Member Profile - Dr. Sam Callaway 

Meet Rotarian Sam Callaway

Sam has been a Rotarian since 2016. He joined the Dripping Springs rotary club soon after moving to the area last year. Sam is a Doctor of Chiropractor with 7 years experience at Family First Chiropractic Dripping Springs. He grew up in Round Rock, Texas, did his undergrad in Austin, and Chiropractic training in Dallas at Parker University. With a desire to travel after graduating, Sam took a position in Lima, Peru for a time then moved on to Emmeloord, Netherlands for a number of years, improving his skills. Sam and his wife Wilmayra have a two year old son named Kingsley.

Why are you a Rotarian?

I am a Rotarian because I see the good in the world but I know good things take hard work. I would like to do my part to help any way I can to change lives.

What is your favorite service project?

My favorite service project so far has been the trash pickup. It feels good to see an instant change in the community and the environment.

Dripping Springs Theatre Arts Department
Rachel Koske and Cole Rickman gave a presentation about the growing theatre arts program at Dripping Springs.  Here's some tidbits:
* The department now has 3 staff members
* Theatre involves a lot of engineering feats to put on a production
* The goal is to do great theatre - they just closed Shakespeare's "Much ado about nothing", which put the audience on stage and enjoyed sold out performances.
* The goal is to always try to re-invent and expose students to new ways and things.  The students are instrumental in problem solving.
* 8 students made a trip to Edinburgh, Scotland for the largest arts festival in the world.
* Currently working on the Adams Family Musical - which will open January 18-22, they are now in rehearsals.
* 400 students in theatre related classes
* The department is switching to LED instruments
* Rachel and Cole work individually with students to figure out what they want to do and help them with career path development.
* The production budget is $24K per year and the booster organization helps with funding.  Also students do individual fundraising
* The department does 4 large scale productions plus a number of small productions each year.  They do a Shakespeare production every other year
* The most recognized graduate of this program is Wallie Currie-Wood who portrays Stevie on Madam Secretary
