Pied Pipers to entertain during Spring Sing weekend

The Pied Pipers, Harding University’s improvisational chidlren's
theatre troupe, will perform its last show of the school year
Saturday, April 23, at 11 a.m. in Reynolds Recital Hall.
Admission is free, and all ages are welcome.

Pied Pipers comprises nine students and is directed by Dottie Frye,
assistant professor of theatre. Their shows use a combination of fairy
tales, Aesop fables, poems, songs, audience participation and modern
narratives to create new stories for each performance.

The group entertains approximately 20,000 students each year in a wide
range of environments, including public and private schools,
children’s homes, hospitals, preschool centers, centers for people
with disabilities, libraries, churches, children’s theatre
organizations, local arts councils, and private and commercial
businesses or groups.
