We're just two weeks out from our Theatre Workshop for Youth -"That’s Not How I Remember It!"

Friday and Saturday, June 5 and 6, 7 p.m.
Sunday, June 7, 3 p.m.
Fine Arts Center Black Box Theatre V135
OPEN SEATING; no reservations required. Arrive early; doors open 30 minutes before show.

The story goes:
Mom and Dad love to tell the story of how they met in 1986 – “pretty much the most awesome year ever.” Trouble is, they remember their courtship completely differently. Mom’s version makes their meeting sound like a sappy romantic comedy while Dad somehow makes himself the star of a karate battle. This tubular show is a crazy homage to bad 80s movies and the inadequacies of memory.

You won't want to miss these talented young actors!

The camp concludes with a tour of BRCC’s Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) facility at the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport. Bonus: Students get to keep their drone at the end of camp!

Be sure to see Zeke's exhibition while it's in our gallery!

Harrisonburg artist Zeke Trainum thinks it's somewhat appropriate that he was named after a garbage collector.
