, GA 30093. Recently I visited this facility.
