The Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts (MCA) and Saint Mary’s University Department of Fine and Performing Arts will present the Dance Repertory Company (DRC) in MCA Celebrates 50 Years of Arts Excellence.

This production, which showcases students from all of the MCA programs, will be presented at 7:30 pm Thursday, March 30 and Friday, March 31 and 3:00 pm Saturday, April 1 on the Saint Mary’s University campus at the beautiful Page Theatre. Tickets are $15 for adults and $7 for students and seniors (62+). Come join us for a night of dance and music!

This year’s performance incorporates both classical and contemporary dance, including excerpts from The Sleeping Beauty, Le Corsaire, and Swan Lake; a 1920’s-style jazz piece; and a newly-commissioned contemporary dance work. Additionally, several of MCA’s music division students will present both live and recorded instrumental and vocal music, and visual arts students will be displaying photo and live exhibitions of recent work.

Tickets may be purchased at MCA’s office from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday-Thursday, or Saturday from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. For more information about MCA or the DRC, visit https://mca.smumn.edu/, e-mail mca@smumn.edu, “like” them on Facebook, or call 507-453-5500.
