With Spooky Season behind us, we now look forward to the remaining months of classes. That means final projects are about to begin and we’ll be wrapping up our season with some great shows around the Nashville area! November is also AMUA’s birthday month! And we’ll be celebrating big this year with our Mingle and Makeup Mixer!
