The time travel presentation, ``it's about time'' offers special effects to help take the audience from the era of the dinosaur to the dawn of cosmic voyaging.
The program, to be presented at 3 p.m. Sunday in the Lakeland High School auditorium, combines dance, music, drama and the visual arts.
Some of the offerings include a scene from Tennessee Williams' ``The Glass Menagerie,'' featuring Theresa Eike and Kristin Staley.
Jenny Small and Julie Simmons appear in a scene from ``Romeo and Juliet.''
A dance highlight is a look at the future, featuring special effects lighting beamed from a ``spaceship'' with the help of a remote-controlled ``blimp.''
Special effects also will enhance ``Green Light,'' choreographed by Marilynn Danitz, an internationally known choreographer. The dance is performed with green glow lights on an otherwise darkened stage.
