The department encourages families, alumni, and local arts supporters to join the season and experience the vibrant creativity of Furman’s students and faculty.
Why the season matters to the community
Furman’s theatre program has long been a cultural anchor in Greenville, providing high‑quality productions that enrich the local arts scene while offering valuable hands‑on experience for aspiring actors, directors, and designers. The addition of the Fringe Festival reflects a commitment to experimental and emerging works, giving both creators and audiences a platform for innovative storytelling.
By keeping ticket prices affordable—especially for students and seniors—the department aims to make the arts accessible to a broad cross‑section of the community. This aligns with Greenville’s tradition of supporting family‑friendly cultural events that strengthen neighborhood ties and celebrate local talent.
Looking ahead
Beyond the 2026‑27 season, the Department of Theatre Arts plans to expand its outreach initiatives, including workshops for local schools and collaborative projects with Greenville’s other cultural institutions. The department invites community members to stay engaged through volunteer opportunities, post‑show discussions, and future fundraising events.
