Anthony Aston Players
Wake Forest University
About us
Our mission -
Motivated by love for the art of theatre, the Anthony Aston Players are dedicated to the promotion of the theatre arts at Wake Forest University. To this end, we seek to function as a service organization to the University Theatre, to provide students opportunities to develop skills, to participate in the production of theatre, and to promote high standards of theatre arts by recognizing outstanding work and dedication in the Wake Forest University Theatre.
What We Do
The Anthony Aston Players meets weekly at 4:00pm on Mondays in The Ring Theatre of Lower Scales Fine Arts Center; this doubles as the departmental faculty meeting, and serves as an opportunity for everyone involved with University Theatre to share ideas, promote events, and voice concerns. Interested individuals can join our listserv for regular email updates by contacting our Secretary.

-
