March 09, 2011 - Brooke Zimny
Ouachita Baptist University’s Division of Music will present Alison Johnson in her sophomore musical theatre recital at 2 p.m. March 11 in Mabee Fine Arts Center’s McBeth Recital Hall. The recital is in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Johnson’s musical theatre degree.
Johnson, a Shreveport, La., native, said that the recital “is a chance for me to perform
the songs I love and play a variety of characters all within 15 minutes.” She is the
daughter of Mike and Melanie Johnson of Shreveport and has been chosen to perform
as a 2011 Tiger Tunes hostess. She is involved in EEE Women’s Social Club and Campus
Ministries.
Johnson said she chose selections that included fun music and characters that are
meaningful to her. She will open the recital with Cy Coleman’s “If My Friends Could
See Me Now” from Sweet Charity, followed by Marvin Hamlisch’s “What I Did for Love” from A Chorus Line. She will conclude with Jeanine Tesori’s “How the Other Half Lives” from Thoroughly Modern Millie. OBU staff accompanist Leslie Harper will accompany Johnson.
The recital is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the School
of Fine Arts at (870) 245-5129.
