Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center at WCU.

The evening will feature performances by Mann, who holds WCU’s Phillips Distinguished Professorship in Musical Theatre; William Martin, associate professor of music; and Terry Welch, assistant to the chancellor and a familiar figure on the local theater scene.

The concert is free, but tickets are required for admission.
