Silent Auction is LIVE NOW! CLICK HERE
Once again, the High Country region has a gathering spot where quality entertainment can be presented year-round. Thousands of folks helped make the October reopening of the App Theatre a reality. We hope you felt the pride of accomplishment, the excitement of sold-out shows and the energy of eager audiences waiting for the curtain to go up. It was an eight-year journey, and throughout it all, we remained dedicated to keeping this theatre alive and vibrant.
While the pandemic may have closed the Appalachian for an extended “intermission,” you can count on us to be back… bigger, better, and bolder than ever before… with your continued support. Today, we are asking for your help to keep this historic Theatre strong until it can safely reopen.
The Appalachian Theatre of the High Country is hosting a special online FUNdraising event, Lights, Camera... AUCTION! from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, September 17, 2020.
