A San Antonio psychologist-turned-playwright is teaming up with The Playhouse theater for a musical to benefit the homeless. You have two chances this week to enjoy "In Their Shoes," Wednesday and Thursday nights only.
The whole story is about empathy, and a pair of magic shoes that transports a little girl, Goody2Shoes, into a world where she can see what it’s like to be in another person’s shoes.
The John Lennon Educational Bus stopped this week in San Antonio, where it was stationed at Café College downtown. The staff visited middle schools, high schools and colleges where they help students write, record, and make videos for original music.
Some students have never played instruments, so the bus staff also gave basic lessons. The bus has been around for 16 years, and they anticipate a second bus will be deployed in May for use in Europe.
Wednesday night there is a chance to hear choral music with a twist. Mwangaza Children's Choir is a group of Ugandan children (ages 8-12) who represent the orphaned and poor youth of their country.
Mwangaza means "shining light" in Swahili. The majority of their concerts are performed in English, but some parts are in their native language.
