The performing arts program is designed to uncover parallels between an exhibition’s visual art and its counterparts in music, theatre and dance. Affordable and accessible programs may feature local, state or regional artists, solo acts or small ensembles, excerpts or full-length productions, workshops, adult professionals or aspiring young thespians holding forth in the intimate 100-seat Hopkins Theatre or cabaret style in the Kricker Gallery.
