Theatre Productions
Southeastern Illinois College has a long history of theatrical performances, since long before the George T. Dennis Visual & Performing Arts Center Theatre was built in 1996. Now the 450-seat theatre hosts four major SIC productions a year, music concerts, Cultural Arts Series shows, Jr. Falcon Productions’ summer children’s shows, plus regional high school productions, local events, and more.

SI Storytellers – Author G.E.B. Shelton
Author G.E.B. Shelton will talk about his book “Oh Wait; That Was NEVER Me!, a deeply moving memoir exploring the lasting scars of bullying, identity, and resilience. With unflinching honesty and a touch of wit, GEBShelton invites readers to reflect on their own experiences while unpacking the emotional weight of childhood trauma and societal expectations. More than a simple retelling, this book serves as a lifeline for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or labeled unfairly.”
~Excerpt from Shelton’s website
This book signing event is free and open to students, employees, and the general public!
