It’s not all “song and dance” for Student Productions’ After Dark variety show coming today to Family Weekend.
Cheryl Mathis, assistant director of Campus Programs, said After Dark will feature numerous acts with diversity and originality.

“We have specific points that we look for in the talent to ensure that the show will be very dynamic and keep the audience engaged,” Mathis said.

After Dark has been a tradition at Baylor for decades. The show began as a simple talent show and has recently grown into the variety showcase. A variety showcase differs from a talent show by displaying unique acts that are very different from each other.

“There’s just no way to showcase all of the same kind of talent,” she said.

The show is open to families and students as a Family Weekend event. Tickets are on sale at baylorbears.com for $14 for general admission and $10 for students.

“After Dark is such a unique experience to see the types of talents that our student body has that would never have the opportunity to experience in any other venue,” Mathis said.
