Claire Hart-Palumbo has passionately worked in theatre for over 30 years. This month she will see her dream and hard work come to fruition on stage at the Main Stage Theatre, 9191 Barker Cypress October 13th through October 23rd. Her adaptation of Anton Chekhov’s “The Seagull” is titled “The Seagull in the Delta” - a story of people searching for love and acceptance in a world divided by class issues.
“In graduate school, my pre-thesis work focused on late nineteenth century Russian theater, with an emphasis on Chekhov,” said Hart-Palumbo. She is a talented actress, director, arts administration, teacher, voice and diction coach and most recently a playwright. “I tried unsuccessfully to get several theaters interested in producing Chekhov. But most did not have the passion for it that I had, citing reasons of large casts and poor translations as well as a general ‘unmarketability’ of these brilliant plays.”

Basketball is a fast-paced, entertaining sport for everyone involved, especially the players. The popular sport can also offer its players rewards including scholarships, the opportunity to graduate from a great school like Lone Star College-Cy Fair and even the possibility for further success – on and off the basketball court – at a four year university.
Triston Grounds and Jeremy Victor, former LSC-CyFair Fighting Ducks Basketball players, now know first hand that great opportunities can come along with their sport. These two talented players credit much of their success to their LC-CyFair coach, Larry Norris, who takes the time to really get to know his players, their goals, and what he can do to help make them successful.
