The Hilliard Arts Council is bringing "Five By Design," a group of five singers for a 7:00pm February 10, 2008 performance at the Hilliard Davidson Performing Arts Center.

The Hilliard Arts Council brought in Robert Nelson Vance, owner of proVanceTek, as an outside consultant and contractor, in 2005 when Five By Design came to Hilliard the first time. He was once again asked back this year.

Several visits have already been made to Davidson Theatre to hang and focus lighting for the event. Further assistance for the upcoming Sunday evening performance will include the hanging and focusing of additional lighting instruments and the load-in and interfacing of Five By Design sound equipment.

Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for senior citizens and students. In order to hopefully fill the auditorium for this performance there is a $5 discount for all tickets ordered by January 20, 2007. Tickets can be ordered by calling 527-4407 or by emailing Ken Brenneman.
