Stay for the School of Stage of Screen production of Holiday Inn. On Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm at the BAC Performance Hall. A brief synopsis of the production is below. Tickets can be purchased at arts.wcu.edu/tickets.
Holiday Inn is a Broadway-style musical adaptation of the classic 1942 film of the same name. Jim Hardy, a performer weary of the spotlight, leaves show business to settle down on a farm. There he meets Linda Mason, a schoolteacher with a hidden talent for performing. Together, they turn the farm into Holiday Inn, a venue that opens only on holidays and features themed musical shows.
This event is presented by the WCU Fine Art Museum at Bardo Arts Center and is located throughout the Bardo Arts Center lobby and Star Atrium. There is no entry fee to the event; however, if you would like to buy handmade items on-site, artists appreciate payments made by cash or check, although some do accept cards.
