Music and Dance (MaD!) Theatricals is a unique collaboration of internationally celebrated jazz artists that sprung into existence in 1999 to create the critically acclaimed "Clara’s Dream, a jazz nutcracker." This intergenerational collection of solo performers, led by artistic director, Drika Overton, includes tap dance pioneer Brenda Bufalino, classical dancer and visual artist Dean Diggins, "next generation" tap star Josh Hilberman, physical comedian Bob Thomas, and noted composer, arranger and musician Paul Arslanian. The company also features Christine Hounsell and Katey Yoder.
"Greats of the tap world... shim-shammed, Lindy-hopped, and tap-tangoed their way to standing ovations." - The Boston Globe |
