The Albany Mainstreet Playhouse will open its 2025–2026 performance season this Saturday, October 11, with its annual Cabaret fundraiser at the Whitney Theatre, which has officially sold out.
The event, which serves as the group’s primary fundraiser, will feature a World War II-era dance hall theme and include performances by a lineup of returning vocalists. Dinner will be provided by Goodnight Steakhouse.
The Albany Lady Lions turned in one of their best performances of the season Tuesday night, defeating Colorado City in four sets—25-20, 25-16, 23-25, 25-23—to close out the first half of district competition.
Coach MJ Reneau said the win was one of the team’s most complete games of the year, as every part of their play came together on the court.
“Our serving, passing, hitting—everything came together,” Reneau said. “Even in the set we lost, it wasn’t from a lack of focus or effort. It was just a tough, close game.”
The Albany Lions will begin district play this Friday, October 10, with a road matchup against the Miles Bulldogs. The game marks the start of a five-game district schedule following a pre-district slate that tested the Lions against a range of playoff-caliber opponents.
