A Dynamic Season with High Point Theatre

High Point Theatre
High Point Theatre
High Point Theatre has a dynamic new season in store with jazz, comedy, Celtic, Broadway, magic and much more.
 
Owned and operated by the city of High Point, it's also home to the North Carolina Shakespeare Festival. David Ford chats with Director of the City of High Point Theatre, David Briggs. Coming up this Saturday, February 9, at 7:30pm it's The Birdland Big Band directed by drummer Tommy Igoe. Then on Valentine's Day at High Point Theatre it's The Best of Broadway (You Raise Me Up!) comes to town. For St. Patty's Day it'll be the world famous Danu live in concert. And in the spring it's a jazz lover's paradise with The Ninety Miles Project, guitarists Kevin Eubanks and Stanley Jordan, and much more. All of the events are family friendly and very reasonably priced.
Before his arrival in the Triad, David had already established himself as a fixture in the Austin, Texas arts scene as a radio host for Classical 89.5 KMFA. During his tenure there, he produced and hosted hundreds of programs including Mind Your Music, The Basics and T.G.I.F. Thank Goodness, It's Familiar, which each won international awards in the Fine Arts Radio Competition. As a radio journalist with 88.5 WFDD, his features have been recognized by the Associated Press, Public Radio News Directors Inc., Catholic Academy of Communication Professionals, and Radio Television Digital News Association of the Carolinas. David has written and produced national stories for NPR, KUSC and CPRN in Los Angeles and conducted interviews for Minnesota Public Radio's Weekend America.
