A DYNAMIC WAY OF CELEBRATING DIVERSITY 

Celebrating Hispanic Cultural Awareness, Black History and Women’s History. Our shows feature multicultural themes based on the accomplishments of real historical figures drawn from the African American and Latino/Latina experience as well as the unique perspective of Women.

These programs can be individually adjusted based on the age of the audience, so that they are suitable for grades K-12.

We also tailor our performances to diverse venues and budgets!
