Kara Treadwell, drama and speech education major from Searcy, performed as vocalist in Harding University's 44th annual Spring Sing on April 13-15. Four hosts and hostesses, 20 ensemble members and seven vocalists performed throughout the musical variety show drawing more than 10,000 audience members to four performances.

Spring Sing began as a small-scale campus musical showcase in 1974 and has grown to incorporate nearly 1,000 students performing as part of the ensemble or the eight competing social club shows. The shows are judged for originality, costume, choreography and music. Cash awards and plaques are presented to winners, who donate the prize money to charities of their choice.

Competing shows are brought together under the Spring Sing theme "Curtain Up" by host and ensemble performances. As part of "Curtain Up," Treadwell performed in group numbers highlighting modern Broadway music.
