The Kravis Center for Performing Arts will host its eighth rendition of Stage Awakenings, a showcase of high school and college student-created dance, music, poetry, and theater, on April 13. 

“We are thrilled to bring back Stage Awakenings,” says Tracy C. Butler, the director of education at the Kravis Center. “This unique program is free for the participating students and not only showcases the immense talent of Palm Beach County’s young artists but also reflects the Kravis Center’s commitment to nurturing the arts in our community. Working with these young artists is a refreshing experience, and it’s a privilege to witness their growth and creativity come to life on stage.”
