Local Art Festival

One weekend in April every year is Miami Loco Music & Arts Festival. There is fun to be had all weekend long. Music, dancing, art shows, poetry readings under the bridge, and on and on! There is something for everyone on this weekend in downtown Miami, AZ.

Not to say that is my all time favorite movie, but scenes and words sometimes really stick with us. Have you ever thought of getting into acting? Tonight is your night to practice...both of you.  This is sure to bring out some laughs and smiles. Life sometimes becomes so serious and it is hard to find the time or even know how to break loose with each other. You could even do this at the park at dusk...que dramatic lighting. If you need to, print off some lines or refresh your memory by watching some clips of your favorite scenes. Record each other as you act out these parts.
