NOVEMBER 7, 2011 PERFORMANCE PROVIDENCE COLLEGE DANCE CONCERT
On November 18 & 19, Providence College will host their annual autumn Blackfriars Dance Concert
at the Angell Blackfriars Theatre, Smith Center for the Arts.
As many of us are able to afford less and less, here's a dance event priced well under $20.00!
Yes, the dancers are students, but some of my most amazing viewer memories have come from college dance concerts.
The choreography is often exciting and the student dancers are often darned professional. I'm rarely disappointed at a colledge dance
concert.

Tickets: $13.00, $9.00 (seniors), $5.00 (students), seating is reserved
