The Westminster College Dance Theatre's spring production, "Carry the Flame," is scheduled Thursday-Saturday, March 2-4 at 8 p.m. and Sunday, March 5, at 2 p.m. in Orr Auditorium.
"Dance Theatre's theme this year is rhythm nation," said Regina Sharbaugh, associate director of admissions and advisor to the group. "We are representing all genres of dance and dances that are indigenous to several countries. Dance Theatre will have our usual tap, hip-hop, and lyrical numbers, but we also have a dance representing movement and music from Barbados and a dance from an Irish ethnicity showing clogging.
"'Carry the Flame,' was the theme song for the 2002 Olympic games. It was written by Karin Hendrickson, the daughter of Eileen Hendrickson, who is an instructor of theatre at Westminster," Sharbaugh continued. "Aretha Franklin sang it at the Olympics and junior Nikky Douglas will sing it for this production."
Tickets for the show are available at the door. Contact Sharbaugh at (724) 946-7104 or e-mail sharbarm@westminster.edu for more information.
