The scholarship is awarded to a deserving high school senior who has proven to be a serious student of the theater and plans to pursue a theatrical education after graduation.

Volunteers have already begun planning the 7th  annual Southern Coastal Bluegrass Festival and sponsors are needed!

The Bluegrass Festival  will be held at the scenic, waterfront Fort Fisher Military Recreation Area at Kure Beach, NC on September 19th & 20th,  2009. Featured along with great bluegrass and bluegrass gospel will be great food, arts, crafts, clogging & square dancing.

Welcome to our 221st Year!   This will be a year of “musical chairs”!  Our beloved jewel, Thalian Hall will be closed for modifications and renovations to include new seating.

Thus, the Thalian Association’s main stage performances will be taking place at the 2nd Street Stage, at the Hannah Block USO Historic Building and Kenan Auditorium.

Thank you all for making our 2007/08 season one of our most successful ever. We were honored as Wilmington’s Best Theater Company by the readers of encore Magazine for the fourth consecutive year, for which we are deeply grateful.

I’m extremely proud of what we continue to accomplish and wildly enthused about our 2009/10 season of productions.
