The show is run and organized by volunteer students and staff and is an annual spring event that everyone in the community looks forward to attending, including alumni.
"This year we have some unique acts that we haven't seen before as well some regulars coming back to show off their skills," said BAHS Renaissance Committee member and English teacher Jennifer Walter, who is heading up the show planning. "We also have teachers pitching in their talents this year which we haven't seen for a few years. It's going to be an exciting show!"
