YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. — Young Harris College invites the community to attend fine arts events in February. All events will take place on the YHC campus, which is located at 1 College St., Young Harris, Georgia 30582. Enjoy the following events:
– On Friday, Feb. 14 at 7 p.m., YHC’s Alpha Psi Omega National Theatre Honor Society will present “Unlucky in Love,” the annual Valentine’s Day Cabaret Fundraiser in Suber Banquet Hall.

– From Thursday, Feb. 20 – Saturday, Feb. 22, Theatre Young Harris will present “Little Shop of Horrors” in Glenn-McGinnis Hall. A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, “Little Shop of Horrors” has devoured the hearts of theatre goers for more than 30 years. In the musical, meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names “Audrey II” after his coworker crush. This foulmouthed, R&B singing, carnivore plant promises unending fame and fortune to Seymour as long as he keeps feeding it blood. The “Pay What You Can” Preview is Thursday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. Regular performances are Friday, Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for seniors 65+ or with YHC ID.
