Voices
Voices, Annual Dance Concert
View Dates and TimesExpand Icon
Location: Harrison Theatre

In the same manner as vocalists, actors, and authors communicate through lyrics, lines, and texts, dancers use movement to share what they are thinking and how they are feeling. Words are not the only way to express oneself. Dance can help tell a story and convey emotions, thoughts, and feelings in a way that is meaningful to themselves and their audience. In Voices, the Samford Dance Company will explore various ways of communicating, combining non-verbal expression with song, spoken word, and other soundscapes. This production is part of the Michael J. and Mary Anne Freeman Theatre and Dance Series.

Location: Wright Center

The Vienna Boys Choir is one of the most famous choirs in the world, and one of its oldest. Boys have been singing at Vienna’s Imperial Chapel since at least 1296. In 1498, Emperor Maximilian I moved his court to Vienna, where he established the Imperial Chapel and the Vienna Boys Choir. Over the centuries, the court attracted musicians like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Anton Bruckner. Joseph Haydn, Michael Haydn, and Franz Schubert were choirboys themselves. Until 1918, the boys sang exclusively for the court. The Vienna Boys Choir is represented by Opus 3 Artists. This event is a part of the Davis Architects Guest Artist Series in collaboration with the Samford University Wright Center. Society.

Tomorrow The Island Dies
Tomorrow, the Island Dies - A World Premiere Musical
View Dates and TimesExpand Icon
Location: Harrison Theatre

Book, Lyrics, and Music by Ryan Scott Oliver, 2023 Kleban Prize Recipient After a devastating succession of crushing hurricanes, the leadership have determined that life on the island of Haverness is no longer sustainable, and they must abandon it immediately. All the adults, small children, and the elderly have hurriedly evacuated Haverness to acquire new homes, new jobs, and set up new lives on the mainland, leaving behind a small collection of young adult volunteers to finish handling the abandonment. Widow Clack lives an exiled life running a lighthouse with her brother on the storm-crushed island. When a young man is found dead on the beach, the remaining collection of young adults combust into dangerous accusations leading to devastating division. Once a final, unexpected storm impacts the island, can Widow save the villagers from themselves? This production is part of the Michael J. and Mary Anne Freeman Theatre and Dance Series. *Please note that the show includes language and content intended for mature audiences.
