App State Winter Theater

App State’s theater shine in winter

BY LILY KINCAID

In fall 2022, Appalachian State’s Department of Theatre and Dance celebrated its 33rd anniversary. Over those three decades, the department has grown to have 23 full-time faculty, 15 in theatre and eight in dance, plus additional adjunct instructors and artists in residence. Currently, the department rehearses and performs in three different locations on App State’s campus: Varsity Gym Dance Studios, I.G. Greer Studio Theatre and Valborg Theatre.

This winter, there will be three main events hosted by the Department of Theatre and Dance, said department chair Michael Helms.

This will be the play’s world premiere in an English-language production.

Student tickets are $10, faculty and staff tickets are $15 and all others are $17.
