transformed
Iam thrilled to be joining the College of the Arts at Kennesaw State University, and I am excited to meet you, the patrons and donors who support ArtsKSU. I look forward to seeing you at one of the many performances, concerts, musicals, or exhibitions this next academic year.
We are starting in a big way with two premieres by nationally acclaimed choreographers Tristian Griffin and Christian Denice in “Double Exposure” from the Department of Dance. This evening of original concert dance, made possible by the Eleo Pomare/Glenn Connor Dance Endowment, pushes the boundaries of artistic innovation.
International artist Jeffrey Gibson is also pushing boundaries as the first Indigenous artist to represent the U.S. at the 2024 Venice Biennale. The School of Art and Design’s Zuckerman Museum of Art will feature his work in “Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love, From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation.”
The Department of Theatre and Performance Studies (TPS) will present the toe-tapping, family-friendly musical “Pippin” this fall, followed by William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” in early spring.
In late spring, TPS will partner with the Bailey School of Music to present “Sondheim on Sondheim.” This multimedia revue of Sondheim’s work goes to the very heart of his life and features live music from the Opera Theater and the Symphony Orchestra.
Guest artists will grace the music stage of Morgan Hall this year, including Stephanie Blythe, mezzo-soprano, with Ryan McCullough, piano, followed by the Arianna String Quartet and Roomful of Teeth, a Grammy-winning vocal band dedicated to reimagining the expressive potential of the human voice.
The highlights above are only a sampling of our offerings this year. Please join us for our remarkable 2024-2025 season and be transformed!

BARBECUE
Written by Robert O’Hara Directed by Damian Lockhart
Barbecue centers on around the O’Mallerys, a dysfunctional group of siblings who come together for a park barbecue in order to stage an emergency intervention for their sister Barbara, whose drug habit has gotten out of hand. However, there are, in fact, two O’Mallery families, one White and one Black. Each appear in different (yet similar) scenes that juxtapose to create a dialogue about race and family politics.

MACBETH
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Marlon Burnley
Scottish general Macbeth receives a prophecy from a coven of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia. Forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler.
