Stacey Abrams, minority leader in the Georgia House of Representatives, and Mike Berlon, chairperson of the Democratic Party of Georgia, spoke at the Bulloch County Democratic Party’s Independence Gala.

In this year's variety show, "Vaudeville: Drafted," one of the show's fabulous emcees receives a draft notice....but not from the military. She'll have to make a choice, but what will she choose? The creative story line is intermingled with fabulous singing, dancing and comedy acts.

A single show will be presented Saturday, May 3 at 7 p.m. at the Statesboro High School auditorium. The show will feature songs, dances and comedy sketches chosen and performed by students. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students, and can be purchased at https://gofan.co/app/school/GA11899
