2024-25 Fine Arts Season
We are so excited to welcome you back to campus for our 2024-2025 performance season! Despite the construction challenges of last year, the artistic gifts of our students and faculty flourished, resulting in sold-out shows and accolades both far and wide.
Our fine arts students have distinguished themselves as Wichita’s Student Marketer of the Year, NATS Singer of the Year and 1st Place finish in the national competition, along with several of our mainstage performances selected as finalists in the American Prize national competition.
You, however, don’t have to travel the country to see these students in action; these wonderful performances are here in your own back yard!
Please join us for a spectacular season, featuring the 100th anniversary celebrations of the renowned Singing Quakers, our new spring Piano Extravaganza, and many more thrilling productions! We pray that you experience an abundance of God’s grace and light in the year ahead!
