Opera highlights WC fine arts schedule

Graphic advertising "A Night at the Opera." The central focus is the title "A Night at the Opera" in a script font. Below the title is a list of the operas featured: "Carmen, Samson and Delilah, The Old Maid and the Thief & Die Fledermaus." The background is a red stage curtain with draped folds, and a string of lights is across the top. The date, time, and location "APRIL 17 AT 7:00 P.M. ALKEK FINE ARTS THEATRE" are at the bottom, along with the Weatherford College Fine Arts logo.
