Tickets now on sale for musical
Tickets are now sale for the
Albany High School Choral De-
partment's production of Bells
Are Ringing, a broadway musical
that will be presented February 1
and 3.
Performances of Bells Are
Ringing are scheduled to begin at
8:00 p.m. in the AHS Auditorium
on Thursday and Saturday, Feb-
ruary 1 and 3, with a dinner pre-
ceding the February 3 show at the
Old Jail Art Center for patron
ticket holders.
This will be the fourth year
that the AHS Choral Department
has presented a full scale musical.
Past presentations have included
Bye, Bye Birdie, Carnival and The
Wizard, of Oe.
Rehearsals are in full swing,
and are going well, according to
Sandy Mayes, director of the
choral department and of the pro-
duction. The director was very
complimentary of the students
who have been working hard on
the production. "The students
have been memorizing their lines,
and are really doing great."
Rehearsals are continuing
almost every evening in prepara-
tion for the musical.
Tickets Now on Sale
Patron tickets for the dinner
are $15 each, which includes the
meal at the art center and re-
served seating at the Saturday
night performance of the musical.
Regular tickets for the two per-
formances will be available at the
door each night, or from choir
members. Ticket prices are $5 for
adults and $3 for children.
All dinner theater patron
tickets must he reserved in ad-
vance in order to ensure the pro-
per amount of food. Tickets may
be reserved by contacting any
choir member, or by calling the
school office, according to Mayes.
This year, the Old Jail Art
Center's "Turnkeys" will be
hosting the dinner before the
February 3 performance, begin-
ning at 6:30 p.m. This year, the
meal will be served at the Old
Jail, instead of in the high school
snacK bar. lhe menu will include
lasagna, salad, breadsticks,
cheesecake, coffee and tea.
The Turnkeys is a support
group of the Old Jail, and have
joined together to help the local
choral department by providing
the meal. All proceeds will go to
the choir department.
Lisa Hudman will provide piano
accompaniment for the musical.
Something new this year will be a
"pit band," coordinated and direct-
ed by Kyle Viertel, AHS Band
Director.
"We are playing out of the ori-
ginal score to the musical," ex-
plained Viertel. "This is profes-
sional level music, and some of it
is proving to be difficult for the
kids."
However, Viertel stated that
the approximately 15 student
musicians involved are "having
lots of fun, and finding this pro-
ject to be both challenging and in-
teresting/'
"This is something completely
new for me and the kids," he said.
Jan. 31 payment deadline nears
Taxpayers are reminded that
only a few days remain before the
January 81 deadline for paying
1989 property taxes.
According to Shackelford Coun-
ty Chief Appraiser Betty Viertel,
the tax payments are coming in
fairly well. "We expect to receive
a big rush of payments on the last
few days of the month, as well as
the first few days of February,"
she said. "Normally, we collect
about 85 percent of current pro-
perty taxes by the end of Janu-
ary. We will expect about the
same this year."
As of December 31, 49.66 per-
cent of all current property taxes
had been paid, which is up slightly
over last year.
Current taxes must be paid by
Wednesday, January 31, to avoid
penalty and interest charges. To
pay in person, taxpayers must
visit the appraisal district office
by 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, when
the office will close 30 minutes
earlier than usual because of the
time-consuming reports that must
be completed after the close of
business.
Payments that are postmarked
by January 31 will also be con-
sidered "paid on time," she said.
For more information concern-
ing property tax payments, con-
tact the appraisal district office at
762-2207.
