What Did We Hear Last Week?

Last week, we heard all about Stars on Stage! Broken Arrow Stars on Stage is an inclusive musical theater group that includes kids with and without disabilities who put on a full musical.

This year, we heard from father to a Stars on Stage Artist, Mickey Uphold! Mickey shared with us how Stars on Stage has impacted and changed the life of his son who lives with autism, as well as how it has changed his own life.

This year’s production is, “The Little Mermaid, Jr.” which will run THIS weekend only: February 6, 7, and 8! Call the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center, visit HERE, or purchase in person to buy your tickets today!

What is Slated for This Week’s Show?

This week, we have a special show that shows how hard parents will fight and how far they will go for their kids on Episode 215 of The Hidden Workforce!

Welcome Jimmy and Julie Beard!

Jimmy and Julie share with us the incredible story of their son Mason. When doctors said that Mason would never walk, talk, crawl, drive, graduate or work, Jimmy and Julie didn’t accept that diagnoses and dug deep to find answers and the right programs for Mason. They found an amazing program in Pennsylvania that believed Mason could do all the things the doctors said he couldn’t and more. Tune in this week to hear how their son defied all the odds!

Tune in this weekend on Groovy 105.7 Saturday at 9:00am or Sunday at 4:00pm, or tune in to hear the show on Spotify, Apple, or iHeart Radio.
