History of 2009 Projects



BAC funds awarded Jennifer Hoffman of "On Your Toes Dance Studio", Southport, and with support  from Brunswick Little Theater, Ms. Hoffman produced "Nutcracker - under the sea" on December 12th & 13th, 2009 at Odell Williamson auditorium.  This was the first production of the Nutcracker in Bruswick County and we all look forward to future performances.
        


Maggi Edwards, Div. Pres. developed a Vocal Club class with the students at Early College High School.  The class ran for 12 weeks with 5 students partaking in the vocal club.  At the end of the school year, Early College Student Council, produced a Concert at Odell Williamson auditiorium to showcase their music and dance  accomplishments.  It was the first and long awaited concert of its kind.  All participants were happy with the BAC involvement.
