Wilma W. Daniels Gallery and Cape Fear Community College are proud to present Drama Unmasked: The Art of the Stage. This exhibition illuminates the intricate artistry behind theatre production, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the creative forces that shape the stage. From set design and character development to costume creation and performance, Drama Unmasked reveals the collaborative magic that transforms scripts into theatrical universes. 

To bring these worlds to life, theatre professionals immerse themselves in the stories being brought to the stage. A carefully chosen pin on a lapel, the subtle nuance of a character’s persona, the glow of lighting, or the placement of a single prop — all carry equal weight in shaping the transportive experience of live performance. Drama Unmasked invites audiences to step behind the curtain and witness this delicate balance of artistry and imagination.

Featuring sound designs, set models, costume renderings, and acting explorations, this exhibition offers an immersive glimpse into the creative process. Every detail reflects the dedication of CFCC’s theatre faculty and students, who craft performances that resonate beyond the stage. For theatre enthusiasts, film buffs, or simply those curious about the power of live performance, Drama Unmasked reveals the collaborative artistry at the heart of CFCC’s drama program and celebrates the professors and emerging stars who bring its productions to life.
