Ball State
University’s College
of Fine Arts is presenting
several programs and performances as part of the University’s Family
Weekend, Sept. 16-18.
Ball State’s School
of Music will present its 11th
Annual Showcase Concert at 7:30
p.m. on Sept. 16 in the University’s Sursa Performance
Hall. The concert will
feature a sampling of the School of Music’s outstanding large ensembles,
chamber groups, and soloists. All proceeds from the concert will be used to support
student scholarships.
Also, the University’s Department
of Theatre and Dance will open
its production season with “Our Town,” at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 16 at University
Theatre. “Our Town”—Thornton
Wilder’s most frequently produced play—is a timeless drama of life in the
mythical village of Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire. The play has become an
American classic with universal appeal. The Department of Theatre and Dance’s production
brings the story to life by using the cast, crew, and Muncie community members’
memories and special objects to uniquely connect to the story.
