AFA Cabaret is March 19th!
This year's Cabaret will take the form of a Speakeasy set in the Roaring 1920's. You can use the Secret Entrance to get into Roscoe's Club, but will you be able to solve the murder that takes place on this eventful night? Invite your friends and family to this night of fun featuring performances from AFA Music, Dance, Theatre, and an art auction featuring original works by our Art Focus students. Don't be a "wet blanket" and stay home, this "Hotsy-Totsy" joint will be jumpin'!!!
The Cabaret will be Thursday March 19th at 7:00pm in the TJ Auditorium. Flex Passes may be used. To purchase additional tickets, visit: https://www.showtix4u.com/events/15915
