Annual celebration of the performing and visual arts is held every July in venues across the university campus, and features an eclectic, diverse mix of music, dance, theatre, visual arts and film programming. An Appalachian Summer Festival began in 1984 as a chamber music series, and retains strong roots in classical music, combined with a variety of other programming geared to almost every artistic taste and preference. Celebrating its 37th season in 2021, the festival has risen in stature to become one of the nation's most highly respected summer festivals, acclaimed for the breadth and quality of its artistic programming.

In recent years, the festival has been selected as one of the "Top 20 Events in the Southeast" by the Southeast Tourism Society. For many years, The New York Times has included An Appalachian Summer Festival in its "Summer Stages" issue, which profiles the nation's most prominent and interesting summer arts festivals.

Reduced Shakespeare Company presents The Complete History of Comedy (abridged)

The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) answers the fundamental questions:
-Which is the least funny nationality? Which is the funniest? Why did the former try to exterminate the latter?
-How do critics describe everything in a way to make it sound unfunny? ("First of all, the premise is weak. No one would ever believe that a baseball team would actually have a first baseman named "Who.")
-Why, in fact, did the chicken cross the road?

Tickets to The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) are far more affordable than tickets to an amusement park, but you'll come away with the same feeling of nausea and motion sickness. From cavemen telling "Rock Rock" jokes to Will Smith upset at Chris Rock's jokes and everything in-between, the "bad boys of abridgement" leave no joke untold as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes.

They've skewered history, the Bible and the world's most celebrated playwright. Now, The Reduced Shakespeare Company tackles the subject it was born to reduce. From the high-brow to the low, The Complete History of Comedy (abridged) covers comedy through the ages, from Shakespeare and Moliere (Is Moliere funny? Why not?) to Napoleon (Dynamite) and Vaudeville and Charlie Chaplin to The Simpsons and Ted Lasso. From cavemen telling "Rock Rock" jokes to Will Smith upset at Chris Rock's jokes and everything in-between, the bad boys of abridgment leave no joke untold as they deconstruct the entire history of comedy in 90 rollicking minutes.

But when new plans arise to install solar panels and cut down trees, the members of this tight-knit group suddenly face eviction — and the loss of far more than their home.

Winner of the Golden Bear at Berlinale, the sophomore film from Carla Simón (Summer 1993) is a sun-dappled, deeply moving ensemble portrait of the countryside and a community's unbreakable bonds.

Now in its sixth decade, Dance Theatre of Harlem has grown into a multi-cultural dance institution with an extraordinary legacy of providing opportunities for creative expression and artistic excellence that continues to set standards in the performing arts.
