Young Harris College to Present Annual Valentine’s Day Cabaret
YOUNG HARRIS, Ga. – Young Harris College’s Alpha Psi Omega National Theatre Honor Society will present the fourth annual “Unlucky in Love” Valentine’s Day Cabaret fundraiser on Tuesday, Feb. 14, at 7 p.m. in Dobbs Theatre of Goolsby Center on the YHC Campus.
This event features talented students performing a variety of short musical and dramatic bits related to the themes of love and heartbreak.
“This cabaret gives students the chance to perform pieces that are special to them and to do so alongside their friends,” said junior theatre major Hannah Johnson, of Marietta, Ga., who serves as the president of Alpha Psi Omega. “I personally love this event because it brings different genres and people together to create an atmosphere of love, laughter, and heartbreak.”
The performance will include a wide range of pieces from musicals such as “Rent,” “Legally Blonde,” and “Aladdin.” The evening will also include classic love songs, dance performances, and a spoken word piece.
All donations collected will benefit the Division of Fine Arts and help fund students’ travel expenses for conferences, competitions, and auditions.
