The building also houses the department's scenic studio and our ever growing inventory of stock scenery, props and costumes. The expansive lobby looks out onto the beautiful Pasquotank River. The Fine Arts Department mounts a major theatrical production in the fall and a full scale musical production in the spring. The Show Choir performs fall and springs - usually a musical revue which also tours. Main stage student-directed productions are mentored by faculty.
Students showcase their songs, dances and acting pieces each semester in public recitals.
The Fine Arts Department schedules a daytime and evening touring event series. These guest artists range from renowned musicians to prestigious dance companies. During the summer months, students may choose the stay in the area and participate in the theatrical opportunities available. On campus, we run a Summer College for Kids , hiring COA students as interns to help with teaching, directing, choreographing and technical support. These programs mount performances twice in the summer.
