Videos from Appalachian State University
 
The following video clip is from Darrick Claiborne's first theatrical fashion show at Appalachian State University. It stars student volunteers who rehearsed the choreography with Claiborne for about 1-2 months. The show was presented during Homecoming of 1993 and the energy was over the top.

This is where Claiborne's student production family began. Many of the students continued to work with Claiborne throughout his many years producing his theatrical productions. The best part of it all, was that everything was free including admission to the productions, borrowing of the clothes, and the many hours of producing the show by Claiborne and his classmates. It was a labor of love. They believed in what they were doing and that joy carried on to the stage.
