This past semester, the Dadeville Performing Arts Center has been offering free after school classes. 

The elementary musical theater class directed under Elaine Forbus is finishing out its program with a Christmas musical titled “A Karaoke Christmas.” Volunteer Harriet Jones said there’s not a lot of arts classes in schools and these kinds of programs help supplement the educational experience.
