Dance recital on tap

As the curtain goes up on the annual Pritchett/Pippin Dance Recital, slated for Wednesday and Thursday, May 25 and 26, 7 p.m. at Albany High School, Kathy Hall Hawkins and the Prichett-Pippin Dancers will present “IF THE SHOE FITS … DANCE IN IT.”

In addition to showcasing local youth talent from the Pritchett-Pippin School of Dance, the event is a major fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club of Dougherty County. Proceeds from the recital benefit Kiwanis of Dougherty County’s numerous community service projects in the Dougherty and Lee county area.

Tickets for the performances are $10 and all seats are reserved seating. Tickets will be on sale at the Albany High auditorium starting one hour before performances and the following times: 3 to 6:30 p.m. May 18-19; and 5-7 p.m. May 23-24.

Kiwanis of Dougherty volunteers will assist the performances with backstage help, ticket and program ad sales, and ushering.

“Please come out and support this performance,” Kiwanis of Dougherty County fundraising chair Todd Butler. “Every ticket sale represents a helping hand in the Dougherty and Lee County communities.”
