The shows include "Appropriate" by Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins, "Every Person", an adaptation by Bobby Funk of the 15th century play "Everyman", as well as ETSU's own Musical Theatre Showcase.
"The show [Appropriate] deals with the casual racism often perpetuated by white culture; family and family secrets; the relationship between siblings, parents, and children; coming home; and the ghosts that follow and live with us," said assistant theater professor Jonathon Taylor.

"Everyman" Adapted by Bobby Funk will be available online on Oct. 30 at 7 p.m.
