The ARTS at NC State welcome community involvement and we like to be involved with the community!

University Theatre offers a summer season of productions that offer area actors the opportunity to work with the students in shows at Thompson Theatre. Watch for audition announcements in March. When time and production schedules allow, we also work with community organizations in programs of a theatrical nature, whether it is presenting a short scene from a current production or a fashion show of costumes from a particular era, or we can provide speakers for your event.

Center Stage presents shows for area schools—see their school matinee schedule for information. As time and shows permit, they also may provide speakers for your event or work with your organization on educational events.

The Department of Music offers several opportunities for community musicians. The Raleigh Civic Chamber Orchestra and The Raleigh Civic Symphony are comprised of students and area musicians. For audition information call the music department at 515.2981.

The Crafts Center classes are open to the public. The center works closely with many area crafts guilds and presents an annual sale at Christmas and periodic gallery exhibits.

The Gallery of Art & Design offers lectures open to the public. Check their schedule for current information.

And watch for the annual Celebrate! ARTS NC STATE gala in the spring. It is a great time to gather friends for a marvelous night out with food and fun!
