The Somali Dance Musical

Rooted in the art of riwaayad—Somali theatrical storytelling—this production highlights the significance of dance as a form of cultural expression and community.

Sixpack

Pam and Jou used to be best friends. Promising star athletes on their volleyball team, they both had big dreams of moving away from Minnesota and playing in college. Jumping back and forth between their teenage years and adulthood, we see how the tensions of family, culture, and ambition shape these young women and their friendship.

With a backdrop of the competitive world of Hmong volleyball, SIXPACK explores if a friendship can withstand the harms, betrayals, and messiness that happen when you feel your life pulling away from the future you envisioned.
