The Performing Arts Studio is very pleased to announce a series of jazz concerts, opening with the Dennis Borycki Quartet in the Norman Depot, 200 South Jones Avenue, at 7:30 PM on Sunday, July 15.  Refreshments will be served at concerts, for which there is no admission charge.

Dennis Borycki began playing organ at 7 years of age and earned a Masters degree in organ performance from the University of Oklahoma under the guidance of Mildred Andrews Boggess, but he was as much a fan of jazz piano as he was of pipe organ.  Not long after college he began moonlighting as a jazz keyboardist in clubs around Oklahoma City, while also playing organ for services and weddings at local churches.

Performing Arts Studio Sponsors Memoir Workshop for Older Women

A series of five writing classes designed to help older women document their lives will be offered Mondays in July at the Performing Arts Studio, located in The Norman Depot, 200 South Jones. The classes begin July 2 and are open to women age sixty and over.

"Every woman has a unique story to tell, but it's hard to know where to begin," said class instructor Dana Loy. "Through the Older Women's Legacy Circle, women can capture memories and create a personal history. It gives them a time, a place, and guidance for telling their story. It offers an opportunity to remember, to write, and to share."
