Performing Arts Center to open in Harrison

Harrison High School will celebrate the reopening of its renovated auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
Parents, faculty, school supporters, and education and elected officials have been invited to the event, which will feature performances by students in the music and dance programs followed by a reception.
The cost of the facility, now called the Harrison High School Performing Arts Center, was covered by a $1.2 million grant from the New York state EXCEL building-improvement program and a $215,000 donation from the Harrison Educational Foundation.
Renovations included new acoustics, seats, sound and lighting systems, and accessibility for handicapped people.
To add another level of training for students in theater operations and management, technical operations for any use of the center will be run by the HHS Performing Arts Center tech crew, which will make its debut at the gala event.

It just looks beautiful. It hadn’t had a facelift since the school was built in the mid-1970s, so this is exciting.
