Mark your calendars for this year’s Spring Follies, scheduled for Saturday, April 13, and Sunday April 14, in the Corron Community Development Center on أبأأتسئµâ€™s Middletown Campus. Show times are 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on the 13th, and 2 p.m. on the 14th.
The variety show is a long-running أبأأتسئµ tradition, started in the 1970s by Professor Emerita Andrea Ludwick, who still helps put on the Follies. This year’s theme is “Be Happy!†and will feature performances by children and adults of all ages. Director Russell Rinker, who has performed as a member of Blue Man Group and in many other plays and musicals, got his start as a preschooler in The Follies.
“It’s going to be such a fun show!†Ludwick says of this year’s Follies. “The upbeat music and funny skits are certain to put everyone in a happy mood!â€
Pre-show activities are scheduled to begin 1آ½ hours before each show, and will include facepainting, coloring, musical chairs and a selfie station. Free ice cream will also be available. Additionally, Cub Scout Pack 3 will be selling hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and drinks as a summer camp fundraiser.
Tickets are $5 at the door, with children under 5 free. All proceeds benefit the Andrea Ludwick Performing Arts Fund.
