Theater Season
Liberty University’s upcoming theater season brings an eclectic showcase, thanks in part to the recent opening of Liberty’s Box Theater. From Broadway-caliber productions to intimate, lesser-known works, the upcoming season features more diversity in its professional and academic performance offerings than in years past. The season opened with a professional Alluvion Stage Company production of “Newsies” in its Virginia premiere.
