From Reinhardt University:

WALESKA, GA – The Falany Performing Arts Center has only a few events left in the month of October and several in November. The October performances include The University Opera and Virginia Rep on Tour.

“The Falany Performing Arts Center is the hub of live performing arts for Reinhardt University and the local community. Guests will enjoy experiencing a wide variety of performances from theatre to opera, comedy to jazz,” said Jessica Akers, director of Falany Performing Arts Center. “Well-known artists such as Doc Severinsen, The Manhattan Transfer and The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra have graced the stage, and have asked to return thanks to their enjoyment of the audience engagement and the acoustics offered in the 350-seat hall.”

University Opera, October 27

Many of those seats might be filled when the University Opera showcases its talents at the FPAC.

The University Opera is a program the gives students who are interested in becoming professional opera singers a chance to gain experience. This program does not just give students opera experience, it gives them an all-around theatre experience on how to act, design sets and make costumes. The University Opera will have a performance on Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m. Admission costs $12.50.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, October 30

A Halloween-type show is another performance set for October. “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” performed by Virginia Rep on Tour, is set for Oct. 30 at 2 p.m. The play will finish out Reinhardt’s Homecoming Week.

The play is based off of the book written by Washington Irving. The story is about a man who is trying to win a woman’s hand in marriage. The story is told through a funny ghost story. The play will be more of a comical ghost story than a scary fear-evoking tale, making it perfect for the whole family. Admission is $15 for adults, $10 for seniors (55 and older) and $5 for children 12 and younger.
