Etude (2002), presented with permission of the American Dance Legacy, is a choreographic tribute to Jose Limon, choreographed by Artistic Director Carla Maxwell, with music by Franz Schubert, staged by Limon Company member Christine Foote, bringing the style, artistry, and passion for movement and musicality of the Limon legacy to the stage.

Theatre: The Water Engine
By: David Mamet
Directed by: Martin Shell
Imagine you’ve invented an engine that runs on water. Imagine it’s Chicago, 1934, during the Century of Progress World’s Fair. You want to get a patent for your astounding invention, but mysterious agents of powerful institutions are pursuing you and your blind sister! Master American Playwright David Mamet tells this thrilling suspense story as a radio play and stage production at the same time, and SC Theatre presents it onstage and also broadcasts it on WSCB radio. Imagine watching actors, announcer, and a sound effects man present a radio play as it was done in the 1930s. “Extraordinary…verbal brilliance.” New York Times “A vivid theatrical experience.” New York Daily News
