We are very pleased to find a big enough gap in their tour schedule to fit in a dance. This is a special treat; the musical combination of Alex & Audrey are not to be missed. Hopefully they can sing a piece or two from the album as well. \nHealth & Hall Safety Policy: Masking is required on the dance floor. As always, if you are not feeling well regardless of the reason, please stay home. If you suspect or know that someone in your household currently has Covid, please stay home.
