Holiday Spectacular

Fayetteville State University (FSU) and the Department of Performing and Fine Arts present a Christmas Holiday Spectacular in Seabrook Auditorium on December 4, 2011, at 4:00 p.m.  Featuring FSU faculty, students, alumni, community members and local celebrity storyteller, Mitch Capel, the evening’s mix of festivities promises to be a true collaboration between the university and the community.  The holiday celebration is under the choral direction of Ms. Denise Payton, FSU Choir Director; the artistic direction of Ms. Susan Paschal, FSU theatre faculty; and with technical direction by Mr. Dave Griffie, also of the FSU theatre faculty.
