Wallace State presenting Spring Under Stars April 24

Hanceville, Ala. — Wallace State Community College’s Fine and Performing Arts programs will present its fifth annual Spring Under the Stars show on Thursday, April 24 at 6:30 p.m. in front of the Burrow Center for the Fine and Performing Arts.

The event offers attendees a recap of many of the performances presented throughout the spring, including segments from Wallace State Theatre’s production of Little Women: The Musical and the vocal ensembles’ production of Chaos to Connection, which recently returned from performing the show at several venues in Washington, D.C. The Wallace State Jazz Band, Concert Band and Percussion Ensemble will also perform.

“Spring Under the Stars has become one of our most highly anticipated events here on campus,” said Ricky Burks, Chair of the Wallace State Fine and Performing Arts programs. “We get to perform some of our favorite pieces from shows we’ve presented throughout the year and allows the community to enjoy them all over again or for the first time if they weren’t able to make it to a performance.”

Admission is free. Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets for seating.

Food trucks will be on hand for the event, including El Mezcal Mexican Grill, Frios Gourmet Popsicles and The Farmhouse Coffee Co.

In the event of inclement weather, the event will be held inside the Burrow Center for the Fine and Performing Arts.
