Greensboro College Theatre Presents “Tonin’ 2: On Solid Ground” April 27-29

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Greensboro College Theatre presents “Tonin’ 2: On Solid Ground” April 27-29 in Mane Stage in the Royce Reynolds Family Student Life Center, 1015 W. Market St. (corner of Tate Street).

Performances are 7:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday, April 27-28, and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, April 28-29. Tickets are $10 and may be reserved by calling 336-272-7102, ext. 5242, or emailing tickets@greensboro.edu.

In the spirit of 2017’s “Tonin’,” a dance theatre piece showcasing the music of the Manhattan Transfer, “Tonin’ 2,” conceived, directed, and choreographed again by Ashley Hyers, assistant professor of theatre and dance, and Willliam Perry Morgan, assistant professor of theatre, showcases the work of the renowned “Irish Cowboy,” Van Morrison.

Greensboro College’s Department of Theatre seeks to provide a strong foundation in theatre while allowing the student to emphasize in a particular area such as directing, acting, or arts administration.

The coursework is integrated with the production work to provide a better understanding of the many facets of the theatre. Required participation on stage or backstage on all theatre productions allows the techniques and theories that are examined in the classroom and the laboratory to be tested in a performance setting.

For more information on the program, contact David Schram at 336-272-7102, ext. 5243, or email schramd@greensboro.edu.

“I loved the GC Honors program and Greensboro College. I felt safe and a sense of genuine belonging at the college. I worked closely with my thesis advisor and professors who helped inspire me to define my path and passion of interest. That path has led me to my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.”
