Saturday at 2 p.m., the annual show of the Parkinson’s Voice Project features Sing Out! Broadway, in which 100 people with Parkinson’s perform to a “crowd of 1,000 enthusiastic fans,” organizers say. This inspirational event showcases those whose voices have been restored through Parkinson Voice Project’s speech therapy clinic. This year, area-based Parkinson Voice Project partners with Richardson High School’s theater department, “to give this family-friendly event a touch of Broadway magic.” We learned a little about the Parkinson’s Voice Project during our interview with the remarkable Logan family of Lake Highlands, whose story you definitely should read when you have a moment. The evening is emceed by White Rock area resident and host of KERA’s Think, Kris Boyd. It takes place at RHS, 1250 W. Belt Line, just north of our neighborhood. It’s free and you can register here.
