MAB is pleased to receive dance artist Jesse Factor for a 2 evening event, where they share excerpts of a new work-in-progress exploring a fascination with the Diva figure.

This multimedia solo work sifts through the nostalgia and longing inspired by Factor’s listening to multiple Original Broadway cast albums as a child, resulting in a lyrical fantasy.

Collaborators Scott Andrew (projection and media design) and Andy Hasenpflug (original score) round out the creative team.

Post-performance discussion on both evenings. 

This is a donation based event and RSVPs are required. RSVP now, as seating is LIMITED.
