A special showcase of scenes, songs, and performances!
Flashback Theater Co. (FbTC) is taking their summer programming on the road with The Artist Showcase Tour! The tour will feature Flashback veteran artists singing songs and performing monologues; sharing the magic of FbTC with the surrounding region. The Artist Showcase Tour will stop in McCreary, Laurel, Casey, Russell, Wayne, and Pulaski counties. Each performance will be free and open to the public, with a suggested $10-15 donation.
FbTC, the only theater of its kind in the region, is well known for its professional programming in Somerset. As the company looks towards the future, it is committed to reaching artists and audiences throughout the region with a vision for theater that speaks to the soul. Several of Flashback’s veteran performing artists travel to Flashback from outside Pulaski County, including Producing Artistic Director Sommer Schoch of Russell County.
