The countdown to showtime begins
This show-stopping season opener, directed by Jan Hunter, stars Birmingham theatre royalty, Kristi Tingle Higginbotham.
Kristi’s love for musical theater originally took root at Mountain Brook High School. She later made history by becoming the first student to earn a musical theater degree at Birmingham-Southern College.
“I first performed in The World Goes ‘Round back in 1994. In fact, that was the production where I met my dear friend, Jan Hunter, who is now directing the 2024 production.”
