What is a drag queen?
Some homosexuals enjoy the theatrical parody of women and are known as 'drag queens'. The term is believed to have originated with Elizabethan theatre. In those days women were not allowed to perform, so the parts were played by boys or small, slightly men. Female costumes were heavy and were dragged across the stage. No known bio-chemical (biological) cause can be demonstrated to exist.

Why can't students and adults have seconds?
The intention of the National School Lunch Program is to provide "one meal per child per day." Kitchen managers plan and prepare meals based on the average number of students who participate in the lunch program. In order to control costs, the manager should not prepare for second servings and should practice portion control on the servings she does prepare.Our bouncers are made out of the strongest 18oz vinyl in the industry. They could easily accommodate adults but we do not encourage adults to bounce. The kid in all of us sometimes isn't fit enough for these activities.Tooth decay is not just a child's problem. Adults of all ages can have cavities, too.

How often do students have music, art, and drama at TCA?
Music, art and drama are an integral part of our curriculum. Our students meet twice a week for music and have art experiences twice a week or more. All TCA students are also involved in a yearly theatrical production where they experience all aspects of putting on a play. Students have the opportunity to perform in front of the curtain, work backstage, or help with other aspects of the production like costumes, set work, and marketing.I am a trained dressmaker and I used to work at the Royal Opera House making the theatrical costumes.

What is the distinction between Pagan "magickal" and "religious" practices?
It is impossible to separate out the magickal from the religious, as it all seems a continuum. Magickal practices run the gamut from simple "Kitchen Witch" spells and charms -- mostly concerned with individual healings, blessings, tranformations, and other small workings; through "Circle Work" involving raising anercy for healings, community service, weather working, etc.; to larger group workings to save the planet, -- protecting endangered forests, peoples and species, etc.Some homosexuals enjoy the theatrical parody of women and are known as 'drag queens'.

Question: How's an Operetta different from a Broadway musical, then?
Answer: In terms of basic theatrical presentation - cast, chorus, orchestra, sets, lights, costumes and all that stuff - it isn't. Almost all forms of stage musicals - Grand Opera, Operettas, or Broadway - are love stories. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl because of the plot, and so on. Grand Operas end, though, when poor girl or boy (or both) die tragic deaths, boo-hoo. In Operettas, like Broadway Musicals, boy always gets girl back and they live happily ever after.It is impossible to separate out the magickal from the religious, as it all seems a continuum.

Can older adults practice karate?
Karate can be practiced at any age as long as a person is relatively healthy. A physical exam and doctor's OK is a good idea for anyone older than age 50 or so. Older people may not be as strong, fast or flexible as someone in their 20's, but they can still practice karate at their own pace and derive great physical and emotional benefit from it.Divide your total weight in pounds by your height in inches squared and then multiply the result by 703. - 15478
