Joining this love triangle on board the luxury liner are Public Enemy #13, Moonface Martin and his sidekick-in-crime Erma.

DANCE ’25: HOMECOMING

Corbett Theatre
Feb. 28 – Mar. 2, 2025

A moving evening of world-premiere choreography, this year’s concert, under the talented guidance of Professor Jeri Gatch, strikes a more familial tone with its theme: Homecoming. What could be more appropriate after a year-and-a-half of touring productions to off-site venues due to the renovation of NKU School of the Art’s theatres, than welcoming us back to campus and creating a stellar line-up of guest choreographers who include NKU dance alumni. With styles ranging from ballet to street dance, African dance to musical theatre, this concert has something for everyone to enjoy.
