Harris Fine Arts Center 50th anniversary
The Harris Fine Arts Center marks its 50th anniversary this school year with concerts and exhibitions ranging from “The Marriage of Figaro,” a full-scale opera, to “The Winter’s Tale,” a Shakespeare theatre performance. The HFAC will also hold an alumni lecture series and has produced a commemorative magazine in honor of the building and the lives it has shaped since its construction.
The year-long events schedule will lead up to the HFAC 50th Gala on April 3, 2015, which will include art exhibits, film screenings, food, dances and entertainment. Since its dedication, the HFAC has undergone several transformations but still holds its artistic, modern charm.

bowlers and karaoke stars.
