Brevard College Theatre kicks off its 2026-27 season with Mark Brown’s adaptation of the Jules Verne classic Around the World in 80 Days Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 1 – 3 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 4, at 2:30 p.m. in the Morrison Playhouse at the Paul Porter Center for Performing Arts on the campus of Brevard College.
Directed by faculty member Dan Toot, Around the World in 80 Days sees Phileas Fogg take to the seas, lands, and skies to circumnavigate the globe with train heists, elephant rides, and frontier gun battles.
This adventure story will feature seven Brevard College student actors: Nell O’Brien ‘27, Tallulah Fish ‘28, Madison Norris ‘27, Devian Anderson ‘28, Jonathan McNabb ‘29, Logan Hislop-Boccanfuso ‘29, and Kevin Taylor ‘29.
Those seven actors will play more than 39 characters and the audience will experience one of literature’s classic adventure stories while witnessing the impressive speed and agility of an ensemble of student actors, with technical and design support from the entire Brevard College Theatre company.
The show runs 90 minutes with no intermission. Ticket prices are $5 for students, faculty, and staff and $15 for the general public. Tickets can be purchased online at onthestage.tickets/brevard-college/season or at the door, if available.
