2026: BLOOM

In just one month we’ll be center stage at the beautiful Wang Theatre for our greatly anticipated 32nd annual performance BLOOM! Join us for this joy-filled, inspiring celebration. BLOOM celebrates the creative growth that unfolds when young people are given space to express themselves freely. Throughout the year, our participants explored what it means to nurture ideas, take creative risks, and flourish together through the arts—all leading up to our annual performance on May 21, 2026. We can’t wait to share the joy, color, and imagination that will BLOOM from this season’s work.
