Dance Out Loud! Act Out Loud! Words Out Loud!

Join us beginning Monday, May 17 as we move into our Community Challenges where you take the stage for the upcoming 5th Annual Central PA Theatre & Dance Fest!

Dance Out Loud – Join choreographers Shannon Bishop, Cynthia Mazzant, and Ann Van Kuren as you learn dance routines from belly dance to modern to jazz to pop –  a new video each week where you will learn one sequence a week in order to put them altogether during the June Festival. Watch for the coming videos.

Act Out Loud – Perform Shakespeare in Your Backyard, Stroll down your Sidewalk in a Costume or Hat for our Sidewalk Parades, or enter the Costume Design Challenge. Complete details announced May 17.

Words Out Loud – calling all PA Poets! Submit a poem for our poetry showcase, visit an Art Gallery and write a new poem about your visit – we’ll be playing with ekphrastic poems, cento poems, and even learn the new Golden Shovel Poem form. Poet Camille-Yvette Welsch will lead us through workshops beginning the week of May 17. Come write with us and help us bring the Words Out Loud.

Be a part of the festival, June 11-13, through our virtual programming!
