For The Locals

If you're in the area this Sunday, head on over to the State Theatre and check out Brio Dance Company's spring show: To Gloria With Love.

 

“To Gloria with Love” is a montage of the years that cover the booming 1920s, the Great Depression, World War II, and the enduring heart of the American people that emerged out of one of the most tragic times in our history. It's a story based on my late grandfather's legacy, the story of a young Italian man whose family came over to America by way of Ellis Island and made their home here. His is one story among millions who not only lived through some of the most turbulent years that America and our world has endured but who have also fought for justice, hope, and freedom...the freedom that we now enjoy. It's a story that I hope will touch the hearts of those who have lived it and will change the hearts of those who haven't. For my grandfather and for many, many others, “To Gloria with Love” is an American treasure.”
