Stomp Wars heads to College Park Center

Stomp Wars celebrates its 15th Anniversary Apr. 8-9, 2022 at College Park Center on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington. The mission of Stomp Wars Global is to inspire youth and young adults to stomp down the negative barriers that plague our communities and build a new, positive future through the art of step. Stomp Wars was created when the founders witnessed the power stepping has over these kids and how beneficial it can be in their lives. Stepping has grown to become a college and career pathway for students through an extracurricular activity. Some students come from low-income backgrounds and face multiple barriers in life. Stomp Wars Global aims to give them hope. For more information, head to the Stomp Wars Global website.

After extension renovation, Theatre Arlington is back and presenting Sister Act by Music by Alan Menken, Lyrics by Glenn Slater, Book by Cheri & Bill Steinkellner. Directed by Steven D. Morris. When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won’t be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to rejoice. The show runs until Friday, Apr. 15, 2022. Ticket information can be found here.
