Dr. Jeremy Fiebig, Professor of Theatre & Directing writes: "FSU Theatre is hard at work preparing for A Very Black History, our February production celebrating Black stories, artistry, and heritage with a dark vibe. Think of it like a haunted house experience. To bring this vision to life, we’re seeking donations of items that can help us create an authentic and visually rich world onstage."  Dr. Fiebig and company are looking for oriental rugs, retro costume pieces (clothing), bluetooth speakers, and antique or retro furniture. Items may be dropped off at Butler Theater on FSU's campus.  Please send Dr. Fiebig an email to coordinate a convenient time. Donors will receive complimentary tickets to the February performance of A Very Black History.
