Arts Group Brings New Options North Augusta Rotarians Told
Jack Yantis, president of Art Center in Augusta, Inc., spoke to North Augusta Rotary about diversifying the region’s cultural scene beyond the Augusta Opera, Ballet, and Symphony. The center promotes Natural Theatre using Sacred Heart Church’s light and stained glass for future performances. The first Yeats Project debuted at Sacred Heart Church, which Knox Limited Co. saved from demolition. The next series Voices from the New South features a black dance troupe, a Kentucky theatre group, Atlanta Dance Company, and an Atlanta orchestra, with a first show on Oct. 3. The Rotary meets Tuesdays at Quincy’s Steak House.
