ONGOING

Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19: (inclement weather: April 25 and 26) Unbound Year-Round: America Dreams /Promise Land “ 2 p.m. Pay what you will. Interactive, site-specific performance. Set within a whimsical, defunct carnival landscape, the work invites audiences to journey together through a series of five immersive “attractions,” each exploring a different facet of American identity.

Through music, image, play, and collective participation, audiences are encouraged to see themselves in one another, to recognize shared hopes and to imagine new possibilities for how we might move this beautiful country of ours forward, together. America Dreams aims to use the power of live performance to foster connection, curiosity, and a renewed sense of belonging in the Lehigh Valley. Locations will change during the performances.
