Future events will in-
clude game nights, kara-
oke, crafts, movies and
other themed get-togeth-

the monthly events and,
Dowell hopes, a karaoke

In its show production
capacity, Creative Chaos
has already served as a so-
cial outlet for its members.
“I just like being with my
friends,” said member Kim
Sewel-Wentz. “Everyone is
awesome.”
Member Elaine Coffman
was in the audience for last
year’s play and was inspired
to join the group this year,
munity members are invit-

September in the troupe’s
“Somewhere in Time” pro-
duction.
While she enjoyed the
creativity and hard work
involved with the play,
Coffman said her favor-
ite part was working with
Dowell.
“She gave me confidence
that I never had,” Coffman
said.
Sharnee Prescott has
been with Creative Chaos
for years, but until now has
shied away from the spot-
light.
“Three years I’ve been
working backstage,” said
Prescott. “I’m usually pret-

but I decided to give it a
try.”
Meanwhile, the 12-mem-
ber cast of Creative Chaos
is continuing to prepare for
its first Christmas play, set
to run Dec. 13, 14 and 15.
The production is on a

The Village Green Christmas
Market is opening soon. This
year, the Village Green will have
more than half a million lights, a
vendor market, live music, pic-
tures with Santa, cozy fire pits
and more from Nov. 29 through
Dec. 31.
The Village Green invites fami-
lies to experience the magic of the
vious shows, but Dowell
said the group is up to the
challenge.
“I see so much growth
in them. It’s amazing,” she
said. “Watching the old-
er seniors take in the new
ones and help them out is
pretty awesome.”
Dowell said the Christ-
mas-themed play will raise
the bar for the group and
what the community might

view Party on Saturday, Nov. 23.
The event will be from 6 to 8

gluhwein, live music and Christ-

The Village Green is located

“Our goal is to surprise
the audience with some-
thing that I think most
people have in their mind
that people with disabil-

“We want to shock them a
little bit [showing] that we
can do this.”

Creative Chaos is also
working with the donation
program Tree of Joy by ac-
cepting unwrapped toys,
warm hats and gloves at the
door of all performances.
As none of the Creative
Chaos members drive,
Dowell is soliciting dona-
tions of time or money to
aid with transportation.
“Some of them live far
out and I would hate for
someone to miss out due
to transportation,” said
Dowell. “My husband and
I have been taxis for years
but would greatly appreci-
ate more help.”
