Speak in Music (Hairspray Flyer)

Who wants a twig, when you can climb the whole tree?

The curtain will soon be on. The audience will open their eyes. Golden ladies are putting on Hairspray at D67 Division C X'mas Party this coming Saturday afternoon. It is their first musical in public. It is meaningful for them to learn the communication and leadership skills in Music. It is challenging for them to master the melody, the rhythm, the action and the words at the same time, let alone the facial expressions, hand gestures and vocal variety.

Synopsis
In early 60's, women don't have rights, blacks are segregated, big girls are monsters. Tracy Turnblad, a white fat and short teenager who loves to dance, changes everything in Baltimore in 1962. She goes for an audition at a TV station. She walks into the black community to integrate with them. She converts the most popular TV dancing show from one Negro day a month to Negro days year around. She encourages her mother to step out of her tiny cleaning shop to embrace her size of 40.

威內托六天五夜遊

五月的威內托(Veneto)天氣是多變化的,下著雨的時候多,晴天少的時候。感謝二位住在巴都亞(Padova)朋友的邀約,五月底到威內托一遊,六天五夜,接著搭 MSC Sinfonia 序曲號遊東地中海八天七夜。 說到二位住在巴都亞的朋友,一位是彩雲,另一位是彩蓉,二位都是五月初一...
