At today’s meeting Sara Stadtherr introduced Ben Klipfel, Executive Director of the Alexandria Area Arts. Ben started by presenting on the history of the theater dating back to the first musical in 1970 to the most recent shows. The theater now produces 5 different shows a year that range from comedy to drama to classics. Over 13,000 patrons attended shows last year with 240 actors contributing to the performances.
The AAAA also puts on a summer academics program for the arts and organizes the very popular Art in Park event. The facility will begin a renovation process next year to help accommodate all of the performances and classes.
