Created by renowned composer Osvaldo Requena, this 19 member company of dancers, musicians and singers has taken the world by storm with its fast-paced rhythms and flawless coordination among dancers.

Movie Series - West Side Story (1961)
Time: 2pm
Tickets: ???
When they say they don't make movies like they used to, this is the sort of film they are talking about. It is easily one of the best musicals ever made. Beginning with the overture and the opening scenes of New York City, circa 1960, it almost screams 'classic'. And you simply can't top the film's instrumental score, its great songs (Maria, Tonight, America, I Feel Pretty, A Place For Us, I Have a Love, and Officer Krupke), its excellent choreography, or its very effective cinematography.

Movie Series - E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Time: 2pm
Tickets: ???
Spielberg's powerful and remarkable film about a boy and his unusual befriendment of an extra terrestrial. Possibly his finest film, E.T. captures a piece of childhood, and reminds the rest of us of a time long since past. It excites a story adults often forget, and a powerful remembrance of a childhood friendship during difficult periods of development. This is the pinnacle of Spielberg's childhood movies. Few other films capture as powerful a message of childhood emotion.
