A patriotic musical about America’s first female soldiers – The Hello Girls – the unsung bilingual women who operated telephones and helped turn the tide of World War I – will cap Amarillo College’s Theatre Arts Program season.

The Hello Girls will enjoy a six-day run over a couple of weeks at the Experimental Theatre on the Washington Street Campus. Performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. on April 26-27 and May 2-4, and the run will be capped with a matinee beginning at 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 5.

It was a highly commendable Fall Semester for students and faculty in the Theatre Arts program at Amarillo College.

The storied AC program presented two shows during the semester – a musical called The Mad Ones, and the play Summer and Smoke – and both received high praise and commendations from regional representatives of the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF).
