Alabama Dance Theatre Committee

NO ONE CAN WHISTLE A SYMPHONY.

IT TAKES A WHOLE ORCHESTRA TO PLAY IT.

​

- HALFORD E. LUCCOCK

The beauty of the Alabama Dance Theatre goes beyond the bright lights, costumes, and special effects we see on stage. The work ethic of our dedicated board, committee, and volunteers is ineffable. The entire staff, company, and school would like to give these hardworking individuals a standing ovation for their time, effort, and generosity.
