Western Carolina University's College of Fine and Performing Arts to perform at Festival Park
|
Fireworks for the event are provided by the Town of Manteo.
The troupe, known as the Western Carolina University Catamount Starz, will take the park's stage at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 4, to perform "What a Country: A Celebration of America." The selection of rock 'n' roll, pop, Broadway, patriotic and light classical song and dance is designed to set the mood for a big fireworks extravaganza to immediately follow the show, said Bradley Martin, director of the WCU musical theatre program.
"What better way to celebrate the quintessential American holiday than with a spirited performance of some of the music that helped define a nation," Martin said. "We're putting together the musical equivalent of a tasty Fourth of July smorgasbord, with a little something for everyone in a family-friendly show suitable for all ages."
