APSU opera theatre students to premiere film about 2020
Austin Peay State University opera theatre students in the APSU Department of Music have been working hard to create an opera piece that covers the events of 2020 in a unique way.
And at 7:00pm April 27th, they will premiere the finished product, a film titled “Hope: The Work Begins,” at Upstairs at Strawberry Alley.
The film also will be livestreamed. Those interested in the livestream need to check with the APSU Department of Music and APSU Opera Theatre Facebook pages before the event.
Admission is free to the in-person and livestreamed events.
The project is a musical response to the events of 2020 and includes many collaborations, especially with Austin Peay orchestra students.

APSU has given more than 3,000 Vaccine doses to Community
Austin Peay State University’s vaccination site in parking lot 11, next to the Ard Building, has administered more than 3,000 doses of the Moderna vaccination. This site represents a major University effort to help keep the campus and the Clarksville-Montgomery County community safe, and we could use your help to make sure this effort continues to run smoothly.
We received strong campus support early in this venture, but as the semester end approaches, fewer people have signed up to help us at this site. If you are interested in supporting this project by volunteering at the vaccination tent, please sign up at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4DAEA628A5F4C43-vaccine1.
As of April 5, all adults 18+ are eligible to receive the vaccine in Montgomery County. You can schedule your appointment online at Austin Peay State University for Montgomery County: COVID-19 Vaccination (signupgenius.com).
