Art, Music, and Broadway! - Wayne Community College | Goldsboro, NC

Art, Music, and Broadway!

Get tastes of The Phantom of the Opera, American Idiot, The Lion King, and more when Wayne Community College’s Spring Fine Arts Festival brings Broadway to Goldsboro on Tuesday, May 5.

The festival will begin with an art exhibition that opens at 6 p.m. in the Wayne Learning Center Atrium. More than 110 drawings, paintings and designs of various media created by students in WCC’s Spring 2015 Drawing, Painting, and Design classes will be featured.

“The works represent our students’ achievements obtained through their rigorous course of study,” said Art Instructor Angie Waller. “Mentored by myself as well as student leaders in each class, these artists demonstrate their command of artistic techniques, critical thinking, communication skills, as well as professional exhibition practices.”

The “On Broadway!” concert will start at 7 p.m. in Moffatt Auditorium in the Wayne Learning Center.

“Selections from hit musicals like The Sound of Music, Les Miserables, Cabaret, and others will be highlighted.” said Music Instructor Brad Collier. “In addition, songs from lesser known shows such as The Boys from Syracuse and Ain’t Misbehavin’ will be performed.

“Showcasing the talent of students enrolled in Chorus and Class Music, the Spring 2015 concert will prove to be a delight for all. There will be singing, dancing, and lots of live music from our very own band,” Collier said. We invite everyone in the community to attend.”

Work of art students will be featured during the concert, too. “The Design and Painting 2 students created puppets from the musical The Lion King,” said Ms. Waller. “Each student drew a thumbnail sketch and then constructed the puppet through the use of found objects to complete the final piece. Students mentored with classmates in order to achieve balance with the mechanics on each piece.”

The festival is free and open to the public.
