‘Belles on Wheels’ at
WRIT this weekend
Jan. 8-9 Jaehn ("jane") Clare
who lives in the historic district
of downtown Macon with her
dog. Clancy Bojangles. is pre
senting and performing her play.
“Belle's on Wheels.”, for the
Warner Robins Little Theatre
kaleidoscope production scries.
The show will begin at 8 p m.
both days. Tickets are available at
the door for $6 for season ticket
holders and $8 for all other
patrons. Please note admission
is free to all pations who arc
wheel chair bound.
“Belle's on Wheels” is a gutsy,
funny play about a young actor’s
journey from her feet to a set of
wheels. It is about Clarity Belle, a
sophomore college student who
experiences a spinal cord injury
which dramatically changes her life.
This one-act play based on
autobiographical material
depicts Clarity’s journey through
recovery and rehabilitation to a
new perspective on and apprecia
tion of her life. It is a very per
sonal piece of theatre which
addresses many ot the cultural
myths and stereotypes that have
traditionally separated persons
with disabilities from the main
stream ot our society.

Twins for this week are Alex
or William Alexander Wood who
is named for his grandfather. Bill
Thames, and Brian or Brian Allen
Wood who is named for his
father. Allen Wood.
The only children of Allen and
Carolyn Thames Wood were the
first set of twins bom at the new
Taylor Regional Hospital 11
years ago just about the same
hour their grandparents. Bill and
Doris Thames, departed
London’s Heathrow airport for
New York in the middle of a
long-planned vacation.
Doris’ side of the family is
prolific with twins but she never
imagined any of her four daugh
ters having twins. Allen and
Carolyn had put off having chil
dren for 10 years to grow as a
couple as they had married at the
young age of 18.
An avid tennis player not real
ly intending to be the twins’
babysitter, Doris did a complete
about face when she actually held
them and cared for them with
Allen until Carolyn could man
age them. She has been caring for
them ever since when Carolyn
works as dental assistant for Dr.
Laura Koch in Warner Robins.
Allen is a carpenter in business
with his father-in-law.
Alex and Brian attend Tucker
Elementary and enjoy all the
things that boys growing up in
the country next-door to their
grandparents love to do including
riding their bikes and roller blad
ing on the wide expanses of con
crete drives at their disposal.
