About the event

Get a front-row seat to the creative process! Join us for a special behind the scenes look at the Big Red Dance Project as they prepare for their upcoming showcase, coming to Main Library on June 5, 2026.

(Details about the main event are coming soon!)

This isn't just a practice session, it is a live and public rehearsal! It is a chance to see the artistry of planning a performance up close.

The dance group will be moving throughout the library rehearsing from 6:00 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Explore your library and find us! Whether you're browsing the stacks or passing through the lobby, feel free to stop and watch the creative process unfold in real-time.

We appreciate your energy and flexibility as we turn our everyday environment into a dynamic rehearsal space!
