We are kicking off our 2018-2019 Performing Arts Series with the mind-bending and soul-grasping talent of MOMIX.

Under the direction of Moses Pendleton and with nothing more than a bit of light, shadow, props, and the human body, MOMIX has astonished audiences on five continents for more than 38 years.
