Community theater programs do wonders for kids of all ages.
Get out the art supplies and have the kids enter the 2016 Eastport Yacht Club Lights Parade Student Artists Poster Contest.
Students from kindergarten to 12th grade are encouraged to enter their artwork into the contest and possibly win up to $150. The winning artwork might grace the 2015 EYC Lights Parade promotional materials such as t-shirts and posters. There will be one winner in three age groups — elementary school, middle school and high school.
Marie Shepard, 17, looks like any of the other talented dancers practicing on the stage for Chesapeake Ballet Company's production of “Snow White” this weekend, but there's one profound difference.
Marie is deaf.
An exhibit of artworks featuring people, scenes and ideas iconic to Maryland is now available to explore in Gallery 90 at the Hospice of the Chesapeake's administrative building in Pasadena, Md. A selection from “Maryland, My Maryland,” previously at the BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport, is on display at Gallery 90 from Jan. 22-March 24, 2016.

Bowie teen Maddie Long has been a world champion not once, but twice in the little-known sport of baton twirling.
Twirling is not just something performed in parades; it's a competitive and challenging sport that requires artistry and athleticism. And Maddie has been to the World Baton Twirling Federation's World Championships, first in 2012 and again this past April.
