ALTOONA – Penn State Altoona’s Ivyside Pride will hit the stage once again December 3 - 5, 2009, in the Paul R. and Margery Wolf Kuhn Theatre in the Misciagna Family Center for the Performing Arts.

Performances are Thursday and Friday, 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5 for Penn State students and $7 regular admission.

Ivyside Pride is under the direction of Bonnie Cutsforth-Huber, assistant professor of music at Penn State Altoona. The group is a twenty-five-voice student vocal ensemble.
