Footlights 2007–2008

For the Arts Center’s fortieth birthday season, we have pulled out all the stops. 2007–2008 Footlights brings you passion and brilliance in unforgettable performances of music and dance. The Arts Center’s Theatre and Matrix performance spaces give you a rare opportunity to experience the performers up close. Every seat is, indeed, a great seat.

The Performance Series offers a full range of each ensemble’s artistry. The Family Series, a family-friendly event specifically designed for patrons of all ages, is an earlier, shorter performance that includes opportunities to talk to the performers about their art and lives.
