Closing the Curtain on the Dinner-Theater!
At the January meeting the BAHS Board voted to discontinue the annual Dinner-Theater after 30 years. It was a difficult decision. The Dinner-Theater began as one of the primary fund raisers for the BAHS and became a favorite community tradition. But over the years attendance declined and volunteers were not as readily available. The board found that it was not feasible to continue this event.
THANK YOU to all who supported the Dinner-Theater from 1990-2019.
