ASC presents THE WORLD ON STAGE!


The Alys Stephens Center is proud to present the World on Stage. Throughout this festival, you'll witness a sampling of diverse performers that represent unique cultures and artistic expression from around the globe. Festival Events Include:

Witness the famed monks from Tibet's Drepung Loseling Monastery as they perform traditional temple music and mystical masked dances. Starting November 9, the public is invited to observe as they create a beautiful Mandala Sand Painting in the lobby of the ASC everyday from 10 AM to 6 PM. November 11 is the ASC performance at 7 PM.

Come to a Poncho Sanchez show and you'll hear fragments of Latin jazz, swing, bebop, salsa, and other infectious grooves colliding and churning. His over 20-year relationship with Concord Records has yielded more than two dozen recordings, a Grammy Award and several Grammy nominations. This promises to be a show you don't want to miss! November 12 at 8 PM.

From classical indian dance inspired by ancient texts to modern dance as seen in the Bollywood films of today, dancer Parul Kapoor will take you on a magical journey through time. You won't want to miss this performance that's enhanced by traditional indian costumes and great music! November 13 at 10 PM and 11:30 PM.

No other show title has described an artistic endeavor more aptly than African Children's Choir "Journey of Hope." Through glorious performances the choir raises funds to send the members to school, provide housing, and continued leadership training. We hope you will join us in welcoming these amazing artists to the ASC and experience this joyful celebration of the power of hope, compassion, and the arts. November 14 at 3 PM.
