BOONE— An Appalachian Summer Festival will showcase an exciting lineup of the best in music, dance, theatre, visual arts and film this July for its 31st season in the mountains of North Carolina. Distinguished dance and theatre acts Parsons Dance and In/Visible Theatre will take the stage this summer at the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts.
Parsons Dance – July 10
The New York City-based professional dance company Parsons Dance will perform at the Schaefer Center for the Performing Arts on July 10 at 8 p.m. World-renowned for its dancers’ nimble physiques and stunning ensemble work, Parsons Dance will deliver an exciting experience not to be missed. Works include Parsons’ stroboscopic masterpiece “Caught” and his latest creation “Whirlaway,” Robert Battle’s percussive work “Train” and Trey McIntyre’s duet “Hymn.” For more information, visit http://appsummer.org/schedule/id/parsons-dance.
In/Visible Theatre: “Without Words” – July 24 25
In/Visible Theatre presents “Without Words,” a play adapted from the book “A Man Without Words” by Susan Schaller. The story explores the life of a man named Ildefonso, a 27 year-old Mexican Indian who was born deaf and never learned sign language, hindering him from normal human interaction. Susan, a sign language interpreter, finds him intelligent, observant, and isolated from the world around him. Thus, she grows determined to help him communicate. In/Visible Theatre uses dance, drama, sound and silence in this remarkable true story of how language is so much more than words. The performance will take place on July 24 and 25 at 8 p.m. in the Valborg Theatre. For more information, visit http://appsummer.org/schedule/id/836.

About An Appalachian Summer Festival
An Appalachian Summer Festival is presented annually in July by the university’s Office of Arts and Cultural Programs. Beginning as a small chamber music series, the festival has emerged as one of the nation’s most highly regarded, multi-disciplinary art festivals, designated one of the “Top 20 Events in the Southeast” by the Southeast Tourism Society. True to a university-based arts festival, educational experiences such as lectures and opportunities to meet artists, artistic directors, competition jurors and other experts, have always been an important component of festival programming.
