Treat

— happening now!

— being created!

— coming soon!

Like the night before Christmas, your birthday and Halloween rolled into one, Treat is a roller coaster of imagination and unexpected delights. Java Dance Theatre captures the anticipation and excitement hidden inside a huge stack of mysterious presents. The trials of giving and taking burst forth onto the stage as the dancers unwrap secret dreams, games to play, superheroes and a dance party for all. Treat is inspired by the Artisan Series .
