Brigadoon's fantastical story is that of a village that rises in the Scottish mists just one day every hundred years. Two American tourists lost in the hills of Scotland stumble upon the enchanted village, where the men are clad in tartan kilts, the lasses swish around in multicolored petticoats, and the bagpipes are blowing. Tommy soon falls in love with the village lass, Fiona, but if Tommy stays in Brigadoon, he must give up everything from the present. And, if Fiona leaves with Tommy, Brigadoon will vanish into the highland mist, never to be seen again.
All 1,650 seats in the mainstage theater at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center are no more than 90 feet from the stage - making every seat "the best seat in the house" at the performance venue which is located on the eastern edge of the college's Niceville campus of at 100 College Boulevard.
