The Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University welcomes Dance Theatre of Harlem back to our community in November 2016 for the full Chicago debut of an as-yet-untitled ballet from choreographer Francesca Harper. The two-act program set to String Quartet (2008) by new music composer John Adams will be performed live with a Chicago-based quartet. Four public performances, a student matinee and a variety of Creative Engagement activities continue to re-build our city’s relationship with Dance Theatre of Harlem, which we proudly reinstated during the company’s triumphant return to the Auditorium stage in 2014.
