SPRING RETREAT FEATURES THERAPY SISTERS

The Therapy Sisters of Austin, Texas will be the featured performers for the Herland Spring Retreat scheduled for May 1-3 at Red Rock Canyon State Park.

For the past decade The Therapy Sisters have set out to demonstrate that music and laughter are the best medicine. This zany and eclectic duo, Lisa Rogers and Maori ne McLean, has entertained at clubs, theaters, and conferences from coastto coast, and is a favorite on the nationally-syndicated Dr. Demento show.

This year they released their fifth album, Heyond Prescrip­tion, featuringjazz, blues, funk, and folk tunes, some of which are base_d on outrageous news stories. The Therapy Sisters aim to inspire you to laugh and think about the age "' e live in, and to remember that if you're not part of the problem, you're not part of the family. [J
