As the cold, quiet days of winter recede and
the welcome warmth of spring envelopes us,
we're inspired with a sense of renewal and
anticipation for the beauty and offerings of the
season. Arts organizations which are typically
quiet during the winter months after a busy
holiday season present a delightful variety of
events for all ages and interests. This is a small
sample of events from some of our Harford
County Arts organizations this spring.
Phoenix Festival Theater, the resident community
theater company at
Harford Community College,
presents the musical Annie March 5-14th.
This beloved musical follows the adventures
of an orphan girl Annie and her voyage from
life in an orphanage to a happy home.
This production, directed by Dickie Mahoney,
features a talented cast of local children.
Tickets are $9-$13. For more information
go to www.harford.edu/cultural/event or

Harford's Got Talent! ­ a talent competition for
