We are so excited for our Creative Futures Showcase tomorrow night! Over 15 dance and theatre students will take the stage to share pieces they conceived, created, and will perform.

Creative Futures is a program designed to embody our three driving principles: inspiration, confidence, and well-being. It’s exclusive to students enrolled in HCA classes, and gives students the agency to create and trust in their ideas.

We can’t wait to see what these young artists cook up!
