First they will collect aquatic species before oil saturates the coast and research aquaculture of species in order to reintroduce species into the Gulf after the spill is contained.
Second, they will reinvigorate the local fisheries and jobs by reintroducing larval shrimp and other sea life to repopulate aquatic life for the ecosystem and the fishing industry.
Again, the Party In The Park For Noah’s Ark Festival will be held on the second Sunday in September, the 12th. It will run from Noon until 5pm or later.

The Wizard of Oz
November 12-21,2010
A splendid family musical based on the delightful MGM film, The Wizard of Oz, comes to life on the Young Actors stage! Little Dorothy Gale of Kansas, like so many girls her age, dreams of what lies over the rainbow. One day a twister hits her farm and carries her away over the rainbow to another world. Come join Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and Toto as they travel the universe of Dorothy's imagination.
The Diary of Anne Frank
January 28 – February 6, 2011
Anne Frank emerges from history a living, lyrical, intensely gifted young girl, who confronts her rapidly changing life and the increasing horror of her time with astonishing honesty, wit, and determination. An impassioned drama about the lives of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic, this Pulitzer Prize winning play captures the claustrophobic realities of their daily existence—their fear, their hope, their laughter, their grief. Each day of these two dark years, Anne's voice shines through: "When I write I shake off all my cares. But I want to achieve more than that. I want to be useful and bring enjoyment to all people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death!" And that she has.
Charlotte’s Web
April 1-10, 2011
E.B. White’s beloved classic comes to life in a thrilling theatrical presentation. Join Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed;; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be "a true friend and a good writer." Determined to save Wilbur, Charlotte begins her campaign with the "miracle" of her web in which she writes, "Some pig." It's the beginning of a victorious campaign which ultimately ends with the now-safe Wilbur doing what is most important to Charlotte. This is a beautiful play about friendship that will leave you inspired and enchanted.
Hairspray

Get swept away to 1960's Baltimore, where the 50's are out -- and change is in the air.

Don’t miss this “must-see” hit, directed by Worth Williams – Amber Von Tussle in the First National Broadway Tour of this Tony Award Winning smash hit!
