Drama: Theater UNCA
Notice of Cancellation
Due to illnesses and in consultation with the campus Health & Counseling Center, we have decided to cancel the three remaining performances of Cabaret on 4/24, 4/25, and 4/26. While this was a difficult decision to make, the health and wellbeing of our company and audiences are our highest priority. Patrons may email theatre@unca.edu to request a refund. Proceeds from all tickets that are not refunded will be used to offset production expenses.

UNC Asheville’s parking policy requires that all outside parties attending campus events register their vehicle for a visitor permit if they wish to park in campus lots. Visitor parking permits cost $3 between 6am and 5pm, and are FREE between 5pm and 6am.
UNC Asheville’s Drama Department and TheatreUNCA are not responsible for any parties who park without a permit and thus receive a ticket from UNCA’s Parking Services department.
