With the tenor of celebrating the rich and personal and poignant stories, the series concluding with the Diamond in the Rough theme stretches beyond just April’s birthstone, as the diamond captures images of elegance, beauty and perfection. But it takes a lot to get there (at least outside the lab). Audience members will experience unique, metaphoric stories of diamonds in the rough that may never have been seen, looked for or expected, and yet created some perfect moments.
The Zlock Performing Arts Center is located inside the Gateway Center building on campus at 275 Swamp Road, Newtown. The theater is equipped with audio-loop technology for the hearing impaired.
