On behalf of the Halifax County Arts Council, I, too, would like to thank Sherry Wade, our Chairman, for gathering together an incomparable community team that brought the NC Symphony to the Roanoke Rapids Theater to do what it does best: to Play... and to Play beautifully.

If I ever plan on having a party, I know who I'm going to have plan it — the Halifax County Arts Council.

The Saturday show at the Roanoke Rapids Theatre is more than just putting the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra center stage. It's also shining a spotlight on those working behind the scenes to make it happen.
