SUMMARY:NEW!!! VR Experience with IMMOTION
DESCRIPTION:Step back 66 million years and journey through the final chapter of the age of dinosaurs in Dinosaur Evolution—a thrilling immersive experience that brings the Cretaceous world to life. Witness feathered raptors on the hunt\, armored giants defending their turf\, and the mighty T. rex at the top of the food chain. But even these perfectly evolved creatures couldn’t escape Earth’s most devastating extinction event. Stunning visuals and cutting-edge science reveal how evolution shaped the dinosaurs—and how birds\, their modern-day descendants\, continue their legacy. It’s a prehistoric adventure that will inspire the next generation of paleontologists and conservationists alike.

SUMMARY:NEW!!! VR Experience with IMMOTION
DESCRIPTION:Step back 66 million years and journey through the final chapter of the age of dinosaurs in Dinosaur Evolution—a thrilling immersive experience that brings the Cretaceous world to life. Witness feathered raptors on the hunt\, armored giants defending their turf\, and the mighty T. rex at the top of the food chain. But even these perfectly evolved creatures couldn’t escape Earth’s most devastating extinction event. Stunning visuals and cutting-edge science reveal how evolution shaped the dinosaurs—and how birds\, their modern-day descendants\, continue their legacy. It’s a prehistoric adventure that will inspire the next generation of paleontologists and conservationists alike.

SUMMARY:Ann Freeman Dance Academy Older Ballet & Recital
DESCRIPTION:Ann Freeman Dance Academy is pleased to announce two end-of-year recitals at the J.E. Broyhill Civic Center on Sunday\, May 31\, 2026\, and will be performed by our AFDA students\, staff\, and guests. \nOur Older Student Ballet recital\, “La Boutique Fantasque\,” is a whimsical comic ballet about a magical toy shop where dolls come to life after hours. Set in France\, the story follows a toymaker whose dancing dolls are purchased by different families\, only for the toys to escape rather than be separated from one another. Filled with humor\, lively characters\, and imaginative choreography\, the ballet is known for its charming storyline and colorful music adapted from works by Gioachino Rossini. Our older students\, ages 10 through our adult classes\, and AFDA staff will perform. The ballet will be followed by “Let Your Inner Glow Shine”\, and performances by our Performance Company. The recital begins at 7:00 pm.
