On Friday, March 26th, students from the CREC Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts Half Day program will perform the work of professional choreographers from New York City, Philadelphia, and Connecticut in this year’s Choreographers’ Showcase.

Choreographers’ Showcase is a rare opportunity for high school dancers to learn and perform with critically acclaimed choreographers. The performance brings world-renowned choreographers, and their original works, to the Academy and to Hartford.

This year we will be presenting Choreographers’ Showcase virtually. We are incredibly fortunate to have hip-hop legend Rennie Harris, award winning choreographer Larry Keigwin, New York dancer Brandon Collwes and former faculty member Leslie Frye Maietta, working with our dancers for this unique opportunity.

No ExitNo Exit

Learning Corridor Courtyard
Aril 30, May 1  7:30 Curtain
Tickets $10 Adult, $5 Student /Seniors

Jean Paul Sartre's No Exit takes us on a journey into Hell where three lost souls are locked in a simple room together for all eternity.

At first, the lack of obvious torturers confuses Garcin, Inez and Estelle, but before long, it becomes clear that they are meant to be each other's torturers.
