St. George Theater Announces Pop-Up Series, '5,6,7,8!'
Performances include traditional Mexican music, Dave Resultan on the keys, Sri Lankan dance, and Black American music.
The St. George Theatre will present a free, four-day pop-up series celebrating music and dance from around the world on May 5, 6, 7, and 8 in the theatre's Front Vestibule and Grand Lobby.
"We are thrilled to welcome back audiences to enjoy live music and dance, even if it means with a limited capacity for this four-day series" says Doreen P. Cugno, President & CEO of the nonprofit theatre. "Through the Department of Cultural Affairs' Cultural Immigrant Initiative, we proudly present this enriching program highlighting the diversity of talent and culture that spans across our city."
Entitled "5, 6, 7, 8!" due to the events taking place May 5th through 8th - and playing on the well-known "5,6,7,8" count off for dancers - this late-afternoon, early-evening series will be offered free of charge to attendees on a first come, first served basis as space is limited.
