The Lake Michigan College Visual & Performing Arts Department presents the Spring Drama Showcase at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 27. The showcase will be held in the LMC Mendel Center Hanson Theatre on the Benton Harbor Campus located at 2755 E. Napier Ave.
Students from the Visual & Performing Arts Department’s Introduction to Theatre, Acting I/II, and Improvisation classes will share their work from the semester, presenting a short evening of scenes, monologues, and songs in an informal revue setting. Dr. Patrick King is the instructor for these classes.
“This event is a once-a-semester opportunity for students in the theatre area to share their work-in-progress with each other, friends, family, and any interested folk who want to explore the program,” King said.
Admission is free and open to the public. For more information about the LMC Visual and Performing Arts department and performances, visit lakemichigancollege.edu/arts, email mmccaffrey@lakemichigancollege.edu, or call 269-927-8876.
